youll find some good wrenches and knowledgable techs at some dealerships , you will also find guys just starting out . and guess what they do...... services .next time tell them what you want your tires adjusted to or better yet , trust no one and do it yourself

IME I've found pretty much all dealers and tire shops over-inflate the tires, I've always had to go back and let air back out whenever I get tires mounted.

They always inflate to manufacturer specs. Must be a legal/liability thing.

What does the tag on the door jamb list for PSI? They might have set it to max on sidewall.

Anytime someone touches my car other than me, it's cause for my own safety-check. Is there oil in the motor? Are the wheels actually bolted on? Did they mess with my tire pressure?

Thats a cheap and inexpensive way to find out about your dealership. I would double check the repairs they did to your Jep and steer clear of them in the future

Yep, I went in for a belt and locked up idler pulley, after they fixed it they filled my washer fluid (thanks fellas) but never checked/added antifreeze it was a gallon low and I had to use my $31/gallon Mopar antifreeze.

They also didn't hook up the cold air intake right either, the tube to the box was folded under so it was letting in unfiltered air.

It's a shame when you go to the "best of the best" and you get work that any corner garage can do. Thankfully it was under warranty and I didn't pay for a half @ss job.
