Okay today was a fun day to have a car. First my tire blows out. Thank god it was just before i was about to get on the 401.
Then CAA shows up to help put my spare on since now magically my tire iron is gone. Then once we got the tire off the CAA guy tells me my bolts are all stripped and so are the prongs that the bolts go onto.
In his opinion (hes seen it before) the dealership (where i got my tires on in May) screwed up when they put my summer tires (with rims) on. He said the guy must have used the impact gun too much (dont know if thats possible)
Got my car towed to the nearest place that was open wal mart. Good thing my bro in law works at the auto centre. He gets my tire on basically just to get home (less them 5km). He also agreed with the CAA guy.
So my question(s) is/are is there a way I can prove that it is GM's fault since they are the last ones that did maintenance or put on my tires?
Could the stripping of the prongs(dont know technical name) come about any other way that makes it my problem?
Lastly even if it looks like GM's fault does anyone think they will fix it for free or at cost???
Thanks everyone
