If fitting new set, can complain for another set. If old set, they can claim damage already or maybe they just paint back for you.... smile_blackeye.gif

frankly when you go fix new tyres....you are really at the mercy of the installers......does not matter wether their tyres are cheaper of they sell you at standard price.....If you are unlucky and get a reckless installer what can you do.....you want to complain to boss also boss will usually side their worker, and with sour faced worker working on your tyres also not selamat.

Worse still if your rim type like the ones with the front or face coming out wider than the tyre.......wrongly done when removing the wheel, and the face hit the concrete, all chalar chalar and to the installer as if nothing happened.....

Depends on what tools to use to pry out the old tyres.

Actually rim will not get scratch so easily.

After reading the AW forumer's comments, I decided to visit Ban Hooi to change my car's 4 tyres. I found that BH's price quite good, they charged me RM150/pc for NCT5. Yes, agreed with comment that the workmanship there is not very good and I noticed quite a number of workers there and the guy who did my car was bit careless, typical 'don't-care' attitude. I didn't find any scratches to my rims.

I was in a hurry this morning so did not bother to convey the message to Ah Hooi (the BH boss). Will I visit again? I think so, coz the price there is really cheap..

Talk about coincidence, I just went to Tek Ming in Sunway to change tyres and experience the same problems too. The workers were rough when performing the tyres extraction from my rims esp. the prying part. They also nearly mis-install my valve cover to rubber (original was metal) until I point it out. I try to monitor them closely and made sure they didn't screw up my Mazda rim covers like what happened to me in Hup Shun KJ.

Bottom line is, have to keep an eye on the worker, sometimes we "pay" for the cheaper tyre price by getting crappy workmanship :-(

Bro. split,

It does when prying out. Fitting in then NO.
When taking out the tyres, they have to pry and keep the metal rod against the rims surface and turn to remove the tyres.
My usual shop guy, puts a piece of soft cardboard there to cushion it. Most people don't do it...... smile_blackeye.gif

There's a piece of plastic fix on the prying rod to protect the rim mar... So when pry and turn the wheel, that plastic can avoid direct contact of the pryer and rim. As they slides along happily ever after..... biggrin.gif

Maybe not a lot of tyre shop using this piece of plactic.
Ram me if you can!

yes, exactly what happened to my rims. Unfortunately for me I don't think they gave a damn....
