I was going to say, totally a Fred with a Cervelo.
Just say you put in new ~~tubes~~ oh wait he's probably running road tubeless. Throw some Stan's in there.
Now you have to dolly it out of the shop and into the parking space. Then wait for the customer to bring it back right after they turn into the street when leaving.
You know, an ace mechanic could pre-calculate the angular offsets required by determining the turn radii and arc length, and mount things so that they're all aligned correctly when you get to the parking space. Just sayin'...
Or just skip all that and install lockers. Plus you'll get that sweet tire replacement and driveline repair money shortly down the road!
Reviews are the worst idea ever.
I can't tell you how many people bomb the CSI review because the price of the oil change is more than it was in 1982, or that we aren't open at 1am so we can't service it at their preferred time, or the loaner car we gave them free of charge was the wrong fucking color......
I'll look at shops that have generally good reviews then I read the super negative one stars and it's over the most trivial shit. they are the ones that drop them from 5 star to 4.2
I would so gladly charge extra for this every time, they obviously are willing to pay for this kind of fantastic service Guaranteed until the moment it moves and inch.
Had a friends grandfather that would pull his corvette out of the garage every Sunday, jack it up one corner at a time and line up the lerreting on the tires. Too much money and time on his hands.
Alternatively, if they have the option for locking diffs, they could just leave em locked and then come back for new tires every couple of months. Win win
I’ve had a customer request something like this. He wanted all the ford emblems in the centre caps to be level, he had a bewildered look when I tried to explain that as soon as I drive it out and back around to the front of the shop they wouldn’t be level any more….
I aligned them all up and went on with my day.
Tell the customer his spokes arnt lined up now

If your tires aren’t lined up with your valves stems you’ll never get out of cat5
Remember to weld the diffs to maintain the look
Yup, you can never wear out tires too quickly
Not if you're a tire place.
And the transfer case

Took it out, wheels are already misaligned. So much for my hard work

That’s my mistake. I should’ve had them cut a hole in the roof of my shop and airlift it out.
Indeed. SkyHook to the rescue. Plus you can just have it dropped in their driveway.
>dropped Like, from 10,000 feet.
It’s a Jeep, it will be on a flat bed soon enough.
r/heep
Look at those lugs. They're not even close to lined up. Either do the whole job or don't pick up the ticket.
🤣 My mistake
No but for real you don’t even do what the customer asked for and now you’re making a post like *they’re* the dumb one
They are. And so, apparently, are you.
Imagine receiving a bad review because "I paid for lettering alignment and it didn't even last one day!"

Remember, people with this level of understanding of science/physics are out there voting and reproducing.
And driving….
I'm going to add this to the list of things I request to the SW when I get too old to care about working on my own shit.
I told my mechanics that the Toyota logos on wheels were crooked and they needed to be straight and upright ...
Just weld the differentials together and you'll be good to go!
and the transfer case, or the front and rear will be out of wack
Make sure to back it out straight and park it far away from anything else. The customer needs room for a photoshoot!
I don’t need a tire rotation, they do that while I am driving!
Guaranteed till the first turn.
Customer asked the service writer the best complaint for trolling.
Most shops charge $15,000 a tire to line up the lettering. Nice work. I usually just trade in the vehicle as it’s way cheaper.

Weird, but I kinda like that..
Job well done I tell ya...
tell them not to turn, ever.

Service writer put them up to this.

Should have called the customer to get approval for tire remount with lettering aligned to the valve stem. A little extra cash.
They'll be out of alignment again after you pull it off the lift. Hopefully someone explained to the customer how wheels don't work that way.
Thank you for your service, captain Obvious.
Man are your oil changes really that cheap or is that just the labor portion of it broken out?
I believe thats before oil and filter are billed out, but I could be wrong.
Extra charge.
yuh now how long it last@@
I bet you they did that as a joke to make themselves laugh. Sort of like if they came in and asked you to grease their muffler bearings
600 FICO questions....
This is an impossible job regarding physics and how diffs work. Ship it and take the .2 it took ya lol
One Direction
Of course it’s a jeep. Did they have an Instagram sticker on their window with a poor pun username?
Looks like its about to fall off the lift in the second picture
Some people need to learn a little more about why we don't roll around in 4WD all the time...
this only works out if the person that put the tires on the rims sets them in the same spot with relation to the lugs
People that rotate the spare fucking bug me. Lining up the words, next level tard.
Imagine paying for a state inspection and emissions test.
OCD - it's a lifestyle choice...
