Default Patch Runflat

I got a nail in my rear tire this weekend.

I just took my 2k c5 to the dealer because the 2 goodyear shops in town wouldn't touch my car... Nice to know they support their own tires.

They made me drop it off because they wouldn't make an apointment, and they are the only place around that can do it.

I am just wondering what I can expect to pay...since they wouldnt tell me. I hate stealerships.

The stealer kept it all day, just to patch a tire. They only charged $15 so I bet they didn't balance it correctly.

I went to the local club meeting last night after I picked it up and was inspecting the rim and noticed they gouged up the paint on the magnesium rim.

Sunday I was in a car show so I know it was fine before Gouge White got a hold of it.
