It necessary for a shop to test drive a car after getting new tires mounted and balanced? That was the extent of the work done.

well they gotta shift it from the bay to the parking lot, that should be sufficient to see that the wheels dont fall off. I'd vote no need, and not standard practice at any wheel/tyre place.

NO (simple answer)

Totally necessary. How else are they going to know if they failed before the top speed they're rated for.

It depends on the car. Corolla? No. Raptor? Hellcat? ZR1? U bet is necessary. I mean wouldn't u?

S2000, so that's where my train of thought was heading as well.

That was my thought, and the fact that he came back all smiles and didn't mention a thing about how it ran also made me curious (sad.)

Why would a tire shop "test drive" a car after a balance and new tires? YOU do it. If it shakes or vibrates, take it back and have them check their work.

O man I got so close to driving one of those. I had the keys in my hand and gave them back. I had had a couple beers or 10.

Good call, they drive like civics at first to suck you in, but if you forget their nature, they will snap at you, and hard too.
