Thanks SD and Auto Innovations (Pics)
Thanks suby_dude!
I made an informal appointment for this morning at Auto Innovations with Steve to get my HTRZ II's mounted on my Actions and also an alignment. Excellent job all around. Thanks to Manny for mounting the tires, Steve for the alignment. Orlando for moving the Expedition on Dub-Two's out of the way.
I never had the wagon aligned before, even after lowering it. I actually had positive camber on the front. Steve fixed all that, car handles nice.
Thanks SUBY DUDE!!!

p.s. Midnite, Auto Innovations is in Milpitas, behind the police station, so be careful driving in the area!

I don't think they're that great. I just found out today while working on my car that they threaded one of my lug nuts wrong and ruined my wheel stud and lug nut in the process. They also over torqued all the lug nuts. And they swapped my original valve caps with some other ones when I got my new tires there.

Did you ever call them and ask to get these issues rectified? If not, well there's not much you can say, since, a great shop isn't a perfect shop. But a shop with great customer service is a great shop

These are obvious signs of a technician who used an air ratchet to tighten the lug nuts. Real mechanics/technicians use a torque wrench after threading the lug nuts several turns by hand, first. It's 65 ft. lbs., by the way.

What's to get rectified? Am I going to risk getting back there and let them replace my wheel stud so they can over torque my lug nuts again? And you think they'll still have my original valve caps after a month?
I live in Folsom, and I can replace the wheel stud myself, so I'm not going to spend $30 on gas just so I can drive down there & let them try to fix it. $30 can buy me a lot of wheel studs and lug nuts and valve caps
However unhappy I am with their work, the most economical thing that I can do is not going back there again, unfortunately. So all I can do now is ***** about it
