If the wheels are new and don't currently have tires on them then I suggest the tirecraft in ogden.

I had the guys in Airdrie snap off a wheel bolt on my Triumph Spitfire after I specially asked them not to use air tools.

I got a good deal on gear wrenches from CT.. so I was happy about that..

Fun times...
dropped the car off at another mechanics

they inspect the damage
As Veedubs use bolts instead of typical socket keys to remove, and as it was as badly stripped as it was

I was charged $250 in labour to chisle out the bolt... and replace it

I'm thinking of freaking out at the store mgr tomorrow

Also, I heard from a friend that works at Dalhousie, one of the service guys (manger or a guy at the counter) punched a customer. Dalhousie is THE worst location by far.

Hahahahah, I worked there when I was 16. Not in the garage/shop/whatever, but i hung around there a lot whenever I was trying to not be around my fucking idiot boss. And ya, I would never bring ANYTHING there. Those idiots use the impact gun on everything, never check torque ratings, and generally strip, scratch, and wreck anything they touch.

That location is hugely fucked. Apparently the customer service manager got arrested last year for stealing over $50,000 from the safe. Brilliant.
