Default It fell off the jack!

These guys that were rebalancing my tires were putting my front passenger tire on and the truck fell off the jack...luckily it landed on the inside of the rim but now I have a problem with it shaking at 60-65 mph....but not at any other speed....WTF? one thing after another...oh and yes they will fix it....by god they will.

Doesn't surprise me...all those wheel balancing/oil changing guys are a bunch of tards and a lot of them don't know crap about vehicles. Make them buy you a new rim..

I would take it to another garage and make them foot the bill. If they won't pay you will win in small claims

+1 on making them buy you a new rim, and also make them pay for an alignment

I do not think many shops around here even use floor jacks anymore, most ar using hoists. Hope they pony up!! My vote is new rim and alignment minimum.

I'm sorry to hear that
You can get them to put a new rim and alignment for sure. And if not, take 'em down
