Wheel damaged by a shop

It's not your friend's fault. It might not be his uncle's fault either; the tire guy that works for the uncle may have been inexperienced, careless, or both. Unfortunately, that reflects poorly on your friend's uncle's shop. It's really too bad about what happened to you.

That sucks dude. I dunno. If that was my uncle and he messed up my friends wheels I would say something or at least get him to make it right. I mean come on. That's some pretty lousy *** customer service.

Also not to hijack the thread but when sh!t like this happens. How can it be prevented? Do people take pictures of their wheels before bring them to the shop?

I say don't cheap out and don't be impatient. I just really wanted my wheels on since they were sitting in my house for a week already and that was the first shop i found that said they would do the job. Also make sure to note how the wheels are undamaged before you go in there (also take pics before) and make sure they agree to cover for damages caused by them. For me this could have been easily prevented but my inpatients got to me.
