Years ago, I took my car in for its usual tune up and tire rotation, when it was done, they handed me the keys and told me it was out in the lot. I drove the car maybe 1,000 yards off the lot and had to pull over, there was a terrible sound of grinding metal. I turned around to took in back into the dealer. It seems that when they rotated the tires the mechanic did not tighten the lug nuts on one of the wheels. It took over a month to repair the damage it caused. This could have cause injury to me or someone else. Even though I have changed many tires in my life, when a professional tells me my car is ready to go, I don’t pop the hood and check the tires. Even though we are talking about a firearm you have to understand he was relying on someone he believed to be a professional.
