    Good Morning guys, just posting here to vent/ask for advice.

    So I got my truck serviced yesterday at the stealership, upon getting my truck back and washed. I noticed that they scratched up 3 of my wheels. Not really bad, but I'm annoyed since someone else damaged my wheels.

    Would I be in the wrong to tell them that I want for them to replace/repair the wheels and to comp me?

    Not trying to be an ass, but its frustrating when you pay someone to do something and they end up damaging your vehicle.

    Pics? I'm guessing the impact socket scraped the wheels near the lug nuts?

    I'm on my work computer so I don't have access to my phone right now but bingo, as soon as I saw the scrapes I knew what happened.

    I'm not trying to be a stickler about the wheels, its more of the premise of the damage.

    Yea they're supposed to be using a thin-wall socket with a plastic sleeve to kinda help prevent scratches.

    New wheels would be fair in my opinion but you'll probably have to settle for some touch up paint or something

    Sorry

    It is most likely my fault, since I put the socket for the lugs in the cup holder, and I don't have that plastic sleeve.

    Yeah, unfortunate circumstance I guess. Was just having a shitty day at work, and then top that off. I tell you what, it's a pain having bronze wheels as this is the second time my wheels have been damaged.
