Re: Can't win on Tire Care

After getting my new Toyo's at Town Fair Tire (CT and MA) they broke the 
locking bolt key.  Since it was a saturday, they had to call the local VW 
dealer, open the parts department and purchase 4 new wheel bolts.  
Surprisingly, TFT actually told me about the mishap and I waited patiently.  
In the mean time, one of the "techs" came up to me, handed me the keys, and 
said my car is ready.  I walked out, noticed the missing wheel bolts, and 
promptly told the manager that his employees are idiots.  All in all, it 
took an extra hour to get the wheels on.  I won't even go into how they 
couldn't align the car after 3 attempts.  The steering wheel is still off by 
15 degrees.

Does anyone know if the dealers are any better?
Lessons learned, get rid of the wheel locks before you run into any 
problems.
