I'm soo peeeee'd
Managed to get 3 nails in 3 of my wheels and the normal place i go to (Dave Sheldons, Manchester) was closed or they've moved.
So, thought I'd try this garage I always pass on the way home...
He was an Old Polish Guy (speaks little engligh) serving me and he seemed nice enough and he said dont worry, Well looks after you (My 4R£$)
1st try - Front Passenger side wheel - He left the arm too low and it's curbed it all the way round!!! It had 2 1 Inch kerbing marks but now it looks a mess!!
2nd Try - Rear Passenger Wheel - He left the arm too low on the part in between the spokes and then realised and raised it. Now...have around 3inches of kerbing on that wheel. This was a mint wheel!
3rd Try -The front drivers side - The got the arm high enough but the spokes stick out around 2mm and he's caught 3 of them!! That was a mint wheel too!!
Now..i have a set of ruined rs4s...They're only 7 months old!
I was soo pee'd off and the fact that he sent me to the back really annoyed me..lesson learnt...stay with the guy.
I seen the wheels and lost it and had a massive go at the guy!! He attempted to rub the marks away with his finger and a bit of spit but obviously, that wasnt going to do nothing!
In the end, i didnt pay and ripped it off. The guy tried stopping me by standing behind the car but i werent having none of it!
Rant over...
Just got my 345mm brakes on too and all looks a mess now...
Apart from WRC, are there any good refurbishment centres in Manchester or Liverpool where i can get my wheels done to a decent standard untill i change them next summer!!
My mate in worsley could do them for £40 but thats still £120 which i could have done with...
Thanks guys and sorry for the long post
