My shop is in Brookhaven and it was parked out front all day. I'm going to check my cameras for a good laugh.

Hopefully #6 isn't... Hit by a car with no insurance lol

Ha I got ya beat on tires. Oem tires got two nails right off. then got new tires. 3 of my 4 tires have had nails. my front passenger tire has had 3 screws and has been patched once and plugged once. my ford has also had 2 plus and my mothers truck has 2 nails. IM beginning to think someone around here just drives around throwing nails and screws out their windows. I have also had a hubcap hit my front end , a broken windshield, paint coming off the caliper, molding had to be replaced, and my front H emblem is cracked from a rock. So we should start a club and give out jackets. LOL

i find google reviews to be inaccurate over yelp, at least it's way easier to fake positive reviews. If anything, cross reference any google reviewed shop with yelp and see the difference. I've seen 3 star or lower yelp reviewed stores with 4+ star google reviews.

Sorry to hear more misfortune.

google ratings doesn't mean shit. so many ppl out there don't have a clue about good service or doesn't know what good craftmanship is.

Yup... What sucks is that a very good friend of mine referred him and he feels terrible about it.

Dang dude, sorry to hear about your problems. I had lots of bad luck in Atlanta when I lived there as well. Hoping things get better for you!

I thought someone was stealing my temp tag on my last car, but it wasn't put on correctly at the dealer and fell off twice.

:lol:, #6 to be announced. Well, i wouldn't keep tabs on too much things or your life is going to be very miserable. lol. We all go thru stuff and you just move. But, i know the feeling! I keep tabs as well. But just think, these are expected since if your car's a daily. nail, bent wheels on 20's, door dings, if no clear bra, your front will be sand blasted..etc.

I pulled into a wash bay last week and some complete f*cking moron decided to spray out his work truck and left about 30 NAILS all over the bay floor. I'm not sure who thinks that is an acceptable thing to do, but yeah, I picked up every one I found and sprayed the bay floor clean before pulling the rest of the way in.
