Is this the dealer in Madison ? If yes I may need to start going there instead in Davenport.

Good to hear. At least they are doing something for you. Let's hope the repair place does not have any hidden fees, like unmounting the tire and put it back on/balancing it.

Let us know how it all goes...

Good luck !!

The dealer is Summit Automotive (not a Toyota/Lexus dealer) out of Fond du Lac.
Initially they seemed reluctant. I mentioned all the things I've already done so far. The gentleman I talked to wondered why I didn't call back about the shocks then. I explained that those were wear parts and they weren't worn (as in not leaking) when I left the lot. He agreed pretty quickly after to send me the check.

The wheel repair place confirmed the charge is for dismount/mount/balance in addition to the actual fix. He says he's using the best Hunter equipment.
