Default Tire Rack Fun

Called the Tire Rack to get a TPS replaced on the RF rim. I have the sensor and the rim is Mag?black powder coated. I knew they could knock it down and not screw up the rim. I got a lady on the phone and asked what time she got there, she told me 8 am. So,, I arrives at 8 am ,, she tell me they dont open till 9....what the H*LL,, you told me 8. No, you asked me what time I got here. yes, this really happened. lol

So, i wait, the guys show up, I get in and they knock the tire down and install my new sensor. Try to air up the tire and they say the tire is bad... I say, NO IT WASNT....They show me a BIG hole in the sidewall. They stuck the tire machine threw it. So, I leaves with a NEW right front tire ,, and no rim damage.. but, ,the sensor leaked and I had to add a new o-ring..

At least, they do strive for customer service.
