I would show you the damage if I have the wheels, but the good people at Missioin Car wash in S. Cali still have them since last Nov. They were kindly enough to promise to fix them but so far couldn't find anyone to fix them properly.

I notice my first damage a month after I installed the wheels, I confronted the manager and was told the car wash rail was design to not to damage the wheels so I took their word for it and assume it was my fault (strange because the damage is on the driver side where chance of hitting a curb is next to 0) then about two months later I got another damage, this time both front and rear driver side; after what happend last time I check my wheels before any car washes. I confronted the manager again and he said it's still impossible showing me that there is a protection strip at the rail entrance.

OK, now I am pissed. He said I needed a witness because this has never happend before and there's no reason to believe that it would happen to me. I know they damaged them, so I was determined to prove that. So for about a 3 month period I would wash my car there and have the person infront to check for the existing damage before entering the car wash. Surely enough, my patience had paid off. This time they again damaged the lips of both front and rear. Now I have witness they just have to swallow it up and promise to fix them so as new.

After three month they still have my rims; not able to fix them properly. They also promised to buy new ones for me if can't fix, but for "3 months!!!!!"

Advise to you; if you are cheap like me that have to save some money by going to car wash that goes through automated rail system to move your car, be careful and talk to their people before entering.

hellboy

Your not supposed to go to a car wash! Wash it yourself.

The scratches inflicted on your rims are the least of your problems. BTW, some friendly advice, ask the car wash for the name of their insurance co. and their policy number. Contact them directly to open a claim, explain the circumstances, and the fact that the issue has not been resolved for three months. Insist on having the rims replaced, and nothing less.

Think twice? That's a no-brainer.

District Attorney's Office and go to the Consumer Affairs Dept. and explain your situation and they will be able to help you.
