Walmart must hire all the employees no one else will take. I went there for them to swap my tires from my winter wheels to my summer wheels and drove out of there with a major wobble, had to go to tirecraft to get them rebalanced, didn't bother to go back to complain they seemed handicapped to start out with, my mistake - sort of :s lol

Im reading this and i have to call BS on the op. Walmart has cameras all over the shop to monitor fraud. 1 camera under the hood and 1 camera under the truck for each bay. Walmart doesnt argue with the customer. They are too big for that. They refund your money or have you fill out a claim for insurance. Then they are done with it. You would no longer deal with walmart you would deal with there insurance company CMI. How do I know? Because I have had to deal with them for a service shop blunder.

That's exactly what the ins. company asked for was the footage. They saw the guy break it, ask for help, them play with it, then came to tell me. I don't know how you manage to break a dipstick tube?????? Some people are just accident proned. I literally went to junkyard trying to break one and I did. I grabbed the tube like I was pissed and and just pulled and twisted and POP. The only logical explanation.

For future reference it is a dealer part only that's not kept in stock. I'm in Charlotte NC and the only one in stock in the southeastern US then was in TN between Nashville and Memphis. Luckily the shop ordered 2 and left me with an extra one at no change to the price.

I talked to my landlord and told him the story and negotiated as long as I don't cause him fines and clean up he would be fine with it. Isn't it funny how oil technically comes from the ground but if you spill it you have to clean dirt lmao lmao lmao(science behind it is more advanced I know)

Walmart left the hood open/loose on my F150, and somehow manage to loosen up my the bug reflector on my hood. They also said our new Grand Vitara had a leak. The supposed leak left our vehicle in the shop for a whole day, and the mechanic at the dealership went to Walmart personally to inform them they needed an eye exam.

Well there's your problem right there.

Ive heard of people going in for a tire rotation and walk out needing to buy new studs b/c they stripped the lugs. Tires falling off when leaving...yes off because the lugs were not tight. Oil not being put back in after an oil change. Filters stripped....how the F do you strip a filter. Oil plugs being stripped, and all of this never once heard of Wal-Mart fixing it or making it right. I wouldn't let the monkeys get within 50ft of my truck.
