Car washes are bad; especially the ones with rails

Default If you've already left the car wash, you're pretty much SOL.

The car wash manager will just claim that your wheels were scratched somewhere else, prior to coming to his car wash. Unless you make a claim right after it happens, it's unlikely that they'll pay any attention to you.

Default Check Wheel Techniques (more)

They may want to keep the car for a couple of days but they will give you a loaner.
