porschechick Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Wow, did you really think posting as you did was a good idea? You just made the company and its shady practices look 100 times worse with this BS. Why would my post NOT be a good idea? Seriously? Why wouldn't I want to give a good company a great review? I drove by the shop last week or the week before and they had $300,000 Ferarri in the shop. I see a lot of high end cars scattered through out the parking lot quite often. If they are so "SHADY" then why do they continue to get repeat customers and high end cars? You should really think before you open your mouth about such topics you DON"T know anything about!

bmx045 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Like I said, their largest customer population are dealers. So all kinds of cars can come in, from any dealer. I've seen porsche and lambo and maybachs at a local detailing shop, that doesn't automatically mean they're a reputable shop(essentially what she's insinuating about wheel repair specialists) simply because of the value of the cars they work on.

I Donated Too sigmafour Posted August 10, 2012 Author I Donated Too Share Posted August 10, 2012 There's some language and tense used in these posts I've heard before, in person with the very man who owns the business in question. That makes me fairly certain who porschechick is or is closely connected to, not that it wasn't obvious the very first time you posted in pink because basically deep down, you're a bit of an idiot. I absolutely stand behind my opinion of what a scumbag I think you turned out to be and just remember you came here and opened this all back up instead of leaving it to fade away further and further down the post count. The Wheel Repair Specialists of Route 1 in Peabody are not a quality operation and you don't give a crap about looking after customers property. YOU ruined my wheels that were expensive to me, that I worked hard to afford and who I trusted to provide an honest service. You couldn't help yourself but try to demean the damage your bone headed staff caused by insinuating your $300,000 cars make you somehow elevated in the rim repair business. It's fairly obvious at least one of your employees really tries hard but likely makes some mistakes and the other is completely powered by THC and hasn't had a pupil in his half closed eyes for many months. You didn't bother to CARE about my wheels or my custom when you had the chance and so you deserve everything you get in life, you venomous curmudgeon. If this post puts a couple of people off coming to your shop well then there you go but I know this isn't a ground shattering channel 5 expose that will shame you out of business. You have clearly demonstrated your defense and only served to make things worse. That was your choice. Maybe, just maybe it will make you think for five minutes you wouldn't have otherwise about not being such a spiv and take a fresh think about how you run your business. You seemed to want to change your reputation when I accused you face to face of the same but you don't have the legs to keep the wind in your sails and see it through. I could see just how angry you became when I pointed out the damage the first time and knew it was utterly misplaced because your knuckle dragging cohorts had trashed yet another customers rims. I pretty much feared and felt sick at having to deal with you again after a second round of fresh damage having previously allowed you the legally required opportunity to put things right. I can't win against you because you're a pro at ruining rims and fobbing off unhappy customer plus your personality is one of retaliation and you've got plenty of tire irons to swing around. The truth is you are too tired and too busy to actually do something about it and would rather ride out problems like mine to stay in on your daily busy work which clearly pays the bills. I am sure it's very hard to find people who will inhale your dangerous paint fumes and play with rubber wheels and rims all day without trashing them but that's your problem, you should be finding out how to fix that. So you carry on doing what you do and I'll carry on doing what I do. You've got my number and if you want to make amends give me a call otherwise I'll continue to look at what was once a pristine set of OZ wheels and wonder what I should really do about it. I've been encouraged that maybe what gets under your skin the most is bad publicity. Fancy that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated Too sigmafour Posted August 10, 2012 Author I Donated Too Share Posted August 10, 2012 I think so... No Drft has a point though, I do tend to drone on a bit. Need a concise version for yelp etc. It's only fair that people get to make informed decisions and here of others experiences before deciding what course of action they may prefer to make themselves.

Underdog Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 That post was well worth the read. As someone who owns several sets of aftermarket wheels and regularly drives in the GBA, I am bound to need rim repair at some point. Thank you, sigmafour, for sharing your experience and warning us all about this place. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadvw Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Maybe a little off topic, but here's my $0.02 about rim repair: -aftermarket rims in my experience (I've had "tire rack specials", ATS, and OZ Racing) are not as strong as OEM wheels - OEM doesn't want a bunch of warped wheels.. I'm sure there are SOME brands out there that are stronger (Compomotive?). -if you want the looks, be prepared to pay. I ended up buying SIX OZ racing wheels, and ended up needing the two spares after just 2 years of driving in my Corrado (16" wheels, nothing too fancy). While we have some potholes, SW Ontario isn't known for insane roads. I used my OEM 15" alloy wheels for winter tires, including winter rallying (airborne a few times, bumps, etc) and they held up much much better than the two sets of aftermarket wheels I had for the C. NorCal has worse potholes than SW Ontario, IMHO (although nothing like Detroit). I've finally said "screw looks" and am staying with OEM wheels. Much cheaper to pick up a few extras (got a whole set for $150 from someone moving out of state). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted August 10, 2012 Author I Donated Too Share Posted August 10, 2012 well yes, all understood and I get all of that. I did bend them but they were repairable and I paid a GOOD chunk of change to have that done, professionally. I was prepared to pay, as you put it. The wheels could have and should have been repaired for that price without ruining them cosmetically, the wheels were in near perfect condition but for the flat spot and a careful rim repair shop would have had no problem resolving that, especially for the cost I paid. Trouble is, uninformed my wheels were ruined by the professional I trusted. Not a pothole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFB Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 A person or persons of very low intellegience would think that I am the owner of this business. However; I can assure you that I am not the owner. Just because I had stated that I received great workmanship for the work that was done on my vehicles as well as others that I have referred, does not mean I am the owner. How do I know that you didn't do the damage to your wheels yourself and blaming this company. How do I know that you are NOT another wheel repair expert trying to make a bad name for this company? We can all point fingers and call names...........but in this case...........YOU ARE ALL WRONG............I am a busy mom and have better things to do with my time. Woman are the ones that usually get screwed by mechanics, car salesman and every other type of service that is provided by mostly men. In this case I was not screwed! I got the best service and will continue to do my business here until I am proven otherwise. Best of luck to all and watch out for pot holes and curbs! Gee guys, I don't know about you but I totally believe what porschechick has to say. I mean, now that they've TOLD us they're not the owner how could you doubt them? Nevermind their overly defensive attitude on the part of this company they clearly have NO AFFILIATION with (it's clear from their telling us so, don't you think?) I'm sure its just a very satisfied customer. After all, they're a WOMAN (they TOLD us so!) and because they say they weren't screwed this clearly establishes this to be a good company. I think the lack of the pink font made it clear to me that they clearly meant business and couldn't possibly be the owner or some other affiliated party, why would anyone making such a thing up use a boring black font? And look how courteous they are, warning us all to look out for potholes and curbs, surely an odd sentiment for someone not in the wheel repair business, but it's obviously something that rubbed off during their recent service call. Thanks for clearing this matter up for me, porschechick, your ad hominem attack at the beginning of your post was most helpful! Seriously? This guy's just making it worse and worse for himself.

Underdog Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 You know, if they owner stepped up and replaced the wheels to sigmafour's satisfaction, admitted making a false identity or putting someone up to this, and apologized, this could all be forgiven. I mean, I would still never go to this shop, but I wouldn't ACTIVELY WARN PEOPLE AWAY FROM IT. Let's face it, if the business is as successful as porschechick makes it out to be, then spending a couple hundred to replace the wheels your negligent employee(s) f'ed up to contain the negative PR would be an easy decision. Make the employee work a couple hours overtime for no extra pay to compensate. As far as olive branches go, this one couldn't be much simpler.
