Raptorpat Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I might not be too far behind you. The last time I was getting routine service done they tried to talk me into a realignment after I had already been sitting in the waiting room for two hours longer than they projected, and now I apparently have three slow leaks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already knew my tires were in shit shape. I hadn't had proper alignment done in years, so it wore the tires prematurely, but fortunately it had warranty on it. Got four new tires for fifty percent off because of my irresponsibilty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotating your tires five times before needing new ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1pooh4u Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Welcome to being an old af adult, where things like new tires, realignments and tire rotations excite you. I don’t drive. I knew I arrived at that level when the purchase of a foot pedal garbage can was exciting to me 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBluntsworth Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) As a former alignment neglecter, I once did a 6 hour drive with my previous car and for a little while I thought the road just started getting bumpy, but by the last hour of this trip the car was increasingly wobbling so bad it felt like all the wheels were about to pop off bc it was so out of alignment. I was going like 55 on the interstate bc it was making noises and shaking and like grinding sounds and the idea of pushing 70 just felt like it would destroy the car. Immediately got 4 new tires and an alignment and it was like new. Edited August 13, 2022 by NewBluntsworth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
