super messed up spare wheel well.
So guys.. one of my tires had a nail in it and was starting to deflate so i put in one of my old rims and tires. and put the one with the nail in my spare wheel well. i drove over to a local tire shop (la puente tires on Valley blvd) and they jacked up my car when i wasnt looking and he did it with 5-6 full pumps with a hydraulic jack and i was like wtf. ok this guy is good for getting my lowered car up that easily.. and then he put on my wheel with a new tire mounted on and lowered my car off the jack. and then when i go and try to put my spare in the wheel well, i noticed the well is bulged up, and then i look under the well and noticed it is all dented up.. that was when i realized that he jacked my car up using the wheel well..... and then i brought it to the manager's attention. and him and all of the workers were the biggest bull****ters alive... they kept saying they never even touched my trunk when in fact one of the guys pulled my wheel+tire out of the wheel well where it was seated perfectly level.. and then 2 guys look under my car and start talking in spanish.. and tell me that my wheel well has been damaged for days.... i was just like how can you know for sure if its been a few days.. there is no sign of aging to a wheel well there will be the same amount dirt there before you put a jack under it, and after you put a jack under it... i was so mad.. i wasn't mad at the fact that they damaged my wheel well because i dont really carry a spare around anyway, but it pissed me off how they were all straight out lying and talking **** about me in spanish thinking i couldnt understand anything
anyway.. you guys see for yourselves..
sorry the picture is a bit dark.. but that's my wheel well..
so.. what can i exactly do about it?

yeah i originally went to the shop just to get 1 tire mounted and balanced, but i'm not really mad about the wheel well itself, i'm just really mad about how they're still charging me for the mounting and balancing even though they clearly straight out lied.. i mean.. no way they could jack up the differential with full pumps.. everytime i jack up my car, i ALWAYS have to inch it up before i get enough clearance to do full pumps.. oh well.. i guess i'll just have to buy a tire mounting a machine and computer balancing machine and do it myself haha i really would love to "visit the place at night", but no point in making such a big deal out of a wheel well... well anyway, thanks for all your replies guys.

I've gone to La Puent tires too. They are cheap, but I have to admit, they don't do the best work. Next time, just pay a little more. There is a Discount Tire a few miles down the street in Walnut.
