Pothole....

[CLiVE]

Darn pothole. Watch out for this monster. Right by the Rogers video in Silver Springs.

Anyone know the number to call to report it to the city?

Looks like I'm taking a trip over to Alberta Wheel Repair tomorrow.

[CLiVE]

Another...:(

Will the city pay for the repairs?

Not sure. That's what I was wondering. Anyone have any idea?

[redline_13000]

damn thats harsh, they should pay for repairs thats bullshit

[Wildcat]

ouuchhh.. ya definitly look into getting the city to pay up, i mean thats some serious damage! :guns:

[04blackMAX]

[Ferio_vti]

Should be around $150 - 175 to fix. I had one of my stock rims that was in worse shape repaired for $150.

[XylathaneGTR]

Ouch yo...That fucking sucksssss
City better pay up for that...

[CLiVE]

thanks for the phone number. I just called them, and also emailed them some pics of the rim. We'll see what happens...

[Illusionsir]

they most likely wont pay for it. i had damage from a pot hole last year, both tires on the passenger side needed to be replaced, the person that responded to me from the city of calgary pretty much laughed in my face...

[chrisgushue]

ya i doubt they'll pay but its worth a try, this city needs to work on the roads, after all that snow and rain theres porholes all over the frickin place, i hate swerving 2 feet infront of the dam things

[REdOX]

I'm curious.. what's the process to repair dented rims? And does it get back to looking like new again?

[pulse_crx]

that pothole is deadly, i drive by it a couple times a day. just get out of the lane. goodluck with the city

[RiceCake]

Damn that's harsh! :banghead: Maybe we should start another pothole thread again. Driving on Country Hills Blvd today near and at the turnoff to Barlow, there is a killer one there as well!

[DSM Power]

Holy shit! That's brutal dude, sorry to see that. :guns: :(

[ecstasy_civic]

i hate that pothole, i knocked my alignment out last friday night in the same spot. maybe theyll fix it if we complain enough.

sorry to hear:(

[ChronicDex]

I doubt city will pay they prob will out up a warningg sign for the future drivers in tat area though i;'d sill bitch anbd moan though just t makje them feel a little guilty...

[jdmakkord]

Theres a couple of huge ones forming on deerfoot northbound under the 16 ave or 32 ave bridge. Middle and fast lane. The road is all torn up and in chunks, just filling the hole.

[rhizzle]

I dont see why they just cant fix it once and make it last. Last time they fixed it, probably like a month or a bit more ago they filled it in with that black asphalt shit, and it was back to the same pothole like 3 days later. They also just made one of those black strips that go across the road (like the one near rogers) on the turn to my house! Bastards!

Because the City of Calgary is too cheap to use the real, high quality stuff. But yah... I know what you mean - cheap ass mofo's! lol

Take to Alberta Wheel Repair, come back in a few days with money in hand.

Where's that guy who thought the city should pay for all the chips caused by gravel on the roads in the winter?? :rofl: :rofl:

Depending on weather conditions and demand for pot hole repairs, they sometimes have to use a cold mix, which doesn't last as long. If you think the city doesn't repair potholes fast enough or often enough, in 2001 they repaired more than 21,000 potholes! :)

... But not the one that screwed up these wheels! lol :bigpimp: :D

[HOK]

my god.... thats crazy... i'm not trying to offend (since internet is bad with tone) but does the wheel quality matter in this case... would any other wheel just go through the same thing? cause i was thinking of buying some nice wheels, but if calgary is still like this i think i should just stay with the stockers....

[HillBilly]

ouch. There are a few other potholes you guys should watch out for. They are in a big cluster. They start at the SK/AB border and end at the SK/MB border. I guess you could say Saskatchewan is one big pothole:D

[CLiVE]

I got the wheel back today. Here are the after pics for those interested. Looks as good, if not better than new...

[CLiVE]

Pic #2

[EstoMax]

theres a bigass pothole-in-development a block from my house.. its half a lane wide and its gettin deeper i can feel it.. i always slow down when i drive thru there even with stock height on my car.. the city patched up about 1/5th of it on one side of the road.. i dont get it.. so now one tire goes straight while the other dips

max

[Team_Mclaren]

so how much was it???

[EnRich]

Let us know what the city is going to do about paying to get that shit fixed.... I mean we pay for this shit NOT to happen with our hard earned taxes....

[CLiVE]

The cost of the wheel repair was $170+tax.

After I filed my complaint about the pothole, (with pics of the rim) the roads department gave me a call, and told me to file a claim, and directed me to a person at the claims department. It sounds like it shouldn't be a problem to get them to pay for it. (at least from my conversations thus far...)

The pothole has also been repaired, yesterday I believe...
They also called me yesterday too see if my claim had been taken care of.

[Team_Mclaren]

wow! thats good to hear:thumbsup:
