Discount tire Damages wheels, who’s at fault?
I brought my 2013 civic into Discount Tire today, and bought new tires for a set of 07’ civic si wheels, I had them installed and wanted the wheels put onto the car. After \~20 minutes they call me and inform me they have “bad news” and that the 07 wheels do not clear the front brake calipers. I said okay, and told them to just put the old wheels back on and the new ones back into the trunk. When I got home, I noticed that not only were my front brake calipers scratched up, but two of the four wheels had deep, circular gauging across the entire back side, clearly visible from the front of the wheels. This was not at all disclosed to me at any point after the damage occurred.
I was completely unaware of the fitment disparity, but two of my wheels are now permanently damaged. I am planning to call again tomorrow morning when they open, but I wanted to hear if anyone’s had a similar experience, and who’s likely at fault, or what to expect from this.
