Should I be mad?
I just had my steering lock recall done today.They ended up doing that and they took care of that and some update for the Nav....and now my new issue with the dealership...
I'm semi-pissed because they drove the car for 4 miles afterwards. Tried finding out why they needed to do a test drive for these 2 things and didn't get a straight answer. They also are saying that I now need new rear tires when my car has just 15k miles and I never really drive it hard. They just happen to have a gently used set in stock that I could get at discount. Trying to find out if it's normal for them to do a test drive after doing the steering lock replacement? |

Agreed. I got 5k miles out of my rears before they were garbage. RWD cars are notorious for chewing up the rears. 10k is about normal, 15k is good, 20k is a retired veteran driving

... 4 miles... 4...
If it was 40, yeah, I'd be pissed, 4 is nothing... And just because they say you need tires doesn't mean you NEED them... And they aren't your mom, do whatever YOU want Oh, and you've gotta be a sucker to buy tires from a dealershit

Glad to hear that my tires are doing good. I haven't really had a chance to drive it hard since I've owned it so figured the wear should still be okay. (I probably need to change that this summer.) Thanks guys...just a little over protective I guess. |

My last 3 service sheets. Sheet one. tires marked in the yellow box Sheet two. Tires marked in the green Sheet 3. Fronts were green, rear was yellow. Obviously, the guy doing sheet one was a moron. Some of these guys don't know the difference between an all-season and a summer tire.

Btw, on the tires, I had mine flip flopped
Inside tread was 2/32nds, outside was 5-6, now the inside is 5-6, and the outside is 2 Prolongs your overall tire life

Enough of that -- good luck!!! It reminds me of my Dad chastising me when I was rebuilding my first Datsun head (a 510) and I was trying to save a few bucks by reusing a gasket or two. "False economy" he called it.
