I took them a new set of tires and wheels to have the tires mounted and wheels balanced. When I got home I installed the wheels and checked tire pressures. All four had around 50 psi. I guess after they over filled them to set the bead, they neglected to bleed them to the correct pressure. That was enough to convince me to not go back.

I would never take a car to Firestone or Goodyear. They will literally hire anyone. I know because I've had friends work there. Friends I would never let even drive my car, much less wrench on it.

The NTB we delivered to would regularly break customer lug studs, then charge the customer to replace them.

I blew mine out and have been dealing with it the last couple of months. I finally bought some solid bushings. Just need to find some time to swap them out. |

I luckily have a guy at work who I actually trust that is willing to do it and relatively cheaply considering how much of a bitch it is

Not sure my oil gallery gasket is done or if I overfilled the oil on the last change. Noticed some light smoking when i got back home yesterday in traffic (vented hood may have made it obvious), and found oil running up the dipstick when i checked it cold this morning. The level is high so I'm hoping it's just that.
I was able to road trip to and from Houston without any issues, but who knows. I have no codes, so maybe just drive it and let the oil catch cans get some of it/burn off the excess. |

Yeah, you're absolutely right on that one. I'm sure it's an overfill issue. I'll just drive it around and burn the excess off, pretending it's a formula 1 car on startup.... I'm working on getting the PIDs for my dash command software so i can pick up Oil pressure from OBDII, but everything else looks fine. Unfortunately the only oil reading i have available in the car is the temp (which could indicate a failure of some sort, but it's not reliable for pressure readings). I'd rather be paranoid and have a working car instead of negligent with a broken one. Ideally I'll do the gasket, oil pump, and timing chain all at once in the future. |
