ICBC might not insure it in case of a wreck. Calling police BRB:pokerface:

Jgresch 10-31-2014 01:31 PM

Based on the tread depth left on your sidewall I'd say it's unsafe :derp:

Exc3L 10-31-2014 01:35 PM

How'd this end up as a thread about thread depth...

Anyone that works at Dale's on RS that can chime in on this?

acurael 10-31-2014 01:39 PM

I should also mention the car is at stock height with no suspension mods made and no major accidents or repairs ever. First owners and always maintained properly.

1990TSI 10-31-2014 01:53 PM

did you have the same brand tires on your g35 or the exact same tires pictured?

possible they were worn while on the other car?

Awww poor 1990TSI mad because he looks like a complete toolbag as usual! Adorable! :lawl:

There is a place on Industrial in Van beside the Porsche shop. Great place man. Lowered cars welcome.

nma 10-31-2014 02:31 PM

Hey guys, I made a complete tool of my self and my argument is totally invalid but I will continue to argue my point... :rukidding:

That's a terrible experience. I've heard many stories of this happening and it's really sad a lot of people actually do get scammed. Thanks for the heads up.

Do you mean Gord's Auto Repair beside Blitzkrieg Motorwerks? There is no Porsche specialty shop that I am aware of on Industrial Avenue, however, please correct me if I am wrong. If it is indeed Gord's Auto Repair, they are on E. 1st Ave just off of Loren, one block EAST of Main and Great Northern Way / East 2nd Ave. Blitzkrieg is great too. They took very good care of my previous E36 M3 but keep in mind, they are a very busy shop so they will not be able to attend to your car ASAP.

Any way,

Dale's Alignment will always have a strong following and its loyal customer base. Looking from the outside in, including my personal experiences, I felt that it was "just another shop." Maybe I didn't own a Subaru or I didn't have an "in" with the shop? Who knows. But that isn't important.

I have noticed that throughout the years, Daryl and Jason have taken a step back from the daily operations and have moved into a separate role within the business. My personal business dealings with Daryl and Jason have always been great and they took care of me and got the job done in time. I do recall going back once or twice having dealt with a different front office manager and tech, and that's when I decided not to come back. The in-your-face up-sell antics and lack of genuine interest in my needs as a customer were all that it took for me to stop going there.

Dale's Alignment built its stellar reputation based on customer service, especially when Dale ran the show. Daryl and Jason continued the business and have decided to take the business in a different direction, I suppose (this is debatable.) In the end, I would have been happy to pay MORE for the customer experience. I do wish that Daryl and Jason do well in their business at the very least and have a thorough review of what works and what does not.

OP et al. - Sorry you had a poor experience. Best to stick to the Revscene sponsors that have been tried, tested, and are true. Good luck!

E-SPEC 10-31-2014 03:05 PM

^^yeas thats the name. As far as i'mconcerned thats a good place.

BBMme 10-31-2014 04:57 PM

That's sucks. I hate hearing about good indy shops going bad. I've heard nothing but good things from them in the past and I also got my car service from them. Very sad

Same type of tire. Bridgestone blizzak. G35 was on 19s these are 18s. Not the same set of tires!

Are you trolling at this point?

I can only imagine because even I started second guessing myself. My wife said she would have gotten it all done and she wouldn't know what to do if someone said the car should not be driven. I had to get a flashlight and show her the tires in the garage and explain everything to her. Even explaining that metal is under the tire rubber and what they were claiming. She still was leery to drive the car today. Lol. Luckily my gut said to pick up the car immediately and double check everything and think about it.

Totally not trolling. that's so 2004 for me, I'm honestly trying to help...and I just have no respect for daredevil.

I work in the industry and from the picture, that one tire looks worn out. I won't say any more about it as it's beating a dead horse. I get that i'm on my own with my opinion, and I'm okay with that.

It sucks that a shop mis treated you and i'd advise you to get a second opinion at another reputable shop (such as TSS)

No hating(other than tons of fun v6) no trolling, that's just how the pictures look to me. you saw my tires. I'd be worried that yours would look like that soon and I know how shitty mine handle wet weather.

Not as hurt as your springs. Shit I feel bad for the tech who will have to replace those under warranty.

:accepted:

Yeah guys take it to the track then whoever loses can punch the winner out .

1990TSI 10-31-2014 06:33 PM

Probabaly a fair fight really, as far as armchair racing goes, we have the same torque, but he's got 30 hp and 300lbs lbs on me. Now that's just the car, so we'll have to add a few pounds to that, but I think we'd come out pretty close.

No we will force the loser to drive my car and watch as the tires blow up spontaneously as ICBC watches on the sidelines :fuckyea:
