Check your wheels!

My 15 inch alloy (pre-FL Ambiente) had gutter rash for about 20% of the rim, and the design does not have a lip so a little harder to sort than wheels that do. Cost $165 and you really couldn't tell it had been repaired. Heaven forbid I need them again but I'd go back for sure. Mainly Audi, Merc, BMW there when I was.

That would really upset me if this were to happen. I know it's a bit padentic but whenever I take my car to a service centre, I take some snap shots of the wheels to show the condition they were in before I left so if something happens I have some sort of proof that they did it.

It has worked in my favour before - a while ago when I owned a 180sx Type X I had taken it into a panel beater to get a few bits sprayed up and fitted, decided to go with a reputable panel beater in the area (and paid the price for it too!)....still, before I took it in I took a photo of each panel because the car was immaculate - not a scratch dint or mark. Got the work done, arrived to pick it up and looked around the car - on the drivers door was a nice big scratch. Probably 100mm long - they denied and denied it - pulled my camera out and showed them photos I had taken 30min before dropping it off...no scratch! Needless to say they ended up fixing it for free
