Well, I got the new rear tires on my car on Saturday morning and today while driving my car, Brad and I hear a piece of metal ping, something hits the side of my car and we thought it was something that someone else might have chucked...so later I notice a nice ding/scratch in the side of my car and then notice when I get home that the center cap on my rear wheel is gone. SOaB!!!
Amazing, I've put maybe between 30,000 and 40,000 miles on the car (on the old tires) and managed to not lose a single center cap and Discount Tire puts on my new tires and I lose one two days later. Brad says to call them and tell them to replace it since they obviously didn't put it back on right. How much is a new one going to cost? OH...and the front end is STILL not balanced right. They really suck at this. |

Personally, After NTB farked up the newly refinished 4 lug fuchs for Betty's 914, I will never take another car to any of the cheapo tire places. The tire monkeys they have changing tires don't know enough to keep from scratching the face of all 4 wheels while balancing the tires, they have no idea what a torque wrench is, and they don't know to match the dots on the outboard side of the tire with the valve stems.
Take them to a high end car dealer or specialty shop. In the DFW area, I use Zims. The tires are always mounted and balanced correctly without screwing up the rims. |
