[QUOTE="SwollenRaccoon, post: 1408463, member: 19178"] I had the same thing happen 25 years ago. Bought tires, and the shop offered free rotation and balance for the life of the tires. "Great!" thought my ignorant self. Well, after one bout of disc resurfacing and then disc replacement, I finally figured out why the discs warped after rotation. Duh. Ever since, I take the wheels off the car myself if they need balancing, and torque them correctly. Guess what? No more warped rotor issues (other than mileage/age/pad replacement time). Pretty sure most shops do that knowing that people that don't know any better will come back to them for brake work. I know the impact driver is fast, but it's not the right tool for that job.
