Knicked from a site my mate uses


the whole story

my car went in for a 18k service. after the best part of a day i was told no work had been done due to the locking nut being damaged. i was told they would be breaking off the nut the following day. when i questioned them about damage i was told they will be careful.

today i phoned about 2 to be told they still have not got it off but they are getting a special tool to remove it any minute. again i asked about the wheel and i was told they have marked it slightly. but car should be ready for 5

when i went to see it after work to be told they still have not managed yet i asked to see the damage on the wheel and this is what they have done to it...



can i point out... firstly at no point over the last 2 days have i been contacted to be told there is a problem... secondly at no point have i been asked or told that they will be using special tools, spanners or welding torches to remove my wheel.

i am spitting teeth i have been told they will get the wheel repaired.... lol my arse. and they take about 2 months to get from japan. for people who dont know these wheels are 5zigen pro racer GN+ in hyper black imported from japan... for 1 wheel to be delivered its over £400.



Thats Suzuki main dealer for you!

 

 

id go spare

 

Holy shit, the incompetent bastards.

 

 

Wow! I would be angry

 

I would be mad at them for doing that.

 

u could have got that off with a wheel nut remover with hardly any damage, my locking nut key snapped and had to do this, it left no marks, id sue that garage for damages and and a new wheel, thats not on really is it.

 

worst case they should have drilled the center of the bolt /stud so it would release the wheel

 

Fook I would be spitting feathers

 

Someone nicked my Mk2 Deluxe Cortina. I thought the council had taken it for parking tickets

But, three weeks later, the car re-appear's, and I am thinking, 'maybe I was just silly and didn't see it on the road?'

But when I got a bit closer and realised the addition of the fluffy dice hanging off my rear view mirror, and the battery on the passenger seat instead of under her bonnet..... I knew something was afoot.....

Somone had stolen my baby....then brought it back cos they couldn't drive it (the lady that lived next to where I had parked it saw the guy who took it keep getting out and pushing it back, then getting in and driving it forward to turn it around, as the pussy couldn't even get it in reverse!)

Luckily, for me, there was a sercurity camera pointing right at him while he was doing it.

 

Is that an evo by any chance ?

jesus fucking christ what they done taken a gas axe to it?!?!

Truely shocking!!!! fuck knows how much heat they've had on it to cause that!! Let alone anything behind.

would be straight onto trading standards if they dont cough up, shocking!!!

Most garages have the tool for taking nuts off, fuck knows why they heated it to that extent.....

 

Very very close - Suzuki Ignis Sport

 

My gf had one of them, as odd loooking as they are their a right lil pocket rocket!! 1.5 vvti and revs like fuck!!! only downside was it was a tad high with skinny wheels so felt like it wanted to go if u hacked it into corners but with a suspension drop would have been ok.

WIsh i had kept it now, came with recaro's too

 

wow when i lost mine i just hammered an old socket on. there not normally that tight are they?

 

jesus wept!!!

Idiots!

 

True! I couldnt shake him off in a straight line in my old 2.0 duratec mondeo lol

They are shockingly poor build quality, where suzuki should have used a bolt, they obviously had too many plastic clips to use up, so chose these instead

 

You'd have too... Whip it out the boot. Seriously, fucked up.

 

Utterly LMAO!!!!! 1) Becuase the main dealer thought a burning torch is they way forward for locking wheelnuts.......

And mainly 2) Someone spent 1600 quid on fancy alloys for a Suzuki Ignis Sport

 

id be seriously pissed of & deffo get new wheel or i would take it out of his face
