Warning for anyone in the Tampa area
Thursday, November 17, 2005 9:01 AM
Stay away from Brandon Wheels and Accessories if you enjoy your car. I went there to get my wheels looked at to see why they were making a rubbing sound. The guy told me I needed spacers for the front two wheels , because the hub bore for the front wheels did not match the size of my hub. He then took my front wheels off and told me I had the wrong lug nuts, , because the ones he was trying to sell me didn't even fit the wheels. Then he put each lug nut on by just putting them into the impact drill and screwing them on, no hand tightening them and no torque wrench behind the impact drill. In the process, he cross threaded three of my wheel studs on my front driver side wheel, and put the spacer on wrong. He messed up that one part of my car so bad that my wheel was wobbling like it was about to fall off, and they are claiming it is not their fault, because I originally mounted the wheels myself, but when I mounted the wheels myself, the only problem was sound, I did not break anything. I am getting my wheel studs replaced right now for a nice $130, because I can not even drive my car, and tire kingdom is down the street from my house. After I get my car back, no one is laying a hand on my car except me. Iam so mad right now it isn'tt even funny.

That store should have to replace the studs. I refuse to let anybody touch my car with a impact because of that. I have had 2-3 replaced because they'd do that.

You could always go find that dudes car and trash it.

Using an impact is fine if they take the time to start the lug nuts by hand. $130 is an insane price to pay to have a few wheel studs replaced. You could buy them yourself for about a $1 a piece and be done in 2 hours at the most.
