Tires Plus in tallahassee
 
Ok just wondering:
About a month ago i went to tires plus to have tires put on the rims on my vette. My fiancee stayed with my vette so i could go to work and brought my vette to me right from there shop 3 miles away.

as soon as she handed me the keys i called Tires plus about them not putting my rear cnter caps back on. I have been very patient with them and tired of being blown off.

i resently talked with the district manager about this and again he said well i can give you $400 but think i can find 2 new caps. no i have looked for over a month and nothing. So considering just replacing my rims.

but since i like my rims i shouldnt have to replace them becuse there shop lost my center caps.

its apaent there not going to do anything and i know my rims are old and i cant simply replace what i have now. Any ideas?

Can you post :pics:of the wheels so we know what they look like ?

They were "negligent" and you can force them, to replace them (if they can find them either?).

However, to do so may require legal action, take time and be initially expensive for you (may get it back in the judgement).

That said, if you'll get the make/brand/style of wheel (they look very familiar but I can't recall at present what the name is:(), I'm sure someone can help you find a set.

They appear not to have the name embossed on the cover so another option might be to have a set made. Again, Tires Plus can probably be forced to pay for the expense, but it would likely require legal action to make it happen.

A final option is to send a certified mail letter (informative/demand) to the corporate legal depatrment for Tires Plus or in lieu fo that, simply to corporate.

Once things start getting messy, you need to have everything in writing and all communication sent certified.

That levels the playing field (actually tilts it "slightly" in your favor.) If you have a friend that's an attorney, see if they will place the letter on thier letter head. A letter from one shark to another seems to get more action than one generated from a "non-bar numbered" customer;)

Hope some of this helps.
