This happened many years ago. I had replaced the left front wheel bearings and repacked and inspected the ones on the left in November. Sometime in the winter the car started making a "thumpa, thumpa, thumpa" sound - obvious tire belt separation. I took it to a Sears auto place and left it while we had dinner and shopping. Came back and they had repacked the wheel bearings, but the old tires were still on the car. "All finished" the guy said. I drove it around the parking lot and the sound and bumping ride were still there. I raised hell with the guy and he said, "Well, it may need new tires but it needed the wheel bearings packed too." I told him also needed new seat covers, but I brought it in to have the f^#% tires changed. I went around and around with the manager. He wouldn't give me the keys until I paid. I drove across the parking lot to the Firestone place and had them change the tires in full view of the Sears guys.
