Update. So, when I picked up my car yesterday, they said that there was some uneven wear patterns on the tires, and a rotation and alignment was a good idea.($150+) Really? These tires are are only 8,000 Hwy miles old, and I paid for and use the lifetime rotation and balance from the goodyear shop that I bought them from every other oil change (6-7,000 miles). (plus, i just had a bearing replacedshortly after the tires were put on, and they checked the alighnment after that and it was fine.) So, I asked him to show me the wear on the tires, since it wasn't noted on the paper. After much stammering and random rubbing of the tire, he tried to show me this tire was more rounded on the edge than the others --which was total BS. I told him I could still see the little rubber flaps on all 4 that are there from the manufacturing, and could he please be more specific about exactly where the uneven wear was since these were brand new tires. More tire rubbing and stammering, then finally a Well, Mike is my expert, and he really is particular about these things. Blah Blah Blah. Also, The coutesy check they supposedly do said I only had 10/32nds left on the tread depth, and that all my fluids were fine, when in fact they weren't. I was out of washer fluid. I asked him how was I supposed to trust that the other fluids were fine, when they obviously didn't check them? I told him I wouldn't be back for any more service since I couldn't trust them with my car. And I won't.
