EMC Body shop 0wn3d my spare, as well as my 4 pots!

Yeah, so my car was in the shop getting a new bumper, as well as a new wheel (some chick decided to back into it.), well, while my car was sitting there in the shop with 3 wheels, they put my spare on, so they could drive my car around... Good idea right? WRONG! Well, the spare doesn't fit over the 4pots, but that didn't stop EMC! They put that sucker right over, bolted it down, ignored the metal grinding sound, as well as the sparks that were probably flying out of the wheel area, and drove the car around. Well, needless to say, my spare has a 1-2mm deep groove where the brakes carved into it... and now my 4pots don't say "SUBARU" on the side anymore... instead, they are just grinded down.

The plus is, I get a brand new wheel (P1 wheel), as well as a new set of Perrin 4pots, cuz they can't replace 22B brakes.

Those bastards. Be warned.

They still work fine, just one is cosmetically disabled. I feel so violated.

Oh! I misread the question... I don't know... probably cheap though.


(For some reason I read "How fux0red are the fourpots?")

M2 collision screwed me last year by doing a half *** repair, but I got the last laugh and filled a formal complaint to the bureau of automotive repair. They shat their pants and fixed everything right and practically repainted my whole car.
