For whatever reason they always seem to hire those with the lowest IQ's. I've also always loved how they put the really expensive and really loud testing equipment uncovered and unprotected... in the waiting rooms. All kinds of win :yelclap:
The reason for the aftermarket wheels thing is because even after having customers sign a waiver and explaining to them that those metal restraints on the dyno can damage rims with low profile tires people would still try and make Air Care pay for damaged wheels. That's why most stations will insist that you have stock wheels on the tires going onto the dyno rollers.
You notice they don't use a bunch of ratchet straps to secure the vehicle like you see at tuner shops. It takes to long (could you imagine the wait if they did) so those metal restraints are about all you've got. FWD cars can be very loose and squirrelly, especially with alignment issues. Try working there, it's a shit job and only pays 8$ an hour. Part of why you don't get the brightest crayons working there. It's loud, hot in the summer, freezing in the winter, most customers bitch you out and treat you like shit as if it's your fault they have to be there, you're in a constant hurry because the station will get fined if the wait time exceeds a certain limit, and you don't get paid shit.
