Everytime I go to one, they end up overloading my tires. My SUV drove rough and I could feel every little imperfections on the road, so when I checked the PSI, it was 45! The correct PSI for my car is listed inside the door jam and it's 26!!!!!!!
This always happens whichever tire shop I go to. Do they hire anyone with an IQ over 100?

Is your IQ over 100? if you want a smooth ride, buy a car, not an SUV. The max PSI for you tires is located on the tire. The door jamb pressure is not accurate. Do you remember a few years back when tires on Explorers were exploding? Part of the problem was under-inflation. People wanted a smoother ride so they put less air in their tires. Also... you get better gas mileage if they are inflated properly to the specs on the tire. I used to change tires for a living, so before you go insulting people, try getting ALL of the facts.

Check your tires for the proper PSI, since the tires you now have may not be the ones that came with the car when it was new. As for the mentality of the tire changers, its hard, dirty and often disgusting work. It is hard to hire real good people for this type of work. But you get what you pay for. If you want the more reliable type mechanic working on your car, take it to a dealership or a top of the Line tire store, just be prepared to pay more.

I experience the same problem when I take my vehicle in for repair. I drive an SUV also, but for any vehicle, I think it's very important that each tire is set to the correct PSI.
If the shop is too busy to check for the correct PSI, you'd think they would know that 45 is way too high for the average family-usage vehicle.

Hey, it don't take a lot of smarts to operate an air wrench and a tire mounting machine. Don't expect Einstein to be working on car tires for minimum wage.
However, check out the side of your tires. My 20" tires recommend 41 psi, and I thought all car tires were supposed to be 32 psi. And what the tire says supercedes what your car door says.

Don't rely on the door jamb...look on the tire itself for it's maximum inflation pressure. Aftermarket tires are often different pressure than standard or stock tires from the dealership.
Why are they retards? Look at the hiring criteria - highschool diploma or GED is all thats required. Most shop-class dropouts wind up at Jiffy Lubes and tire centers lol

For maximum tire life you should inflate to specs. on tires. As for them being "Retards", why don't you quit being a "Crack-Head" and tell them what you would like the pressure set at? Apparently you have an I.Q. issue as well.

they are actually smarter than you think. If you over inflate a tire it wears-out faster and you buy new tires faster.
