Default This happened today

Soooo today was the worst day since I've had my C7Z06. I had a nail in my tire, so I went to discount tires to get it repaired and they checked and told me that I'd need a new tire. I called the insurance for my tires and they said that I am covered and just to take it to the dealership and as i'm talking on the phone and I'm parked waiting to finish my conversation and go home One of the guys at discount tires was in a customers car parked next to me and he starts to turn.. and turn and turn and he turned right into my car... Discount tires manager said that they'd take care of everything but it really sucks though.

Discount Tire has always been known to go above and beyond in unfortunate situations like this...

Sucks that it happened but at least you'll be dealing with a stand-up company.

Observation. (see truck in background, they do Heat and air)

Memphis
Area code 901 serves Memphis, Tennessee, and most of its inner-ring suburbs. Geographically speaking, it is the smallest area code in the state.

So what kind of tire insurance do you have through Progressive? I'm with Liberty Mutual but I'd be interested in adding tire and wheel insurance if it's possible. I thought you needed to do this through the dealer you purchased the car from.....and at the time you bought the car.

And I agree with the other posts, that really sucks especially since it sounds like you watched it happen!!

Thanks
