Hey guys, I had my tires swapped out last week for a little extra clearance. In the process of doing so, this shop I had seen some good reviews for had stripped one of the bolt holes and half of my bolt. I'm pretty pissed off about it right now. What's the best way to handle this?

Bolts are actually wear items, and need to be replaced from time to time.

That's probably my best option right now. Just reached 180,xxx miles and my hub and bearings need to be swapped out. lol
Thanks. I actually confronted one of the owners though, and I was just met with complete disrespect. He didn't even acknowledge that I was there half the time and would turn his back on me mid-conversation.
that would be my next course of action.Originally posted by anthLucky they didn't come into your house and disrespect your whole family.

I would not pay the bill.
But you are in this situation now, the best thing would be changing the bearing and hubs on both sides.
Are you mechanical inclined to do it your self? Or got some friend that can help you. It would save some cash.-Instagram@jdjurhuus

You can repair the threads and add some thread locker when you install the wheels for some added protection. If the damage is severe then I would take Zic's advice and replace the hub. I would first repair the threads. After the repair If you install the lug and there is to much play (as in vertical/horizontal movement when its threaded) then the hub should be replaced. You must do this without the wheel - install all the lugs and check. You can easily tell if its to much play as soon as you being threading the lugs. GL

But I should be able to swap the hubs out though. I've done all the other work on the car. I just need to save up a little for those hubs. lol
