Default a day in the life of a tire store assistant manager

well we had this guy come in saying he has a HORRIBLE vibration on the freeway

we did the first step and went to balance a tire one tire was asking for like almost a lb of weight

we felt a rattle so we busted the tire down to inspect

and found this in his tire

I repair automotive equipment for a living (tire changers, balancers, lathes, fluid flush equipment) and I have had some of the employees show me some crazy stuff they have run into but that takes the cake by far. WTF were they putting on tires in the dark and left there"surgical tool" inside, lololol.
