Default New Tire Experience...

Finally needed new front tires a month ago. They seemed a little hard to come by at the time, but I found a pair and had them installed along with alignment etc... Fast forward... come to find out that the the left and right wheels were swapped at time of tire install, which meant that the DIC was monitoring my left tire as right and vise versa. Having zero confidence in the tire dealer who sold and installed the (hard to find) tires at the time, I took the car back to the dealer to have the TPS's re-programmed. Well, they chared me $95.00 to do that... But hey, it's only money and I'm doing my part to keep the "illegals" employed and out of the shadows and their employer's in the black here in Southern California; whatever... Anyhow, the new brakes that were installed at the time of my new front tires have been squealing like hellllll... t'hey replaced them once and still the same... OK... time to cut this thread short. What I,m asking is why is it so damn hard to find competant service these days?
