good year service.....my ***......

today, while washing my car, i noticed a screw in my right rear tire. sooo, i go to have it patched at a Good Year Gemini place. in the process, i take a gander at the tire and i notice a gash on the inside bead of the tire. he fokked it up with that pry-tool. i thought.....that was only the tire. i looked at the wheel, and guess what.....scratched around the entire lip. these guys suck, and tried to say...."it is really not that bad" i almost **** myself. it always seems that where ever i take my car, someone fokks it up. well, they are going to to replace the Volk wheel and the 275-35 18 pole position tire. i do not even care about that, it is the fact that i am going to have to deal witht the headache of getting the te37 that is backordered for 30 more days......

****. there is only a small area damaged, but it is the principle that the bronze is slightly marred up....i think that i will keep the money for now, considering the wheel is back ordered for another month+...

I can't undestand how people do that. I have worked on inumerable big wheels and low profile tires, and as long as you have the appropriate equipment, and take your time, nothing will get damaged. I truly don't see how so many people F up rims.
