lol, one of my coworkers ripped off a car's bumper before at America's Tire Co. We obviously took it to a body shop and repaired it free of charge. If you have a pretty low car, make sure to ask them to use blocks to drive up on the lift, or ask them to only use low profile jacks due to your car not fitting on a lift.

As for the charge, most places if you don't buy tires from them, will try to charge you up the butt for anything done there as incentive to buy from them. America's Tire Co. used to charge $1/in/wheel for balancing not bought through them, and if bought through them, free. I dunno what their prices are now.

I asked them to be extra careful because of the height of my car, even tho it just has pink springs......i guess they didn't listen.


Hopefully my car will get repaired.

It was concord one next to frys.

from now on ill go out of my way.

i went to wheel works b/c big0 did mount etc.. and i could feel a wheel was out of balance........wheel works claimed 2 were out, but then they ripped off me bumper so who knows if they are truthful, i sure dont trust their manager he is super shady.

Where in Concord do you live? I know the America's Tire Co. in Walnut Creek has a few lifts that lower into the ground, leaving the lift area flat so it can easily get under lowered cars. Just as a heads up.
