Tire Store Strips Out Three Tire Lug Bolts on my 1990 240 DL Estate (Wagon) on a Four Wheel Spin Balance

I never let other people work on my cars. The last time, I was stranded 300 miles from home, -15F with a bitter north wind and a dead fuel pump. Got to pay $600 for a cheap noisy fuel pump. And the fitting at the filter (also replaced) was leaking. Ahem. Where was I ? Oh yes...

I would take the wheel off and see what the damages actually are before getting too worried about the hub.

Since the tire shop have proven themselves to be incompetent, they may have misdiagnosed the problem. More likely the nuts and/or studs are ruined. If the hole in the hub is damaged you might see if NAPA has a stud with an oversized knurl / spline, or a stud for a different application with a slightly larger spline, but the same thread.

Common sense would say that the tire shop is responsible for the damage so you won't get anything from them. Sorry.
