Wife just came home from Sears had her "free" tire rotation.Said car drove funny all way home,made squealing sounds when cornering or braking.I looked at car and noticed rear tires were VERY MUCH toed out at bottom,in at tops. Stand back and looked at car ,it almost looks humorous(if it wasn't mine). What did they do???? Sears is closed so couldn't call...????? Help Please.

It seems that those sears people would be better off doing something else!

Have you tried to tighten the five or six bolts on each tires? Or checked the torque?
If you have a jack and two pairs of jack stands, you can jack your car up, and redo the rotation job. From the picture, it looks like the tires are not tight enough resulting in your tires wobbling when your wife is driving. If this is the case, there is definitely a safety issue on top of the damages that will result if left un-fixed! Make sure you get that fixed and don't drive the car until it is done.

I would also talk to sears. What if a tire had come off when your wife was driving back home.
