| Instillation of a right rear wheel bearing continues to remain uncorrected after four separate followup visits to black's tire. the noise sounds unssafe and occurs exactly two days after they have re-checked the vehicle. i am convinced that they are unaware on how to correct the problem since its still exists and presents a problem of safety, yet i was charged for parts and labor. i need to know how to proceed with this complaint to either have my money refunded or have the problem corrected somewhere else and the bill charged to black's tires.it correctthe. *ak | |||
