The tires were replaced after the struts and shocks. Strangely, she said the car was smooth until she put these Hankooks on.

Alignments are good for maybe six months. If she's driving on JC roads, six weeks.
I assume that PB is also shaking the car down and making sure that any ball joint, control arm, tie rod, or any other front end parts are tight and no play.
Once the tires get balanced, they will be able to tell if the wheel is jacked or not. If the the machine asks to put more than a certain amount of weight to the wheel, it's going to be deemed damaged.

The previous tire shop saw the tires and concluded that was likely causing the vibration and told me to just warranty the tires. Pepboys won't look at it, they are writing it off as an alignment issue. That took the entire day I had the car.
