So this happened when I got my tires put on at Walmart.

jgibbons

So... called around to find the cheapest tire mounting service in my area. Walmart had the competition beat by around $20.
and this is what i got back.



Going to have pursue the managment. I also noticed i had roughly 12 miles less range than when I left the car. It also took an hour longer than the original estimated 1.5 hour wait. The mechanic also said "Car's got quite the kick to it!" when I picked it up.

cars got kick in it? Yeah they def test drove it, just curious why not go to pep boys or something they charge 9.99 for a mount and balance, and another 9.99 to put it on.

Thats unfortunate, GL with the lawsuit/pursuing the responsible

jgibbons

Well i've heard horror stories about suing walmart.. they also have the largest legal team in corporate america. Pep boys said they wouldnt mount any tires i didnt purchase there. Pretty bummed about it.

Really? You sure, I got hankooks on order and im getting my rays powdercoated and when I get both, I am going to pepboys, they said they will mount any tires (regardless of you buy them there or not).

And yeah well hire a lawyer and sue them, you might come out a couple mil richer.

If someone drove my car without my permission I would be pissed AF. Especially a Walmart mechanic lol

FairladyZ

That's not how suing works. He will get compensated for his time and damage that's about it

nmjaxx9

Well the main thing is he gets his Z back to how it was when he first brought it in, as long as that is taken care of.

Waiz

Damn this sucks but you should have carefully inspected your Z after you got it back and pointed this out before you left

This is what happens when you don't go to an enthusiast shop, lesson learned

nmjaxx9

Yeah and trying to be a smartass in a situation like this only makes things uworse, OP good luck with repairs.

jgibbons

Yeah it was pretty late and freezing out. so i didnt spend a lot of time checking it out, but i noticed it first thing in the morning.

Why would you let anyone at walmart touch your z? Lesson learned....good luck getting it sorted out

binary0x01

Dood... Walmart?? man... really. Dunno what to say, sucks about the Z.

If your Z is a 6 speed... man I'd be worried about them grinding gears and slipping the clutch. All around not a good move to take it there.

It happens, I would try to take as many photos that you can and report it to the Service Manager

If you can I would also get an estiamte from a body shop for the repair so that you know what to ask for in terms of dollar amount

I recently had to go after a city construction company because of an unmarked construction zone that damaged my car, everyone told me that I wouldn't get compensated for it but I pursued it and got the the company to pay my damages after I ended up going through my insurance
