So this happened when I got my tires put on at Walmart.
So... called around to find the cheapest tire mounting service in my area. Walmart had the competition beat by around $20.
and this is what i got back. Going to have pursue the managment. I also noticed i had roughly 12 miles less range than when I left the car. It also took an hour longer than the original estimated 1.5 hour wait. The mechanic also said "Car's got quite the kick to it!" when I picked it up.

cars got kick in it? Yeah they def test drove it, just curious why not go to pep boys or something they charge 9.99 for a mount and balance, and another 9.99 to put it on.
Thats unfortunate, GL with the lawsuit/pursuing the responsible |

Well i've heard horror stories about suing walmart.. they also have the largest legal team in corporate america. Pep boys said they wouldnt mount any tires i didnt purchase there. Pretty bummed about it.

Really? You sure, I got hankooks on order and im getting my rays powdercoated and when I get both, I am going to pepboys, they said they will mount any tires (regardless of you buy them there or not).
And yeah well hire a lawyer and sue them, you might come out a couple mil richer. |

that's what i'm thinking. i got in touch with corporate, and they are surprised and will have the store manager get in touch with me. maybe i can talk them into buying me an aftermarket bumper, and just repair my current stock bumper.

Seriously? Wal-Mart?
Looks like an expensive lesson learned.

Damn this sucks but you should have carefully inspected your Z after you got it back and pointed this out before you left
This is what happens when you don't go to an enthusiast shop, lesson learned |
