We gave a heads up to the techs at Sears about the tires on my daughter's car about this and they said they weren't allowed to work on the car then. They did do it anyway, luckily nobody died. I did wonder if we had just acted like a dumb customer and ordered and paid for 4 new tires, mount and balance, and alignment, would they have stopped work and refunded everything when they found the pokies on their own.
