Was out getting new tires put on. It was kind of hot today so I figure I'd tip the guy working on my car, was about to give him $8 bucks or so that was all that i had in my pocket. I give it a quick check and see that he tried to swap out my Volk valve caps with some cheapy ones, so Im like where are my caps not these crap that you put on. Of course he pulls them out of his pocket. oh well his loss no tip for him.

Went to victoria tires in huntington park. They have good prices on tires, but not too sure about their workers.

i thought about it but, in a case like this, its too hard to prove anything. He didnt litterally take off my caps and put different ones on, he had to take mine off anways to change the tire and when he put the caps back on he put different ones on. He could have just said it was an honest mistake blah blah.

so i got home yesterday and checked my caps and guess what, BLACK PLASTIC. So i call Americas Tire and they assure me "this has never happened before" i'm thinkin' "Bitch please.... tell it to someone who might beleive you". He said "come down so we can take a look, i said "look at what, they're GONE".
So 15 minutes later i go down there and say "i called about my caps being missing" he said "which car" i said the white BMW. So he goes off for a secong comes back and said "are they chrome" i looked at him and said "are my fucking wheels chrome?" so off he goes again, when he comes back he says he found them and he'll put them on for me, i say "let me see them" he said "oh they are the BMW ones" so i say "first you asked me if they were chrome, so just let me see them before you get it wrong again" and to my surprise there they where my little brushed aluminum caps.
but guess what this one says to me.... "we replace all of these with plastic ones" i said "are you fucking kidding me, rippping off your customer at least $20 is a joke" he looked shocked.
i was ruder than usual, but oh well, looks like some dudes got a side job selling caps.

i would not go to a tire shop in HP no matter what type of deal i would be gettin. i hate to say it.

there's your mistake, I would never go to huntington park for anything but a fake social security card. bad part of town. I'm with manny, should have pimp handed him, especialy since he had them in his pocket.
