I brought my car into the Tire warehouse on route 9 in clifton park near seymoures last friday to have two new rear tires mounted…
well, today I washed my car, and noticed the black powercoating is gouged out of my wheels and one of the wheels looks like it has curb rash all the way around it…I bought my wheels brand new, and Im anal about parking out from things that can curb up my wheels…
I dont have the receipt but im in their computer and im sure they will remember me since they spent half an hour looking at shit under my car and my hood.
I cant fucking stand idiots that aren’t carefull. That could have been avoided. It’s a shame because you should have checked when they put them on. It’s going to be a tough case for you to prove.
That is pretty bad, go back and be calm at first, no one wants to help an asshole. See what they say and if they are not going to do
anything then raise hell
first off, the reason why I didnt notice it to begin with, was because when I had the tires mounted, it was down pouring outside so I didnt look at the wheels or notice it…
also, Theirs 2 more chips I found that arent in the pics. Over all, theirs 4 big chips.
The guy was cool about it, but was talking to me like I didnt take automotive tech for 4 years and dont know anything about impact guns and tire mounting.
He was trying to explain that theirs no way a impact wrench could have did that, and someone with that deep of a gouge would have purposely hit the wheels with something. A impact wrench could have easily done it…all it takes is someone in a hurry to get wheels on, shoving the impact wrench in and not paying fully attention…for the socket to begin with, its a tight fit. He basically said he feels like it had nothing to do with them, and I said look…These wheels are brand new. I am the only one thats mounted them along with you guys and I was careful with what I was doing.
anyways, he is sending my invoice to the owner, and he’s going to contact me on what were going to do about it.
and when I was leaving a bunch of yahoo’s that work there were yelling for me to “smoke them” like seriously, stfu.
MOST of the curb rash I got out with mothers polish…im not worried about that. Its the chips that get to my bones.
Yea you can def. tell that those chips were caused by either a socket that was too big for the rims or by someone being careless. Those aren’t just chips in the rim.
