223Hawk ripped me off!
Sure, i like to debate 
Honestly, you are not dealing with a professional business here, and even a professional business would not call a statement from a tire place 42 days after purchase proof.
That's the problem here. My dad owns 5 stores in the north east, if someone claims something about a product 42 days later, it's too late!
Like I said, if you had taken it right to get the tires on and could have shown me as a seller that they were bent within 3-5 business days - then I would have been more understanding.
However, no matter how honest your friends say you are. If I was in his shoes and I KNEW for a fact that they weren't bent on my car, I simply wouldn't believe that you had nothing to do with bending the wheels, when you came back to me more then a month later...

I still strongly disagree with your 3-5 day policy. It's just not good for customer satisfaction. Hell, I worked for Advance Auto for awhile and we use to take things back much later than that with almost no hassle.
Though I realize this is not a corporation we are dealing with here, this is a human being. Now typically this would mean that you would expect him to be a bit more understanding. Life happens. If I physically could have had tires put on 3-5 business days after I got them, I would have. I couldn't afford tires immediately after giving this guy almost all my money. He knew that too, by the way. I asked him if he had any tires he could throw into the deal because I said if not, it would be awhile before I could buy tires for them. So as I said, I wish I would have been able to buy tires sooner. Actually, I wish I hadn't given this guy money for junk.
A wheel repair shop repairs wheels. That includes bent wheels, I don't think they really thought they had to be specific for a receipt. But hell, if you want to split hairs go have a look at their site.

Rim straightening is $130. Three wheels are on the receipt. 130x3= 390. The amount on the receipt.
This is the last time I am repeating myself. I'm pretty sure I could have responded to both of you just by quoting myself from somewhere in this thread. As far as I'm concerned, this thread has served its purpose. It should keep anybody from doing business with this guy if they want their sellers to act with integrity. At the very least, I have shown 223Hawk does not. Even if you are up in the air about whether he should have or shouldn't have accepted responsibility, I think everyone can agree that a seller shouldn't just ignore you when you have a potential problem.
