Best of luck. It sucks to get treated like that but it's not like someone did something to one of your kids.
Keep it in perspective. It is just a bike wheel after all. Don't go getting all crazy or it could cost you alot more. |

Don't go getting all crazy or it could cost you alot more. Exactly. I have zero intention of causing any escalation and that's the last thing I want. I hate drama, plus I know how bad my temper can get. So I'm being as humble light-hearted as I can about it, hence this post. But I'm bringing in a bill for a brand new wheel straight from the Honda dealership for $570 and we can go from there. |

Quoted: You do get what you pay for. BTW: Sorry about your wheel All of this. Craigslist + low bid = total FUBAR. |

Why did you pay him?
If you have to take up complaints with the tech that's the guy you should be paying as well. You paid this guy for destroying your property. He probably thinks you are a doormat. I wouldn't hold my breath on getting a new wheel. Good luck. |

(I change my own.) Does it hold air? Submerge it in a tub and look for bubbles at the bent spot. If so, then they're putting your life at risk with sloppy work. They could have scratched it removing a balance weight. At least remove your old tire yourself, that's easy. (Hint: Clamp in vise/ implode bead/ protect rim/ hacksaw carefully/ lever off/ bolt-cut bead.)

Personally, having gone through this type of issue before, look into submitting it to your insurance [you do carry comprehensive, don't you?] and let the insurance company get the $$ out of the shop.. It does you no good to get yourself arrested for disturbing the shop's peace... |
