Default There is wisdom in what he asks

Granted, the question could have been phrased better, but that aside I would look for the wisdom in the statement if I were you. Unless there is someone at Pepboys that you know and trust, find someone at another store that you do. The dealer is a good place to start, but is not a guarantee.<p>The vibration could be balance, bent wheels, runout, out of round tires, brakes, etc. Put the car on a lift with the car running in gear and watch the wheels to see if everything is straight. (I take no responsibility for whether you do this safely or not)<p>Also, please write the message in the text - not the header!!!!<p>Todd W

I will never forgive you for taking me to Pep Boys, I thought you cared about me? I don't think we should see each other anymore.

Default Bring car back to Larry, Moe & Curly and have them redo wheel balancing

From my experience, this is wheel balancing and NOT alignment. Sounds like they didn't do as careful a wheel balance as they should have. Make sure you ask for a "dynamic" balancing.

Default Did your new wheels have any type of inner ring?

From what I remember, some new wheels have some sort of ring placed on the inside for proper offsets(?? I think). If so, the ring may not be seated properly.<p>Just a thought <br>Amro
