Whoa there Action Jackson.

It was a free inspection. You got what you paid for.

You were driving on underinflated tires before you came in. . . if you'd taken a curve and rolled it would have been your own fault. Don't make this a bigger deal than what it is.

Vote with the dollars you don't spend at that dealership. . .

Lemme play devil's advocate for a minute. . .

You think the dealership tech. . .what. . . let air out of your tires? Or perhaps he was sloppy enough to release up to 14 psi per tire during pressure checking?

What sort of motivation would they have for doing that? Maybe make your tires wear out a few thousand miles sooner so in 3 years when you come back for your next free multipoint inspection they can say "hey, lookit, you need tires!"

I understand your concerns but to an outside observer this sounds like it would be coming from someone who keeps locks on their flour and sugar and wears a tinfoil hat.

Maybe I'm mistaken and some zitfaced, wet-behind-the-ears n00b greasemonkey actually did let some air out of your tires and sent you down the road that way. . . just doesn't sound like the sort of thing any dealership would do any more than they'd drain some oil or trans fluid out on the hopes you'd frag your trans or engine and come limping back in begging for it to be fixed.

Either way, save the nail spitting for the next time you get an IRS audit.
