Where are you located? $150 for what? Just mounting tires? That's extremely expensive...

Arkansas. As i've said i've tried 2 other places, they stated they can't do it since I didn't buy the tires from them (why the hell would that matter?) Also, I don't have anyone I can ask to "refer" me somewhere as i'am new to town and the people I do know don't know of anywhere.

Yes for the labor, to swap my sensors from my g35 rims to the g37 rims.

Yeah, some shops are gay about that.

It's going to be hard to find a cheap reputable shop.

You could try craigslist, though the quality will be questionable.

Well I don't mind bringing to nissan as long as they dont f**k up my rims. I will check before I leave and if theres any marks, I will go complain. I bought them with no marks, if anyone is going to cause damage it will be me, someone else does it they will be buying me a new rim. Extreme? Maybe, but I take care of my things and most of my cars/trucks have looked about the same as brand new.

I'm with you. Just to let you know, they have damaged my rims (paint chipping in the lug nut hole).

Haven't confronted them with the problem yet, since it's minimal and I only noticed it recently.

I would inspect the rims with the employee before the work, agree that they're flawless, and should be like that after the install. If he agrees, you should be fine.

That's not really extreme at all... my machete comment may have been

Recently, a friend of mine had a really bad experience with an alignment shop that scratched all four of his wheels... and he didn't let up until they had them professionally re-powercoated.

If you're in the mood for a very lengthy but well written account of the incident: http://www.nfspmotorsports.com/forum...sg1031#msg1031

Exactly my plan, i'll ask for a pre-inspection sheet to show what damage is on the car (which will be none) and if not that, to show there is no damage on my rims and if there is after, all hell will break loose (of course in a nice matter)

My other question is, what if they do f--k my rims up and say they didnt do it, and i'm still on their property and haven't left? Can I call the police, what? This is the grey area.

I plan on taking pictures before tomorrow (I have a appointment).

I too think that the shop will sing you a per damage paper.If there is any damage done then the shop wont be liable.
