After picking up my 2008 corvette from Pep Boys who I had replace my front driver & passenger tires . I pointed out to the service man that my rim on the drivers side was scratched he first states it looks like I hit the curb these rims are Italian it’s NEVER parked by or near any curb it sits in my driveway & driven very little, it’s an Understatement to say the service was Definitely Disappointing I will not in any near future go back or ever use Pep Boys!
