Dealer Tech incompetence or silly mistake

So I brought in my car to this dealer for the very first time. Get this, they rotated my G35S tires and placed the smaller tires at the back and the bigger ones at the front? WTF. I only really noticed it when I got home and read the invoice. I'm wondering if the tech even notice the car has a staggered setup and not an all wheel drive model like the vast majority of G35 I saw in the service lot. I'm taking it back first thing tomorrow morning and I better not hear we can't do it today. First and last time I'm visiting that dealer. Who knows, maybe they even placed the smaller tires on the bigger wheel.

That should not even be possible. The wheels have key so they can only mount to the correct location. They do this to avoid sheer incompetence. They would have to remove the bolt and stand-off from the rotors that prevent the wheels from being installed incorrectly.

actually it happened to my car also, but it was discount tires.

but if you look at the rims, you can see one rim is wider than the other one.

Ya,, they usually send it off to the kid, or gopher,, to do stuff like this,,, look at your car and rims carefully,,, make sure they didn't screw up other stuff, or scratch, or what ever.....

WTF. Do not take your car there anymore. I can imagine what they do with the engine.
