Had new Michelin Super Sports fitted to the front last weekend, matching the ones I put on the back last winter. Anyway, I have her a clean today and saw this....

It's like they took the tyre off with a screwdriver. It's on drivers side - definitely not curbing, which I guess they'll say it is. I took a drive by today to show them but they were closed.
 
That looks nasty :cry:

Similar thing happened to me a few years back and one alloy was completely ruined. Now I always make a point of checking them before driving off as it saves a lot of hassle later on.

Hope they get it repaired for you

I'd say you've got no hope of getting them to fess up to that. Didn't you check them when you got the car back :?

I always get them to check the wheels with me before work commences as there can be no get outs then.
 
Older and wiser for the experience. I was hoping someone would say that these marks are specific to tyre levers (or whatever they're called) never mind. No one's died and the world is still turning.
 
i make sure that i take the manager to the car first, point to the wheels (with no marks) and get him to acknowledge their condition. i then tell him i want them back the same way. Strangely i do the same when the BMW's go in for work at the dealership!
 
Name and shame them, thats pure I don't give a fig, reason why I never visit your high street fitters :x

All they've done there is lever the tyre off with a bar :x

I've ranted several times about exactly the same thing.

I never let tyre fitters loose without walking round the car first to show them how pristine my wheels are. Usually I follow up with a comment about getting the wheels back in the same condition as I've left them.

Gutted for you

I learned the hard way as well to show them before hand there are no marks in the least. Fortunately the education damage on mine was fairly minimal. I'm sure I know what they think of me, but I don't care, it works, never had a single mark since.

What really angers me is they obviously can do it properly if they take care, they just don't bother unless they know they're being monitored. :headbang:
