what tire shop so we can steer clear, i have been having a bad time with graham tire

I'd hope so with all that torque!





I'm not sure if I'm going to say for sure yet. I actually stopped there this morning and they said they'd take care of the fender. So that was good news!

They actually bent the fender, because all the mounting bolts are still in tact. I completely forgot my front fenders are made of aluminum, so it probably didn't take much for them to bend them when they improperly jacked up my car.


My rear bumper on the other hand probably won't get paid for. I confronted the lady at work that hit my car, and she is completely oblivious as to what happened. She still has Ontario plates and said she only had insurance in Canada still. I'm not sure if that would cover me in this situation. I really don't have "proof" other than the pictures I took of the scratches on the front of her car...

I'm going to contact my insurance tomorrow morning and see what they advise...otherwise I'll have to foot the bill.

I don't think anybody has anything but bad times, maybe bliss times?, with graham.

graham did pretty well with my tires on the RS. but i never actually brought the car into them, just the tires

Well I figured I'd post once more to finish the saga being it has been taken care of awhile ago now.

The fender was taken care of courtesy of the shop that I took it to. I went to Boxy's off the Crooks exit. Can't say enough about their service! I will definitely go back there in the future for body work (or if I go wingless!).

Thankfully the fender was just way out of alignment and did NOT need to be replaced! I also had them touch up a spot by my rear fender that was getting chipped up! Everything looks excellent now!

Boxy's +1 that.

is boxy's a body shop or something?? cause i'm looking for someone to repaint the RS (especially after my dad backed into the front end and took off half the friggen paint)

NICE!

Yeah it is! Boxy's Paint and Body

Well how'd they do on the tires? lol I know it was awhile ago that you had it done but when I went to graham they didn't even torque the wheels properly!

I had the steering-wheel shimmying of unbalanced tires but when i rotated them and retorqued them myself it went away immediately!

And I'm lookin for any good place, for when I get the star specs mounted/aligned.

Well, I actually went to ben's bargain barn to ge the snow tires mounted. I wasn't going to mention their name, but why not?

I understand things happen and I'm very pleased that they stood up and took responsibility for their actions! I'm not sure how many places would own up to their mistakes like this.

Not sure if I'd go back though to be honest...It just seems like everything is crammed in back in the shop. Not much room back there and you can see how things like this would happen!

In the future, I am just going to go to walmart to have my tires mounted/dismounted. I sold my stock black wheels this past week and had them dismount my star specs, and they didn't screw up the paint on the wheels whatsoever if that means anything!

Pretty inexpensive there too, I think it was like $3 a wheel + tax.

Now I just need to decide what size wheels/tires I'm going to run this year!

did boxys have a shop in sioux falls before or are they new? if they were in SF where was their shop located before??

Boxy's has been around for a while now. I am pretty sure they have been in Crooks the entire time. Good reputation. As I recall Sturdevant's RSC does a lot of business with them. Good local shop.
