    LOL, some. The ones with families usually are pretty good. The places I've worked at, we'd rotate on half staff alternating Saturdays.

    At my first 6month service, it was written that they put all 4 tires at 36psi. Nope. And the valve caps were missing.

    What where they inflated to? Sometimes their gauges are off calibration vs. the TPMS by a few PSI. I've had gauges fluctuate from 3~6 PSI and they were either adjusted or returned.

    In dash was always 35-36. Right after it was serviced it showed 30-31

    Having worked at a Chrysler dealership and trained as a Chrysler certified lube tec. I have seen my share of stuff, the funniest was when a different tec had just dropped and filled a ram with a hemmroid with oil ran it back up to check for leaks and was standing under it when it was started starring up at the engine he figured out in seconds he forgot the oil filter. Blew 4qts of oil in his face.

    Sounds about right for the OR trims. My OR states 31 on the sticker.

    Then his gauge is definitely off. You can tell the service advisor to let the technician know to not use that gauge, as it makes him look bad. LOL.

    I have a story too. I've left an oil filter off before too in my early days! It was a red 1994 Honda Civic EX coupe. Will never forget that car! I got the name nickname "Exxon valdez " within the first week of working there. LOL.

    I'm telling you guys, those stick gauges they use are so bad after awhile of service. They get dropped, banged up, and stepped on all the time.
    These are the most commonly used Amflo brand inflator gauges at most dealerships. Never trust theses things.

    I think the procedure to reset the TPMS after rotation requires you to have all the tires set to 30psi. That might explain why they were set to 30.
