Tire place put tires in wrong place...suspension workshop error after...
So I just had a local place (merchant tire) put on 4 new tires for my e55.
I had ordered Nitto Invo's 275/35/18 for the rear and 245/40/18 for the front
They finished the car at 8pm tonight, so I went to pick it up 20 minutes later.
I'm driving home and the car kept going to the right with the steering wheel straight. Get home and notice that my driver side front tire looked a lot fatter.
Upon inspection, they put a 275 up front and the 245 as the passenger rear.
Call them up around 8:50, they say sorry come back asap we will fix this
Guy remounts both mismatched tires and I get in my car to leave. Gives me 3 free oil change cards and tells me to give them to my friends as they don't even change oil on any Mercedes cars. Wow.
Look at my dash and I have the air suspension "Visit Workshop" message with the arrow pointing up. Took a pic and left as the tech was gone.
What could have gone wrong and thoughts on what I should do next?

Again, real mature. That is, unless you want to pay for my second fuel pump/sender assembly? Didn't think so. So when you find fuel in your rear seat, don't come here and say 'pump leaked dealer charged me $XXXX.XX'

One or more of your air bags are leaking..slowly...when jacking up the car to put on the tires..it deflated and the pump work hard trying to level itself after the service.. therefore the warning light went on..
