    A few additions to make me feel cool.
    I had free oil changes and tire rotation on mine. It needed it in the dead of winter so I was like what the hell, I will have them do it. I removed the valve stem cap from the drivers front before I walked in (they are made from .45 cal brass so they can't just pull one off the work bench). I waited two hours. They come get me and tell me I owe them something like $70. I politely told them I was pretty sure it was included for free. After another 20 min of them figuring that out they agree that everything was free of charge. I walk out see the valve stem cap is still missing from the left front and can tell a socket has not been on the lugs. I open the door and pop the hood to make sure the filter is not leaking and the oil cap is on and the service writer walks over and ask what I was doing. I told him I was checking my property to ensure everything was as it should be. He seemed annoyed, I then ask why they didn't rotate my tires when it said they had on the receipt and he says "oh we did" I pulled the valve stem cap from my pocket and said "no, you didn't". And wiped the dirt off the lugs with my finger and I put it back on. They will never see my truck again.

    His name is Wayne! I could not remember so I had to call them. If you take it there tell them you want Wayne to do it and ask to talk to him before he takes your truck in. Show him what aftermarket parts you have. For the SPC UCA's I always take my own (I think it's a 32mm) socket for the adjustable ball joint and give him the SPC alignment instruction sheet. He is a really nice guy.

    I sent my cousin over there and he didn't ask for Wayne like I told him to. Did not tell them he had aftermarket parts and when he got his truck back it was all out of spec. I called and asked for Wayne, he got on the phone and said he was off that day. We took it right back over and he took it in with no delay and fixed everything in 20 min at no charge. They normally charge $70-$100 depending on what deal they have going on.

    I'll be at Craft at 5:15. It in Midtown on the corner of Martin and S Virginia (near Junkie Clothing). Parking sucks so it's best to park in the neighborhood on Martin and walk.

    I had the same issiue. They said the tires where rotated but the lugs looked untouched and I did not know so I did not valve stem trick.

    I was out at the old Martin Marietta pit off the Mustang exit, then these clouds rolled in so I decided running a 70 foot crane isn’t the best idea. Headed to my yard now then I should be free to go!

    Sorry I had to bail. Books are read and kids are asleep and it's fire pit time for dad.
