I’m sorry to post this here & you guys as admin‘s can delete this after the fact but I need a quick answer and this seems to be the most popular thread. Getting an oil change and tire rotation right now on my wife’s 20 Durango and they snapped a stud that the Lugnuts attach to. Wanting to charge $172 to replace the stud $125 for the stud itself plus the half hour labor and said it’s not covered under warranty. Are the studs considered a wearable item then? I plan on pushing back on the service manager but haven’t got to that point yet. Thanks in advance!
Edit: Dealer says studs are considered wearable item per warranty contract. I used to do my own service but simply don’t have the time anymore so been using dealer & also easier to keep records this way. Feeling like I’ll figure out how to make time to start doing sh*t myself again. I already know what likely happened - they broke the lugs free with the impact or torqued them back on instead of breaking or tightening by hand.
