I was there yesterday having a nail in my front passenger tire taken out and patched. This morning I noticed a deep scratch going around the whole rim with a few smaller ones all around! I e-mailed the general manager of the store, but I doubt they'll replace my rim. Damn it, I shoud've went somewhere else.

Forget email. Show up in person or write a letter. It's too easy to ignore email.

They should fix your wheels... I'm not sure how it works if you drove off the lot already. Definitely go back and have a talk with them.

i've had so many rims scratched now that i take each one off the car, clean it inside and out and make the manager tell
me that any scratches i found when i come back, he'd have to replace/repair. just got one back from being fixed and can't tell it was repaired. agree with kev though, go to the store. still may be tough now that you are coming back with scratches. and unfortunately it doesn't matter where you take it to have flats fixed as far as i can tell.

Never leave anywhere w/o inspecting your vehicle b/c since you left it will be kinda hard to prove negligence on their part. Here is a secret, go up there and ask for the manager, put your gun on the counter but do not point it at them and ask for 515.00 for the replacement of your wheel. Don't, I repeat, don't look into the camera. When you drive off back away so they can not get your plate#. There is no arguing or bickering and you get your money w/o going to court. Sometimes they are even nice enough to give you what they have in the safe, those guys at PEP boys are great!

Notice that I never looked into the camera and did you see how anxious they were to pay me. How much were they offering for the rewardof my capture. I have a friend that owes me thirty bucks and he refuses to pay. People say that we look a like, we can turn him in and split the reward money. more money = more mods. What do you say?

I just found out that my reward is 20,000. Man I can get my tranny rebuilt. My s/c and those cool Davin wheels that spin when they aren't moving! I just called and turned him they are going to pick him in the morning. The only thing is that they spread the reward money over a span of 30 years so we get $20 a month!
