I worked at sears as a technician for over 2 years. I knew wtf was going on so I would do the jobs right but I can attest that there are so many people at these tire places that do now know what they are doing and they are allowed to work on any car. I have had to fix idiots mistakes time after time, it happens. Just have to make sure you watch their every move and what I do now is i take my wheels off myself and bring them in just so they can not mess things up more when they jack up the car and take them off themselves. Always double check everything before you leave the lot otherwise it makes it harder to get compensation for their mess ups.

this has happened to me...*twice*. the second time i wrote out a note detailing exactly where each tire need to go (and specified that there were 2 sizes, directional, etc)...they still managed to f*** it up.

I know this is kind of thread jacking but anyone know the widest wheel you can fit in the back of an S?
Oh and speaking of people's screw up's I had a buddy who decided to buy some "high performance" kumho's for his stock '92 camry and managed to mounted all four of these directional tires backwards lol.
