I'm writing this here, as the Les Schwab web page allows for no email contact. Perhaps they'll see it here and make modifications. I'm a retired 30-year master tech and college auto instructor. I recently had tires put on at LS Caldwell, ID. After taking them back for rebalance to no avail, I took the car to LS, Nampa. They found one new tire out-of-round. Since they didn't have any of that model I again had it replaced at Caldwell. They again balanced them in error, which Nampa then finally fixed. The Caldwell tech tried to tell me I had a bent wheel. Not only are their machines at Caldwel out of calibration, but their training is faulty. Never put the full weight of the vehicle on the wheels to torque the studs. It bends them and strips the threads. I didn't see one guy with his safety glasses actually over his eves. OSHA would have a field day with that one. They have serious management and training problem at Caldwell, ID. Severely out-of-balance wheels can blow the tire, the bearing and create rollover and death! Beware.
