In April of 2023, I reached out to GoWrenchAuto to have my off rim tires swapped. I had recently purchased new tires online. Unfortunately, during the service, all four rims were damaged, with scoring on the outer perimeter and claw marks on at least two of the rims.
As soon as I noticed the damage, I contacted GoWrenchAuto and provided them with photos as evidence. However, the Chief Business Development Officer (CBDO), Kolton, took his time and only responded after I left a Google review detailing my experience. He suggested I remove my 1 star Google review until the issue could be fixed.
The CBDO acknowledged the damage caused by the tire swap and assured me that the rims would be repaired when I removed the tires again. He suggested that I contact him outside of Tire Season, as it would be easier to get the service completed.
In February of 2024, I contacted the CBDO to arrange for the pickup of the rims for refinishing. They were picked up promptly, but I did not receive any updates for a month until I inquired once again.
At this point, I realized that dealing with the CBDO was futile, so I requested Joshua Lobardo-Bottema to take over. However, he was unwilling and directed me back to the CBDO, citing personal issues that only the CBDO could handle.
On April 18th at 10:50 AM, a set of Mazda Rims was delivered to my home as promised by the CBDO. However, they were removed just five minutes later as they did not belong to me. I received a call from the CBDO explaining that they had mistakenly delivered the incorrect tires/rims. He claimed that he had only just realized that my rims had been sitting in some corner due to the specific bags I had stored my tires in.
Since February, my rims had not been touched. The CBDO had promised to personally deliver the rims, but that never happened.
Finally, on April 30, the rims were delivered, but they were only washed and not refinished. Furthermore, the GoWrenchAuto agent once again piled the tires in a corner, disregarding the useless instructions of the CBDO.
The CBDO offered to pick up the rims and attempt to service them for the first time, but I declined. I had no choice but to put the rims back on my car, as I was not willing to let GoWrenchAuto service them for a third time.
