Shock/horror

[GALLA_4]

Decided to get the front wheels balanced as I was getting a little bit of pull to the left. Guy proceed to jack up the car, take off the rim and place it on the balancing machine. Spins the wheel and puts down the protective shield over the wheel while its spinning. To my shock and his horror when he lifted the wheel off the balancer it was all scoured in a circle on the face of my 18" Toora T950!!

I nearly lamped him right there and then! He told me "Ahh I can airbrush that! You'll never know it happened!"

Cutting a long story short he is buying me a new 18" Toora T950 rim! Also he is repairing the wheel he marked for free so I can use it as my spare! He wont be balancing the new rim though! Just thought I would share my little bit of pain with ye! At least I got a satisfactory resolution. Its amazing what a threat to bust his head can do :D

Yeah you'd think Denmark would have played better than that!!

Sorry couldn't resist.

Sure we lost to the Italians but gave them a run for their money!

This happened to me last year and the garage denied all knowledge of it, luckily corrosion occured a couple of months after and I had the alloys replaced under warranty. It really p's me off when garages know how much rims cost and they should treat them with respect.

Glad you sorted it anyway :)

I would have still lamped him ........ just for the sake of it !

Thats terrible Owen!

Hope he finds you a new rim ASAP! Last I heard was that Toora no longer have a distributer in the UK so it is hard to get them?? Not sure if this is a problem anymore.

Rim will be here on the 5th of Sept! All is good!

Plus they touched up the wheel the damaged. Bloody good job they did too. Ahh well at least my spare wheel will match now!
