URGENT !!!! I'm at a tyre place and they have damaged my alloy

Please give some urgent advice.

 

I am at a tyre fitter and they have taken the tyre off with bead breaker machine which has gouged the silicone where the split rim joins in several places, it has also gouged grooves in the aluminium and they have snapped the valve. There are gouge marks around the inside of the wheel and where the valve seals.

 

They cannot get the correct valve and are offering to put a different one in for now but im concerned 1. The rim could split. 2. the gouging in the metal will throw it out of balance.

 

Can you suggest what course of action to take?

 

Thanks

I would suggest that you get them to put in writing that they will pay for your alloy.

If you leave, then they dont have to do anything so you need to make sure you get it all on paper while you are there.

 

I would not risk using it to be honest, and would see if they have a replacement alloy to get you home.

Ive asked them so send it to Ibrar to check it over, if he can repair it properly then fair enough. Otherwise they will pay for a new alloy.

 

Ibrar, if you see this, the guy rang you a moment ago, I'll call you myself to discuss it also.

 

Thanks
