You didnt curb a rim did you? lol

Wish I wasnt going out of town tonight I'd come pass to check out the Z since its up the street from my house.

 

Thread bump,

I just moved here from Arkansas again, this time I brought car. I bent my wheel driving around baltimore last night

I searched the forums and everyone in the dmv recommends ye old wheel shop. I called them and the guy was rude, not sure if I want them working on my wheel...

 

I would still use them as he(Dans dad i presume) gets cranky at times but Dan is good people and a lot of us know him.

 

Did you ask stupid questions? LOL. What part of post #3 did you miss?

"Why cant you give me a quote by the description over the phone?" would be a stupid Q, it gets asked 50X/day.

Welcome back to the Mid-A...

 

I was waiting for Alberto to chime in on reason # 1480983213 not to ask a stupid question.

 

nah br0. I asked him when he had time, and if I could text him a picture of it. He said no, and he was his schedule was really busy. It seems like I don't have a choice but to use their service. I just don't like people who run a business and can't even be polite to their customers. I take it he's a friend of yours?

 

He really can't give you a true estimate from a cellphone picture and if he has a full schedule you're cutting into him getting other customers out the door on the time he quoted for them.

Call up tomorrow and ask if you can setup an appointment to have a wheel looked at to get an estimate for wheel repair done.

See how they handle that.

 

when I had a bent/cracked rim i called them up, got a really shitty attitude and was told it would take at-least 2 weeks to fix. Obviously I didnt get a good feeling and didnt have 2 weeks, so I went elsewhere. Obviously most can attest to their work being great, I just didn't get that far.

 

@jeffie, I wasn't asking for the price. I've read that it could cost 125+ per wheel. I'm cool with that, I just want it fixed.

Thanks for the advice. I live in bethesda so I definitely will call them before I go there. I wish I could drop it off but I don't have a jack or a four way to remove the wheel. That would be easier because they could take their time and I would pick it up when its ready.

 

I know the owners.

Actually, many of us here in the Mid-A do.

Did you speak to an older man or younger guy?

And trust me, Im not defending the rudeness, we all bust his ***** about his CS when it comes up

 

After putting off the hour drive from VA to Bmore for nearly 2 months now and multiple failed attempts at other "wheel repair" aka "rape you and take your monies" shops, I finally manned up and drove there yesterday.

1.5 week turnaround is sucking the life out of my soul, but he says he can get the wheel back to 95% PLUS they gave me a stocker wheel to drive on for the duration.

I'll attest to the curt attitude over the phone, but when I met the guys, they were pretty helpful. Then again, I have *****...

Aside - my shoulda-been-1-hour-commute home took 4 hours. Thanks rain and crappy semi-drivers who jump medians.

 

Did you deal with a young guy or middle aged guy?

For the young one if you show your t!ts its 20% off....

 

LoL... both actually... and the young guy's mom (I think)... it was like a family reunion basically.

 

LOL-I linked Kewbo (young one) to this thread...

 

oh wait! I think he mentioned you... are you running like insanely wide tires in the back?? Kewbo said he knew a guy with a blue Z. I thought of you or Ian (wide body Z guy)


*waves at Kewbo... and his entire family*

 

He knows me well, we went to HS together, and that was 10yrs ago.

I run 295's

Dont wave at Kewbo, he will machete your hand off. He is an angry Kew.

 

lol

 

You have upset Kewbo. Now everyone's wheels will be painted Period Red...

 

LOL... I may take the "period red" look over the "you stole that, didn't you" look....

 

careful he also writes racist, vile, homoerotic things on the inside of tires
