Just make sure they use the torque chart and the specified torque bar

Thanks for the advice. However, at the local Sears store, they have some
staff members that don't seem to know what they are doing. I heard the guy
at the desk tell several customers to go to one of the local tire stores.
I went to the bays where they repair cars and noticed two employees taking
a break and no one working on the only car in the bay. They probably get
paid the same whether they service 20 cars during their shift or only 5
cars. This is also true for the guy at the counter and he might be
involved in some sort of plan with the workers to reduce the work load by
referring customers to local tire stores.

Thanks for the advice. However, at the local Sears store, they have some
staff members that don't seem to know what they are doing. I heard the guy
at the desk tell several customers to go to one of the local tire stores.
I went to the bays where they repair cars and noticed two employees taking
a break and no one working on the only car in the bay. They probably get
paid the same whether they service 20 cars during their shift or only 5
cars. This is also true for the guy at the counter and he might be
involved in some sort of plan with the workers to reduce the work load by
referring customers to local tire stores.
