-typical loose lugs 'free air check' that means you'll wind up with missing caps on your valve stems, things like that.

Ours refused to balance wife's Land Rover tires because one had a plug. Basically demanded we buy new tires.
I always get a kick out of the long line at the "Free" air check station. People get in their vehicles after a cold snap, which here is 60 degrees, so naturally the TPMS goes off. Then they drive MILES to the Discount Tire heating up the tires which raises the PSI. Then the guy puts air in the warmed up tire up to the recommended PSI. I'm guessing the next day they are still wrong PSI after the tires go cold.
Which brings up another point: most of my vehicles require one PSI in front and another PSI in rear. Regardless of how many times I say it and it gets placed on the service ticket, the PSI is almost always at Max for the tires and not what is on the B Pillar of the car, let alone what is written on the service ticket.
