About 22 years ago I got some fancy new forged wheels on my honda civic... (it was the late 90s) When I needed new tires, I just went to an NTB. Car came back with huge scrapes and deep scratches all over the front of the rim from where they used the pry bar and didn't seem to care at all where they were putting it.



The manager said tough shit. I called corporate and they repeated the managers comments. I stayed at that store for 3 days showing it to customers and telling them not to shop there while the manager continuously threatened to call the police if I didn't leave.



Ultimately nothing ever happened either way and I had to move on with life. I don't think I drove even one customer away. Learned my lesson though... If you have nice wheels, be very particular about where you take them. Average tire shops do average peoples cars and if you look around you will see on average no one gives a crap if their car is all scrapped and banged up.
