Had a nail in my tire on Sunday 1/19/20 . One of the only places I could go to get that taken care of on Sunday very friendly staff , it was quick and easy. Didn't think to look at my tire after the job was completed.
On Tuesday 1/21/20 , I was pumping gas and getting ready to go to a car washwhen I notice the damage to my rim. I had to think did I hit something and then i realized that was damage from the the place I went to get the nail removed . I drove to the business immediately. When I pulled up the two men that were there on Sunday and a third man. One of the gentleman that was there Sunday re approached me and I told him I had come on Sunday and that I had just noticed the damage . The gentlemen who fixed my tire approached and didn't say much . The other man who was working on another vehicle stopped and said he could fix it . They both started rubbing sand paper and a rag with some solution from a bottle on the rim . Then I saw him pull out a wheel pen . Before he could apply it I asked what it was , and he said paint . I stopped that right then . After all of that I was told that they are not responsible for damage and then I was shown a sign that was posted inside there shop area on the machine .....when was I suppose to see that ? I was in my car while the job was being performed and I only entered the shop to swipe my credit card. I was not informed of a risk before the work began .
So now I'm stuck with a severely scratched rim and I'm responsible for this $200+ worth of damage. That's not good business. If I was informed of the risk of damage when removing a tire from a rim it would have been up to me as the customer to decide to proceed . read more
