Exciting morning ruined

Think positive!...at least the shop didn’t take a chunk of paint off the car itself! Whenever I had to get new tires on my Boxster, I used to take all 4 wheels off and put my winter set of wheels on my car, so that all I had to do was give the tire shop the wheels. That way, they didn’t have a chance to even get in my car and do something stupid like ride my clutch.

I am finding it harder and harder to even find a tire shop to touch my wheels. The last shop, a couple years ago that did my fronts, when I called to do my rear tires last winter, wouldn't do them any more. I took a chance and used the Tire Rack mobile service. They don't have road force balancing but they didn't damage the rims and the balancing seems fine. Super convenient

It is a worry letting garages touch your car isn't it, it weird my Passat that is worth twice as much in value doesn't bother me half as much.
