A customer at a Columbus, Ohio tire shop left his dash cam turned on while having his Porsche 996 Turbo aligned – and if the gratuitous display of his car being driven across the grass wasn’t enough, the employees have some choice words for the owner and his choice of vehicle.

Not sure in what universe the customer becomes a villain because he was trying to save a few bucks. The bottom-line is when I give you money for a job I have a reasonable expectation to you doing your best. The video simply shows that people tend not to treat your property as well as they should.
Maybe living in LA I am a bit numb to this but is driving a 911 that big of a deal? You do not have to be uber rich to own one by any means. -997 driver
1. YouTubing this clip will point out the quality of this place's service. 2. Don't go back--ever. 3. Advise your friends not to go there--ever. 4. Let their bad work be their advertisement. When I run into something like this, I make sure everybody I know learns about it. On the other hand, I'm quite happy with letting my 'enemies' go there any time they want. Karma, you know?
The clip is now removed, so I can't watch it or comment on the technicians' behavior. But in most tire shops, they'll upsell the alignment at the time of the tire sale, offering some sort of wear and cupping warranty. So I'm sure the salesman made a $1000 tire sale then offered the Porsche owner the alignment/warranty package (which is mostly pure profit for the tire shop). The owner took the deal, now the shop has to do the alignment. And do an alignment check and adjustment every time the car is back for service. Blame shop's tire sale/alignment upsell practices, not the car owner.
