My local Jeep service floor is actually really good. But there are a bunch of shops within 30 miles I would not let get near my Jeep.

I second the poster who recommended the JKS. Teraflex has the Monster so JKS should call theirs Mr. Beefy

Most service departments blow like a hurricane force wind. I had a similar problem here....tried to charge me $600 for front and rear diff fluid change, when I did not ask for it, or did not require it.

Yep...I laughed in the service writer's face when they quoted me something similar for diff change. I did it myself, with royal purple for less than $80.

Luckily I trust my service center for the most part.

I just got back from having my tires balanced. it seems the tech used an impact wrench on my locking lug nuts.. I ended up breaking the key trying to loosen them
Brought it into the dealer and they said it took over 2 techs and thier strongest impact wrench to remove them. The tech said it was torqued past 400 ft lbs of torque (may of been exargerating) then they go on to say there is no way they could of tightened them that much and refuse to give me a new set of locking lug nuts.. what the hell would i of done if i actually had a flat tire, esp if i was on the trail

i never have luck at dealers.. my stupid k13 fender trim took me 5 trips to get it fully resolved

Damn ... I never take my Jeeps to a dealer for tire rotation. Take it somewhere like Big O Tires where you can stand there and supervise every move. I aways make sure they use a breaker bar and socket... high impact air tools should never be used on the wheels and studs.
