Tire Shop Ruined My Rim!
-
There is nothing wrong with saying the shops name. He can not sue you for slander, or I guess in this case libel because it's written. A complete defense to any defamation (slander or libel) action is truth. If it's the truth that they ruined your rim, you have nothing to worry about.

Ok then, Fargo Tire
I figured. They did the sae thing for me, well, almost. They said my rear tires (17x11's) might not work on their machine, but they could use a another method (prety much using a pry bar to get it on) I told him to just give it a shot on the machine, and it worked fine. I saw guys damaging rims with the other method, but I just wanted to get the fuck out of there. He then tried to charge me $240 to put the tires on(not even take old tires off, or the tires off the car), however, I told him I was quoted $40 on the phone, he tried to pull some crap on me, saying I needed to come up with the money. I flat out told him that I have $60 in my pocket, he will have to settle for that. I took my rims/tires and left. -
Jim just talk to a lawyer and have him or her demand that a claim be filed with their insurance company to reimburse or replacement of the wheel. I called that yesterday when I found the screw in your tire. That's complete bullshit and Fargo Tire is liable for their workmanship or lack there of and is responsible for reimbursemant or replacement of your wheel. I knew this would happen. My only regret is that I wasn't able to do the repair for you when I found it. MAKE EM PAY!!!!!

doesnt suprise me that they used a prybar....those are a bitch to get off the rim. You would think they have a damn good tire machine, but even with that, its not the very fun. They know they fucked it up.
Some guy fucked up 8 new 18" R rims reallly bad at my (old) work...almost in protest over our old POS tire machine....after my manager buying 2 new sets of rims a new tire machine magically showed up the next week! funny how bitching about it for the last year before that didnt do shit....
go back to the manager and show him. they will reimburse you.

I have dealt with Fargo Tire a lot through Quality Auto Body and I never really liked them in the first place. If they dont pay for your rim thats bullshit. Id deffinetely go back there and tell them they have to replace it or you will be getting a lawyer. How much did you pay for your rims? If they tell you no, then lets fuck up there reputation completely. I work in the parts dept. of Corwin Toyota and they lost my business now. Ill make sure everyone else I know never goes there again.

thats shitty.....you can take them to small claims...but even if you win....they decide when they want to pay you....the court might tell them they have to pay you....but thats not saying that they actually will.
My dads taken numerous people to small claims court for bad checks to his business and such...and the person just never pays him and theres nothing he can do about it.....so good luck to ya though. -

You can set it up to garnish their wages, make it impossible for them to get new loans and such.
My GF took her old roomate to court for not paying her half of the bills and now the non payer can't get a car loan and as soon as the bum gets a job a cut of her checks will be given to my GF until shes repaid in full INCLUDING court costs and a fairly high interest rate with each month that passes.
She started out needing to pay my GF $987 and 6 months later its like $1300.

Take out a lien against their business if you get things decided in your favor in small claims....it will fuck their credit up until it gets paid.

The shop told me that basically they couldnt have done any of it... which is bullshit cuase you can see it all.
They told me I was trying to scam them out of $ and for me to leave basically...
Nothing I can do about it, just have to post something on the main page of fargostreet.
