I needed a tire rotation and I called Sears for a price on it and they said that if it is the Rotation alone, they do it for free!!!
The question: I have to drive about 20 miles one way to get to the Dealer and he still will charge me $20 for the rotation. So, is it safe to go to Sears and get the rotation done for free? Also since this is just a rotation, is there anything that they can mess up?
Thanks guys.

Well, if Sears going to rotate your tires for free, you could go try it. When I first got my Maxima, when it was time to rotate the tires, I brought it to Sears to rotate them. Didn't have any problems then. However, it was my stock rims and tires, I just wouldn't trust them or anyone with an aftermarket rims and tires. Btw, when I had my tires rotated by Sears, I remember they charged me for it. How you can you get it done for free? Maybe I got ripped?

. Now I have stock rims and tires and I am not expecting any problems out of this I am just trying to save time. Also, the charges and stuff varies from regions to region. I live in Charlotte, NC and a sears is 2 miles away for me and the dealer(where I go) is 20 miles away.

Maybe it's free if you bought the tires from them.
Maybe they think you did?
Did you?
And yes, you could rotate them yourself
but isn't it a bit of a pain without a lift?
Don't you need to keep putting the spare on and taking it off?
[And yeah, I'm saving up to have a lift put in my garage.
Just have to raise the whole house first.]

A jack and 2 jackstands is all you need to get all 4 tires off the floor.

I used TWO jacks. One in the front and one in the back (I used my Ford's jack) and rotated the tires myself for the very first time. I tightened the lugs as hard as I could with the stock tool that they give. Should I be concerned? Will my tires fall off???
