Default Idiots at Big O...

Sooo... look at what the idiots at Big O tires did to the center caps of my method wheels... does anyone have a set they're willing to part with? Lol. Took my truck in to get a leak from a nail that made its way into my tire patched. They said no charge, since I go there a lot, but when my truck came out they said they had to hammer out the cap... wtf?! Why? I got home took the tire off and noticed the cap is all squared too so I can't just repaint it... This is the last of my business they will be getting... not a good monday...

How about calling your wheel manufacture and see if they have some?

Shouldn't they be on the hook to replace them? Even if it was free service?

No kidding. Free service doesn't mean you get to f-up the customers wheels and get away with it. I would bring that to the manager's attention and have them order you replacements from Method. How many did they damage anyway?

Those wheel caps look like they fit a truck with manual locking hubs. What year truck are we talking about here?

Honestly I would rather just pay the $50 or so for the cap and just stop going there. They lost my business as well as all the referrals I would send their way. I figure they lost out on a lot more and I'm only out $50.. they only damaged 1 thankfully.

It's off a 2013 fx4, but they have a cap that goes over the hole where you would stick your hand into to manually lock the hubs. So you can use them on whatever setup you have.
