Took my car to get a puncture fixed and came back to this. Was also told the locking wheel nut cover had seized on so they used grips to yank it off only to realise it screws on. I'm not happy and just needed to vent some anger somewhere smile

I agree with Ade and Ian get them to foot the bill for repairs.

Anybody know what touch up colour I need to cover this mess. I agree with everybody's reply but past experience has got me know where. I just won't go back to this garage and move on

You must get them to repair it, or this sloppy work will just carry on, and they will be laugh their heads off.

They are required to repair this.

They have damaged your property and need to repair it. Hopefully they will oblige. Worst case small claims court will sort it.

I'm with Keith. Life's too short and it's your word against theirs. I had a similar matter with Watling Tyres in Dover where a wheel nearly fell off. The assistant manager knew I was always in and out of there and was willing to come to an agreement, but the branch manager flatly refused, so they haven't had my custom since. Their loss, to the tune of probably £1000-2000 profit over the past 15 years from me, and I make sure everyone I know, knows.

Who was it Keith?

I had damage done to the Holden by a garage I had used for years. No proof but I wrote a letter of my comment mplaint and they accepted to repair it. My custom seemed important.

Sometimes it is futile but worth a try.

The garage have agreed to repair my wheel after I explained what had happened. I couldn't prove they had damaged the side of the tyre so I need to pay for that.

Thanks guys for persuading me to follow up with this I honstly didn't think I would get anywhere

Glad you listen to the advice given, now ensure you tell your mates not to go anywhere near the crap place.
