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

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 not how suing works. He will get compensated for his time and damage that's about it

Well the main thing is he gets his Z back to how it was when he first brought it in, as long as that is taken care of.

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.

The other guy said millions, you won't even get 1% of that. Get your damages fixed and be happy.

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
