Today I went to Discount tire to have two new front tires put on( cheap Falkens). While there I was told the new tires MUST be put on the rear even though I told him I was coming back in a week with some NT05's to put on the rear. He said they could flip flop them when I come back so everything was going to work out fine. Unfortunately my wheel lock broke and I had only removed the lock from the front two tires (key was at home jammed in a 12mm deep socket) so he said he could remove the wheel locks on the rear and replace them with lug nuts for $10. I said fine, I just wanted my tires changed and done.
Fast forward 50 minutes. He says the car is done and the new tires are on the front because as he was taking off one of the locks he noticed I had spacers. Apparently discount tire has a policy against putting tires on cars with spacers. But he did say he was able to remove one of the wheel locks. I check the front tires and drive off. When I got home I decided to change out that last locking lug nut only to see the damage. I immediately called back but they were closed.The locking lug was even loose enough to be taken off by hand! I'm heading back at 8 am tomorrow to work something out.
Long story short I paid $10 to have someone chip the shit out of my rim. I'm almost positive it wasn't a peon who did this but someone below the manager.
Does anyone know how Discount Tire usually goes about handling these things?
