You ask the dealership to do work, but complain about the manner in which the tech does it? If you don't want a scratch on it, buy your own tools and do it yourself. If it's a garage queen, then it won't matter if it takes you an hour to rotate 4 wheels. Then you only have yourself to blame when [b]you scratch 'em.

I wish I knew what folks did for a living, and could complain as loud about them making a mistake as some do about mechanics making a mistake.[/b]
Now wait a f-cking minute, with all due respect to you and the rest of the [good] mechanics who fix our cars, don't you think that when we bring our cars in to get fixed we should get them back without scratches? Hell, when I bring mine in, the idiot behind the counter goes around my truck twice to look for scratches so that they won't be held liable after I get it back. Do you really feel that when we get our vehicle servised it's ok to have a couple of scratches on it when we get it back? Personally, I wouldn't care about some minor shit like spin marks from the lug socket, but you're not approaching this very well. The truth is: the job can be done properly and if the mechanic can't do it properly, he shouldn't do it at all.
