*Sigh* I need to have a little conversation with my local Les Schwab

[Kevinl]

Go loosen all of his lug nuts

Yep. They had the option to get off cheap. My lawyer is going to tear them a new one.

Wow that's horrible. I would call the regional manager or someone higher up than the dipshit store manager. Or, since you've already got your lawyer involved, let him handle it. That's scary though, glad you made it out alright and the car has minimal damage.

We don't have Les Schwab around here so I had to google them. Funny that their slogan is "Doing the right thing since 1952" and they're not even trying to help you after they screwed up big time.

[Stanley Rockafella]

Let us know how this turns out

I had a similar situation on my 97 Escort years ago. As soon as I noticed the slightest wobble/noise, I ppromptly pulled off the road and tightened the nuts which were almost completely off on one wheel. Since there was no damage and I was good friends with the mechanic who worked on the car, I let it slide.

Since then I'm the only one who works on my car, esp. when removing/installing my wheels.

just to protect others locally you might want to file it on better business bureau and rip off report.i use both bbb and rip off report and in most cases i will stay away from companies/products with bad reports or at least ill have a heads up what to watch for.

good luck

[ColdAccord]

make sure you don't start repairing it until things are settled

[Farbin Kaiber]

Well this, and they stopped the "Free Beef" promotion, so, it looks like your lawyer will be taking the beef to them.

Make sure you get the hood and door blended when you replace the fender. Looks like the leading edge of the door got some chips due to the fender being all bent up.

They are VERY lucky that this was the only damage done.

[CabbE30]

Take it to em! Keep us updated

[bastianshaw]

looks like you have a good attitude bout this, why not just take them to small claims court?

[ClausE30]

I got family in Bellingham, will let them know about that place

[blck325is]

I hope your lawyer puts the screws on those bastards nice and proper! Gluck and hope it all works out man.

Haha, in this situation, I'd probably find a shop to overcharge the shit out of Les Schwab. A place that will do it 100% correct, replace every damaged panel with brand new parts from germany, make the paint match perfectly, etc. To the OP, it's a good thing you're not letting them get away with this.

I think i've seen your car around bellingham quite a few times (don't think there are many calypso e30's around) - It looks clean! Bummer to hear this happened.

Glad to hear your talking to a lawyer, hope it all works out!
