I told the manager of a Grismer Tire store in Dayton to tell a mechanic to get his hands off of my truck and keep them off.
They were changing tires and a rear wheel stud broke off. It happens. Of course you need to remove the brake drum. I looked out the window from the waiting room and the idiot was out there whaling away on my truck with a 4 pound sledge hammer, hitting the spring, the axle, and maybe the backing plate for all I could tell. I told the manager to tell the moron to quit beating on my truck and he gave me some BS about, "You see sir, he has to take the drum of blah, blah, blah..." I told him again to tell the guy to stop. When he just looked at me I went to the door and yelled at the guy to stop beating on my truck. He stopped and looked at me and I told him, "Put the f&^% hammer down and stop beating on my truck!"
We had a confab, with them trying to tell me the only way to get a brake drum off was to beat the hell out of it and me telling them that's not the way to do it and if they don't have anyone here who knows how to take the brake drum off of a Toyota to put the damn thing on the ground and I'll take it home and do it myself. They said something about can't let you drive off with a lug nut missing and I got ready to call the sheriff.
I eventually got the keys to my truck and took it home and replaced the lug bolt without violence or damage to anything. I was ready to visit the general manager and tell him what a bunch of morons he has for mechanics and managers but, I cooled down and but cooled down and never did follow up.
