Glad I was there!!
So I went to my Lexus dealership this morning to get my first oil change (I had 3000 miles btw). I told them I wanted my 5k service and I was going to wait for it. I ended up walking around back to see what was going on with my car. I got there just in time to see the mechanic putting the lug nuts on the back wheel. I figured he rotated them, but i knew that to rotate our tires, you need to take them off the rim. So i took a closer look and he was putting the front wheels on the back of the car!!! I told him that they are different size tires, and he was like what are you talking about. Then he read the side of the tires and was like "oh, you can't rotate these, you'll need new tires in 10k miles." You would think that a certified Lexus tech would know that the back wheels are a different size especially if it's right in front of their face.

Holy sh(o)t you got to be kidding, at Lexus that is never suposed to happen. I wouldn't want that mechanic touching my car. Whats he on drugs, I know sombody called in sick and they needed a mechanic fast and found sombody walking down the street.
