I decided to use a set a of steel rims to mount my AXing tires on. Took the Falkens & rims to a local shop and hour later I get a call saying they bent one of my rims (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) . I wasn't to upset since the rims are just the steel rims but still. I don't know how they did it but it is trashed. The others are fine, they are going to pay for another rim and all the mounting was free. They have done other tire work for me in the past will excellent service, so I guess one F-up isn't bad since I have been taking my tires there for 20+ yrs.
- Garold PS thanks to Brad Mayuer for sending me another rim. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

The owner of the shop was the one doing the work. He said it was done while on the machine. The way I understand it they had the rim on the machine with the back of the tire over the rim and was in the process of getting the front lip of the tire over the lip of the rim. Some sort of bar attachment they use (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Anyway, you could see that he was real upset about it and is willing to take care of paying for another rim. What more could you ask for. Its a great little ma & pa shop here in town and I will keep going to them as long as they are around.
Good service is hard to find. - Garold |
