Tire Shop Stories...

Since most of us have stories about derps at different tire shops, lets share them, and laugh about how stupid some of these people are, ill go first...

Yesterday, i got my treadwright guard dogs from Fed-Ex, and was in a rush to get them on the truck. i took it to tire warehouse, around 5pm since i knew they were open until 6pm, and took walk-in appointments. so i drive into one of the parking spots where they tell you to park and get the work done. there are 3 guys working there, a manager (who turned out to be a derp), a gangsta G derp, and a fat redneck with a ched (term for no-neck, goes straight from chest to head) derp. gangsta derp and fat red neck derp were not even wearing tire warehouse shirts, gangsta g derp was wearing shorts so big they looked like baggy capri's...

so redneck derp starts to jack the truck up starting with the rear wheels, well the parking space was slanted so the truck started rolling back and pushing redneck derp until it mustve clicked that he needed to drop the jacks, at which point the truck dropped right to the ground. redneck yells out, "MANUAL???" to which i replied, "no, automatic." (like that makes a difference). gangsta g derp is now out looking around like he has no idea wtf is going on. redneck derp tells him to get started on the front, so he jacks the front up, redneck derp again jacks the back up, and the truck is finally off the ground. i watch gangsta g derp almost put the impact wrench on the SPLINE DRIVE lugs, when i told him he would need the locks, and gave them to him. manager derp was watching all of this, while it happened as i was the only truck/car there...

they get all the tires off the truck, and inside airing them down.. manager derp is now doing most of the work since it is beyond the average toddlers IQ at this point. manager derp gets the tires off the wheels, and starts putting the new tires on, whilst gangsta g derp is still struggling with trying to get his ONE fucking tire off the wheel. he is using a steel bar prying at the inside of my wheels so the tire would come off.. i was thinking to myself WTF! the dove tails they were using on the tire mounting machines were steel as well.. so after all the new tires were on the wheels, its time to balance. manager derp puts the wheel on the machine, i tell him it needs to be static balanced with half the weight on one side and the other half on the other. so hey gets pissy and says, "ugh a normal balance like i was going to" and i told him nope, its still static, but per the directions from treadwright thats how youre supposed to do it.. he spins the tire on the dynamic setting and it comes back asking for 16oz of weight. he reaches over and started un-peeling some tape weight, im thinking to myself, he isnt going to put that much on.... and tell him 16oz? thats unacceptable. now spin the tires on the static setting like how i told you, he tells me, COMPUTER WONT LET ME DO THAT! so at this point im about ready to suction this derps head to the balancing machine and add 16oz of weight to it, thinking that would help him since clearly he is such a retard.

long story short, he did it how i asked, and the tires ended up taking 1.75oz of weight............ thought the computer couldnt do that? asshole.

ok, you guys' turn! also say where it happened so other people can be saved from the derps!

 

no one has any stories?

 

Most of mine aren't funny and they all end the same way... tire shops around here generally suck!
