Tire Shop Beware

Judono

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to alert you guys to stay away from a particular "discounted" tire shop located on Jamacha Rd. in San Diego. Suffice it to say I had a horrible experience with them. I brought my car in last week to have a tire replaced due to a bubble in my sidewall. They ended up breaking my valve stem adapter as well as my TPMS. On their behalf it is a difficult job since the adapter/tpms is located so close to the edge of the wheel. (AME Shallen MX) They apologized and told me they would fix everything as soon as the parts came in.

Well I took it in today and lo and behold there are scratches, indentations, and a nick that looks as if someone took a chisel to the wheel. There is a piece of metal protruding from where the nick is. The manager Rich said he personally worked on the car and that the nick was there before he worked on it. He decided not to notify me believing I already knew of the problem.


Seeing how upset I was, he said he would have someone call me tomorrow to clean the wheel up on their dime. Now I do not know what "clean up" means but these guys better fix all the imperfections on my wheel. We shall see. I will post better pics tomorrow when there is daylight to show the hack job these guys did.

Before I left, the manager pretty much indicated/said he never wanted to work on my car again due to the high level of difficulty it is to replace my tires. I told him no problem and that I would not be bringing any of my cars to his store again.

Granted they are somewhat trying to make things right, but the fact that they tried to hide the fact they jacked up my wheel is what has me so upset.

So guys if you have aftermarket wheels with TPMS STAY AWAY from these guys!
