Sullivan Tire Plymouth AVOID IT

On September 9th i had my oil change, tires rotated and wheels balanced.

First they did the o/c and rotation, but when i watched and saw the wheels werent balanced i asked them. He said yes, i said ok which was worse, i dont mean to be a bitch, but which one was worse, so the 17 year old barely balls dropped mechanic comes out and says oh no i didnt see it on the sheet. They brought back in.

On the 10th i noticed a knocking the car.....thinking ball joints, i let go for we dont have the $$.

Yesterday on the way to Pembroke the knocking got so bad the car wobbled. I was a wreck, pulled over to see if a flat.....nope, breaks werent smoking or stuck. I continued on very slowly.

BP WAS OBVIOUSLY UP.

Brought to mechanic after visit, 4 of the 5 lug nuts on the front driver tire were only hand screwed on. ONLY ONE BOLT HELD THIS TIRE ON FOR 3 weeks.

Ken, put back on n/c and made sure the rest were ok. I prayed the whole way there and he said it worked b/c you should have lost your tire MILES AGO! THANK YOU GOD for protecting me.

So i called Sullivan tire, told them very diplomatically (i'd calmed down by this point and was more THANKFUL that nobody or my car was hurt) and the guy said i hope this doesnt deter you from coming here again.. I couldnt reply. I was floored that after forgetting to rotate once, last time forgetting to balance and now THIS........does he seriously think i will go there or tell me friends.

So i now have 3,000 miles to figure out where to get oil changes, tire rotations without being paranoid they wont put the lug nuts on.

ANY SUGGESTIONS OF PLACES?????
