Guess what happened to my car now...

Ok, some of you guys know that my car got hit by a damn shuttle bus last weekend. My baby is still hurting from that one. Anyways, like a few days before that happened, I blew out the tire on the passenger side front. So I took off my shu's and temporarily replaced them with my stocks. Well, yesterday my Kumho's I ordered from tirerack.com came in so I took my car to Discount TIre to have them installed. After an hour I get my car back and examine the rims. I always do that when I take my car anywhere, call me **** if you want. Anyways, to my horror they damn mounters dinged the crap out of my rims!
There were these deep gashes into the aluminum that were never there before. So I called the manager out to look at them and he tried to tell me that those marks were old. I told him that I always check my rims and that I had checked them before I dropped them off with them. So then he got the installers out there to look at them. I told them to look at the scratches and stuff and compare them to the other rims that they didn't mess with. After that, they went inside and talked with their manager and came back out. The resolution you ask?.... They have on order 2 brand new Tenzo R Shu 4's in Gunmetal, expected to arrive on May 3rd. Sorry about the long post but I had to share my story, so that if this happens to any of you, you can get the same resolution as I got.
The installer that looked at my rims was real col though. He assumed reponsibility right away which made me feel a little better. Thanks for listening guys and gals. It just sucks cuz I am having the worst luck with my car right now...

Aww man and I was up for a round of the guessing game..thanks for getting my hopes up!!!.. that's cool tho.. the installer was probably worried you'd catch on anyways so not much he can do..

Cheers

That sucks man, but hey the good thing is that it all worked out in the end. I have seen people at some of these placesdo work on others cars and they get the job done right but dont care too much for being careful with your stuff. Thats why its hard to find a good place that you can count on and trust to do the work and apreciate what youve got.
