So I took my car in for vibration issue. They replaced one tire after balancing all four wheels. As I am inspecting the car I see that all four wheels have rub marks and scratches on them. They are black accent package wheels. Black painted surface.
They agree that they are messed up and will try to fix. They were unable to polish it out. They call me and say that they tried to take the wheels from another car and put them on. As they did so, they messed up the other wheel. Now they tell me that they do not think that they can balance my wheels without marring or scratching them.:doh:
They agree that they need to repair my original wheels but are concerned about messing them up afterward. I suggested powder coating instead of painting. That should give a more durable finish. They are looking into it.
I spoke with a couple of discount tire shops and they think their equipment needs repair and could not fathom how a dealer could not change or balance tires without leaving marks.
I am going to suggest that they farm the tire work out to another shop. Maybe discount tire would know how? hint hint
Anyone have this sort of problem with black accent wheels?
Car has 1500 miles by the way. Been at the dealer for 8 days.
