The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) VI

Haboob

Got my rim back and I'm not sure I'm happy.

My other rims are dirty at the moment (keeps raining too), so I can't really say 100% that it's a different colour.

I may sit down in the garage today and clean up the rims to compare.

It was hard to tell when I took delivery, because I didn't have anything to compare it to.

JARblue

Well that sucks I would definitely sit down and clean them for comparison asap. If it's not acceptable, I would go back to them immediately. Also, I would take two tires with you so they can see for themselves that it's not right.

I may just take the car down there and bite the bullet and have them throw on the spare.

It's going to look awful, but I can't go without a car for another two days.

JARblue

Yeah, that sucks. I was kind of wondering how you were getting around (I didn't think you had two cars). I had the spare tire on my Z and was driving it back to the dealership about 20 min after driving it away from the dealership on Day 1. I can confirm it does look terrible

I wouldn't count on it, but maybe you can get them to pay for a rental for a day or two. Never hurts to ask.

I absolutely hate doing what I already did and am going to have to do again - complaining to a shop, because it wasn't done right the first time.

The problem is to get what you want, you often have to be a harda$$. Most of the time, if you start out polite and only get tough when they dig in their heels, you can get somewhere. However, worst case is when they are just pricks to begin with, and you end up burning any bridge you might have been able to cross when you get upset.

Don't. Think of it this way, if the shop hired competent employees and had good QC, this wouldn't happen. However it did, and they should make it right.

That being said, since this is a chain (discount tire right?), if you don't get what you need dealing with the local shop, move it up the line. Go to the regional manager.

sorry to hear, haboob.
