RE: Tire rotation (was:Dealer Oil Change, Mobil 1 & that "sleazy feeling")



I was going on my 96 Jetta GLS service Plan which was every 7500 miles.
I have not reached the 5000 mile on my 98 Jetta GLX yet.   But I would
think they would at least rotate them at 10,000 miles.  My dealer did
this for me automatically at every 7500 miles on my 96 Jetta.  Guess I
just have a kick ass dealer.

		Technically, yes.  In a real life, well, not always.
		The two dealers that I spoke and dealt with  had a
somewhat
		different system.  They "check" the tires for "unusual
wear" and
		rotate them ONLY if such is diagnosed.

		I tried to make a point that regular tire rotation is a
PREVENTIVE
		measure, i.e. if you notice unusual wear at a, for
example, 5,000
		mile service, there is something seriously wrong with
your car's 
		alignment.  They conceptually agreed, but would rotate
my tires
		ONLY if I made a specific REQUEST when I drop off the
car.
