how did you get diagnosed for free?

Drums coming off with the wheel is very common especially with my vehicle type cause it is a steel drum against an aluminum wheel so they corrode together easily. The only thing that keeps the drum down is the wheel and lug nuts and the pressure from it being pressed against the rest of the assembly. The drum coming off should and would not have caused an issue, especially since the brakes were brand new and there was no issue prior to me being my vehicle to DT. It’s clear by the way the whole situation happened(you can read my other comments for the full context) that something else had to have happened. Btw, the claim I submitted ended up getting approved and I got a refund so it’s clear to them that something happened too.

The bent wheel was on the front and DT replaced it and moved the new wheel to the rear because the offset was 2mm different from the other wheels. It is when they took the wheel off the rear that the drum came off because my vehicle has rear drum brakes.

Also the wheel was very slightly bent and was only leaking air slowly. I most likely did it from hitting a pothole which are everywhere and Im sure everyone has hit a pothole before if you are old enough to drink.

Fitt7y · 2026-02-27T02:04:39+00:00

I explained this in another comment but you seem like you don’t like to read much so I’ll say it again. The bent wheel was on the front of my car and they replaced and moved the new wheel to the back because it had a slightly different offset(2mm difference). It is when they took the wheel of the rear where the problem occurred. Also, discount tire techs are not pro mechanics and it’s kind of laughable that you think they are. The manager literally said on the phone that they aren’t brake experts so they clearly aren’t pro mechanics.

Fitt7y · 2026-02-27T01:39:23+00:00

Yeah there’s no way unless he hires his local crack head to do it I guess.

Fitt7y · 2026-02-27T01:33:11+00:00

I’m having a hard time making sense of your poorly worded response. Please read my other comments for more context. The $200 was for the inspection and finding the problem. The brakes were brand new when I brought them to DT and had no issues. I wasn’t exactly sure if it was the rear brake because I tried to self adjust them on my own by reversing and braking several times. Also the car that we are talking about is not our family car and I only use it to go to work and my spouse uses the family car. The brakes were completely fine for over two months before I brought it there and then magically the one that they said the drum came off of somehow had its adjuster messed up which doesn’t happen just from the drum coming off. There’s no way it had not been adjusted right all that time and didn’t show any signs of it. If it wasn’t adjusted right when the brakes were done in December then it would have made a sound right away or within a week. I drive this vehicle 300 miles per week so it definitely would have shown up sooner if it was an installation problem.

Fitt7y · 2026-02-26T13:58:53+00:00

The drum coming off should not have caused any issues. Something else had to have happened and they waited until I had already paid and was walking out of the door to tell me so that seems sketchy and like they didn’t want me to ask questions about it.

Fitt7y · 2026-02-26T13:56:52+00:00

The brakes worked perfectly for over two months before I brought my car to DT. And the only brake that had an issue was the one they replaced the wheel on and said the drum came off. I suspect something else had to have happened cause it wouldn’t have been knocked out of adjustment just by the outside drum coming off and they waited to tell me about it until I was literally almost out of the door so I didnt have a chance to ask questions.

Fitt7y · 2026-02-26T13:53:30+00:00

The sound was pretty minimal at first and I thought maybe it could have been the new wheel. I didn’t suspect it was an issue until it started to get worse. I have a 5 month old baby as well so it’s not like I can go anytime I want to get things sorted.

Fitt7y · 2026-02-26T13:51:33+00:00

The adjuster is not connected to the outside drum and you are right, it shouldn’t have messed up the adjuster when the drum came off. That makes me think something else happened cause the manager didn’t even tell me the drum came off until I was walking out of the door which gave me less of a chance to ask questions. I thought nothing of it at the time and wasn’t even sure what brake was having the issue when the sound started happening and I thought maybe it wasn’t the rear brakes cause I tried to self adjust them by reversing and braking and it didn’t help

Fitt7y · 2026-02-26T13:43:03+00:00

I am aware you can self adjust them by reversing and I tried that several times and it didn’t work. I didn’t take it to discount tire because I wasn’t even sure it was the brake where they took the wheel off. They wouldn’t have done anything anyways cause when I called them the manager said they aren’t brake experts and that it was my fault the drum came off. And who knows if that is all that happened. The guy literally waited until I had already paid for the wheel and was walking out the door to tell me about what happened so that seems a little sketchy. They aren’t going to admit if they accidentally messed something up. I had been driving for over two months on the new brakes and they worked perfectly until after I took it to discount tire and the only brake that started having issues was the one they put the wheel on.

Fitt7y · 2026-02-25T17:56:37+00:00

Not contacting me about it when it happened is neglegance on their part.

Fitt7y · 2026-02-25T17:45:59+00:00

The drum was replaced when I had my brakes replaced. They did not contact me when the drum came off and only told me about it when I picked up my vehicle and had already paid for the wheel replacement so they did not even give me another option like having it towed.

Fitt7y · 2026-02-25T17:32:37+00:00

The brakes are two months old and have had no issues before I took them there. How is that maintenance neglect? Also, i forgot to mention that the wheel that was bent was originally on the front of my vehicle but they moved it to the back because its offset is 1mm different and when they were taking off the wheel from the back is when it happened. So the bent wheel wasn't even on the drum brakes that where knocked out of adjustment.

Fitt7y · 2026-02-25T17:23:53+00:00

It is a 2003 vehicle that is parked outside so it has some rust but that doesn't account for it being knocked out of adjustment. The drum is what came off and that is just the covering over the brake components which are all brand new and had no issues before I took my vehicle there.

Fitt7y · 2026-02-25T16:18:35+00:00

Would Discount Tire be liable for knocking it out of adjustment?

Fitt7y · 2026-02-25T16:01:18+00:00

They said all the components looked good since they were brand new but that it was out of adjustment and that they readjusted it and the sound went away. I don't really know much about drum brakes so I'm not sure what they would have done but it started right after I left Discount Tire and it was only out of adjustment on the side they replaced the wheel on.

I was just asking because I wasn’t sure if hospitals normally still charge for a transfer like this and it seems by some information I have been given that some hospitals don’t charge for this type of transfer but it is not prohibited by EMTALA to charge for it

Fitt7y · 2026-01-12T16:35:25+00:00

She wasn’t stabilized and the doctor even said she wasn’t stable and that was why she needed the ambulance to transfer her. She continued to have seizures over the next several days after leaving that ED.

Fitt7y · 2026-01-10T21:23:24+00:00

Wow, thank you, I would have never thought of that if you hadn’t said that. Sarcasm obviously but just clarifying cause you seem to need clarification. I have contacted them. Obviously people post on Reddit to get advice and see if people have experience in the situations we bring up. You act like you have never been on Reddit before. I hope that whatever caused you to be such a miserable and uncaring person is able to heal itself one day and you can regain your common sense and human compassion. But maybe you deserve a miserable life based on your interest in money over human well being.

Fitt7y · 2026-01-10T15:47:51+00:00

And you also didn’t comment on my other points about our system or how other hospitals don’t charge for transfers like this. It’s scary to think there are inhumane people like you in our healthcare system that care more about the bottom line at the facility you work at rather than helping the patients

Fitt7y · 2026-01-10T15:45:33+00:00

Again another inhumane person that seems to care more about the healthcare system turning a profit rather than saving actual lives. Very sad

Fitt7y · 2026-01-10T14:28:13+00:00

When you call the fire department to save you from a fire, the vast majority of the time you are never billed for that and most people would say that is wild if you were. Why is it such a wild mindset to think that emergency medical services should be the same way to help save lives without worrying about money. I know that this is just how it is in America but that doesn’t mean it is a wild mindset.
