I took my recently purchased a 2010 Jeep Patriot to ship to my daughter in college in Florida. I wanted to ensure it was in tip top shape. I bought a discount coupon for RNR Tire Express from Groupon for a for an alignment, tire rotation, and nitrogen fill. The store was a drive from home, but it was a good deal and worth the trip..
The customer service was good upon arrival and the shop was clean, looked like they just opened up for business.
The alignment was good, no pulling and the steering wheel that was off center, was back to centered.
I assume the rotation was done.
Cons
Typically if a tire is filled with nitrogen, the valve caps are replaced with green caps. The original black caps were still on the wheels.
I did not notice until I got home that the car was missing 2 center caps. I called and was told that "they were hard to remove, that's why they weren't put back on". That just didn't make any sense. I went back to the store to retrieve them and they were broken. I get it, it's an older car and they were corroded and stuck to the rim. I worked on cars professionally for many years (long time back), I fully understand and was not upset they broke, just upset that nothing was said when I picked up the car and I had to drive back to get the old center caps.
A few days after the work was done I went to replace the front brakes and check and adjust the rear brakes. A few of the lug nuts came off easily with my impact, most had to be broken loose with my 30" breaker bar. there is a torque specification - 100 ft lbs - not "whatever" and just hold the impact trigger till it stops. I am sure glad my daughter wasn't on the side of the road with a flat tire trying to break the lug nuts loose with the OEM lug wrench. While I had the wheels off, I cleaned and torqued the lugs to spec. read more
