i got a great deal on my tires but just brought them the rims. while i was there one of the "techs" came out to explain to another customer that he broke off 2 studs because someone else left switched the gun to tighten

Another show Lady- Why does your car say Corvette on the engine? We have a Corvette and your car doesn't look like one. LMFAO

I'm bias when it comes to Town Fair my brother works there and I have quite a few friends that work for them in different shops I get great service (mainly because I go right out back and pay the techs $10-20 to do my bidding.

plus if I'm dealing with a shop I don't know my car never leaves my sight.

i feel the same way about taking my car places...theres only a few people i trust with my car. idk how people manage to damage shit by putting a fucking tire on..its baffles me...so anyways store manager said theres nothing he can do but was very nice and understood..and his regional manager said no go without even seeing the car??(asshole) so now im gonna have to call the main offices and fight with them...this is all horseshit just for 2 fucking tires!!!!!

I also hate that they use an impact gun on the lugs. even with the torque sticks it always seems like they are tighten to over 200 foot pounds. If you get a flat and don't have a breaker bar you are completely fucked. Not to mention it is a good way to warp rotors
