Just got back from having my tires balanced and again mechanic had trouble getting 2 lug nuts off and both the studs and nuts are ruined. The last place to work on my truck was a Dodge dealership where I had brakes, tire rotation and tune up done. I think more likely the person who put them on did this. Now to top that off they not only balanced my tires they rotated them back again. I specifically said "I just had them rotated, so I guess they need to be balanced since the bouncing just started, don't rotate them again". I am taking it back to the dealership insisting they did it since I now need new studs anyway.
This is the second time the dealership cross threaded my lug nuts and at least twice on my previous Dodge car and this is different dealerships. Don't they teach these guys to turn them a thread or two by hand first instead of just going straight for the air gun?? HTF am I to know if I am going to be able to get them off myself if I get a flat??
Anyone here ever work at a place like this and can you explain to me why it is so hard to put a lug nut on properly??? How many lug nuts and studs do these guys ruin in a day??
