My roomate, which is female, told me her tire was slowly going flat. Well i just had reconstructive surgery on my shoulder last month and obviously couldn't put her spare on for her.
I told her my friend from work was coming over to do it for her but she decided to take it to walmart and have them look @ it. Now remember this is a SLOW leak.
Walmart said she had to buy a new tire because they can't plug on the side of the tire so she drove back home and my friend took the tire off and we put soap & water on it to find the leak.
There was a small screw in the tire that was almost sealing itself and it was in the treads not on the side. I was outraged that walmart told her she needed to buy a new tire.
The next day we slightly deflated two of the tires (& marked them) on my truck and drained out some power steering fluid (which we checked for prior leaks and found none) and took it to walmart. I must say walmart is not even a mile from our house!
I told them it was starting to get hard to steer and to see if they could check my tires that were low.
WOULD YOU BELIEVE THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW POWER STEERING UNIT AND 2 NEW TIRES!!! I couldn't believe and I demanded to speak w / the supervisor.
I told the supervisor about the situation and what they did to my roomate. Needless to say walmart paid for the plug job for my roomates car and for the mechanic being so dishonest and crooked&I'm sure the guy's standing in the unemployment line.
