Big Chain Auto Shop

Well, I've been enjoying my new truck. I did a little light roading this weekend and ended up with a sharp rock puncture in one of my tires. My TPMS sensor went off on the way home so I took it in for a flat repair this afternoon. Took about a hour and walked out of there happy. Just went to grab something out of the garage and noticed what the guys there did to one of my wheels... About a 5-6" gouge where he obviously used a steel bar to pry my tire off.

I'm not so pissed about the damage... I'm pissed at the fact; to do something like this he obviously didn't give a sh*t.

What do you guys think I should do? Cry bloody murder? I'm going back to visit them tomorrow afternoon.

 

Yeah that happens alot. Most of the people at that type of service industry don't give a fuck.

If it were me, since it is a new truck I would bring it up. Its an easy repair.

That's a result of the metal foot and arm flexing on the tire machine not the pry bar. It can be fixed go say something.

 

That sucks man. I would say it was the machine that did that and not someone using a pry bar. That said, there is a proper way to keep that from happening. That is why I like to use (when I can) my local wheel / tire shop because they care. I do my best to support small business even if I have to pay just a little more. I've found that you build a rapport with them and they are much more invested in your property and want repeat customers. Large chains could give a shit if they ever see you again.

It's easily fixed though but you're right... it sucks.

 

Looks like he put the bead breaker foot on the rim and not the tire...sand paper and touch up paint?
