Wow guys. Heard another great story from Tire's Plus. Apparantly it is standard procedure to chisel off locking lugs with air tools and whatnot there. A friend of mine took their car in there to get tires and instead of using the key that he made a point to supply them with, they beat the fuck out of his rim until the lock broke off...i seem to recall this having happened in the past to members. Tires plus!

 

that would be my bad experience with tire plus and their shitty replacement warrenty that i pay 20 extra bucks for but hey i have gotten 2 new tires out of it

 

so he had the key and they still chizeled them off?

 

Gave them the key and everything. They never asked for it, he gave it to the guy as he was going to start on it. Never asked for help getting them off, just hacked away.

 

so did they buy him new locks and apologize?

 

dumbass garage monkeys :shakehd:

 

Not sure on the appology, but they did get new locks out of it.

 

Morons....morons i say. How the fuck do u give someone the key, and they still fucking break it. I would have a hernia on the spot, i'd be demanding all kinda shit.

 

My guess is just the sight of lock infuriate the people who work for tires plus for whatever reason. Maybe they have some weird urban legend surrounding wheel locks and using the key?

 

What a fucking bunch of morons! :thumbsdn:

How hard is it to use a lock key!

 

Werd...I mean....it takes more work to chisel the lock nuts off. WTF are they smoking there? They must not have vents while they're working of the cars as they're running.

 

it takes ALOT of work to chisel those lugs off. Locking lugs are solid steel I would imagine, takes one hell of a chisel to take that out.

 

that is fucked up.

why dont you sue them?

 

Wasn't me. A friend of mine had the problem. He got new lugs out of it so no harm no foul i suppose he thought.

 

if i had witnessed that, id full on bitch at them. they should go down. it is simply, not right.

 

u mean stroke?

 

Didn't it fock up his rims tho? I'd be getting a new set of Volks outs it.

 

Whatever type of rims they were had caps over the lugs much like our stock ones do. So yeah it beat the hell out of the rims but he wanted to cut his losses and didn't care that it was scrached and beat to shit behind the cap. Still i agree he should have given them a piece of his mind.
