I had a bad expierence at a tire shop. The shop is saying that they didnt do it of course. Car is practially new it has 10k miles first time wheel was removed from the car. It had to be done with the metal pry bar they use

Was it discount tire ?

No it was a local tire shop "casias" close to my home. If it were discount tire, they would repair or replace.. This tire shop was trying to use every excuse possible. I had a long talk with them and it got heated really bad that i had to be seperated for them. calling me a liar pissed me off. Once they saw the condition of the car and other wheels they knew they screwed up so now they are going to get it repaired. As they say.

This is why I only go to reputable shops instead of local and easy. I also document my stuff before and after I go to the shop with pictures

Who are these so-called reputable shops? A Goodyear "certified" tire center perhaps?

If so, I went to three of them in the past and they scratched my wheels and botched my alignment. In fact, the alignment was never 100% correct, so I just lived with it.

Now, with the Camaro, I don't know where I'm going to eventually take it because, quite frankly, I don't trust any shops around here.

this makes me want to get my own tire machine and do it myself. Hope the wheel gets fixed right the first time!

Mainly local (I sound like I'm contradicting myself now) shops that I've heard good things from a lot of people around here in town. What I really meant to say is that I only go to shops that either family, friends, or both have had good experiences with. Either that, or if I can go to a shop where I know the owner (ironically enough, with tires this is the case), then I go there. If you have any local car enthusiast friends, ask around. You may find a place that's solid.
