Guideline on Buying Tires Wheel Balancing and the Performance of Your Car | Page 13

 The mechanics might fail to rebalance your wheels after repairs. A chalk mark on the tire
next to the valve stem is frequently a dead giveaway
 The tire shop might upsell you by forcing you to buy new tires when your current ones can
be easily repaired
 The shop might lie about the state of your car and end up providing expensive and
unnecessary repairs
 The dealership might fail to inform you about applicable rebates on your new tires
 Auto repair insurance scams range from claiming excessive supplies to claiming parts that
go into someone else’s vehicle
 Auto repair warranty scams usually take the form of falsified extended warranty claims
especially when there is no one to verify that the claimed repairs actually took place
