Air filter I do myself more frequently. It's hard to describe the steering at speed - it's a wiggle that is not always there, i.e., not tied to the rotation of the tire, it's not a tire out of balance, and the weird wear means alignment was part of the deal. I AM glad they did not try to sell me on a pre-need brake job. However, they were off on the tires by 20% (I remeasured and Discount remeasured)and so their other measurements are suspect in my eyes.

If you don't do the factory required maintenance and keep records, your warranty may not be honored. The 30K on the Stang includes a fuel filter and air filter, as well as some more in-depth inspections. Also, alignment issues doesn't cause vibrations but should be performed with tire replacement. Rear brakes at 6mm is not even half worn, I think they come with 10mm new. If you wore 4mm in 30K miles and have 6mm left, do the math-not the brakes. You might want to talk to a Manager because of some rushed schmuck on the service drive isn't doing his job correctly. You might want to finish your 30K outline in your manual.
