Default Big Suprise This Morning



Thrilled...
at least it wasn't going to fall off because PEPBOYS tightened the lug nuts so tight I can't get the lugs off!!!

Sorry bout that man! If I was you I would put a can of Fix a Flat in it and take it back to Pepboys, and if they broke any lugs from over tightening, have them fix them for free. Good luck

At least it was only flat on one side, right? Yeah I hate it when them tire jockeys get happy with them impact wrenches!

People doing it themselves are usually worse than the tire jockeys.

I've seen two vehicles that someone had put loctite on the studs. I've seen at least 5 where people have put loctite on the oil drain plug.

Next time ask them to do it properly and torque them down and not like that they did.

If I had a lift or the proper jacks to get the truck off the ground I would do my tire rotation myself, but I dropped the tire off at town fair and will be able to pick it up in about an hour, hopefully they can fix it. If they can't, well I guess the town will be hearing from me!

I may invest in a bigger jack or two

bummer, flat tire. Always a crappy way to start, end or continue your day.

Big brand tire does flat repair for free.
