A Royal PITA

[peterzs]

What a horrid story, makes you wonder if its all down to the first garage's bad workmanship.

Lucky the tyre guy spotted it, think I would have shaken his hand.

When I had my clutch done, went to pick it up, found the garage owner filing the threads on one of the wheel studs. Too quick on the air tools, dont even bother to start the nuts off.

This stripping of threads bugs the hell out of me, there is no need for it. As Pete said it just shows they use a gun all the time. The worst mechanics always do. I knew one who would use an air ratchet all of the time regardless of what he was doing.
