maxima wheels gone, need help.
so on monday i come out of my house and i see my car standing on crates with no wheals. I called the insurance company they said that they will tow it to an allstate shop and that way i dont need an adjustor, i said fine, but now i am a little concerned about the fact that i have this other shop fixing my maxima thats on lease, and i dont know how the nissan warranty works, should i have towed it to the dealership? can anyone shed some light?

i understand that but when your car is vandilzed + you take it to a non nissan shop even if it is an allstate authorized shop, + i tell the nissan people that the car was dragged up on the tow truck wont they say that i should have gone to them from the beggining.

I'd want the Nissan dealer to inspect the bottom of the car to see if you have another claim with Allstate for damage to the undercariage.

You are not required to have any work done at a nissian dealership. Nissan has no body shops. Dealerships that have bodyshops are not any better then any other body shop, it's just another way for them to steal your money.
If you were to have it towed to the dealership that doesn't have a body shop. You know what they'd do? They'd tow it to a private body shop and have them fix it. Then they'd get a discount on the work, and charge you more then that private shops full price.

nope didnt have any wheal locks but put 2 on each tire on the new tires. the shop i went through said they inspected the bottom and changed everything that needed to be changed i guess when i look at the bill later on today i will be able to tell what they did.

I would never allow a tow company to "drag" my wheel-less car onto a flatbed. If I had to, I'd just get a set of 16" steel wheels/tires from a junkyard and THEN drive it to the shop. Who knows what damage (besides the brakes) caused by the car being transported this way.

I would have never let them take it....I would have filed a police report first and then I would have been calling buddies to loan me some wheels so that I could take it to the dealer. The criminals were nice enough to put it on crates so that is where you should have left it until you got some wheels to put on. In the case of wheel theft, never ever let someone tow your car.
