WTF did they do???

i went to my dealer today to get my oil changed and all that jazz. i asked them to rotate the tires also. i gave them my lug key and they said no problem. i left the car there and went on to school. now my car pulls to the right like a nascar in reverse... WTF? what could those idiots to to cause this... i would have rotated my own tires if i would have known it was that f.uckin hard for them to do.

it could be ur tires have irregular wear and rotating them caused the car to pull now. or they put a wheel on crooked...

right after a rotation the car is gonna handle differently
even if they rotated them recently, you could have lost a weight and the tire wore weird
i wouldnt worry too much for the first few days, if it lasts a while then have them check it out

When your car pulls to one side after a tire rotation its usually because a bad/defective tire was moved from the rear to the front. Since tires are guaranteed for this, take it to your dealer or tire shop and have them check the front tires out.
