Short of having driven you car i fail to see how a tyre fitter has managed to scuff 10 wheel spokes

sorry didnt word that well its on 5 spokes over the 2 wheels 2 on 1 wheel 3 on the other i guess i was just wondering if the machine that puts the tyre on could have done that ?

Unfortunately if you leave the premises for any length of time the likely response you'll get from them is a big fat f*ck you

Garage did a similar thing to my alloys when fitting tyres, I complained and got them all repainted (took long enough though)

Post #13

should have said you wanted the newer tyres on when you picked them up would have done it for ya

Post #14

yea i wasnt sure if i was going to put them on these at the time wish i had now tho

Post #15

Credit to them took them off me said they were really sorry and are going to sort them out

Although it's a pain the way they handled it means I'll go back again

edit : ahh nice to hear

i hate going to tyre fitters
they always wack alloys off my brembos and scuff my wheels in at least one place

i always remove the wheels stick them in boot of other car and take them to tyre fitters and watch them do it

am i strange? LOL
