so months back i had a shop install my BC coilovers & do the front end alignment, they are a performance shop this is what they do!!!so as of now i have a little under 6k on my 5.0 sense the install and the frount tires inside tire tread is gone there is none ,the rest of the tire looks new .i even paid more for camber plates! so do you think they should pay for me new tires?? i have spent alot of $$ at this shop & sent them alot of work! what do you think?? also the tires were brand new all the way around.

If what they did caused the problem, then yes. But I do not see how you are going to get them to actually pay up.

^^^^ I agree they should pay but it would be very easy for them to say that it was not there work and you could have hit a pot hole and thrown off the alignment, might be hard to prove it was their work, good luck I hope you can get them to pay, tires are expensive

Since it seems like you've given them a fair share of business, they SHOULD work with you

Tell them you're going to come on here and make a fuss about it.

I know a guy that had Brenspeed do some work and they messed it up bigtime, gave him the runaround, but when he mentioned that he would come on here and tell people, they fixed it.

What's their side of the story?

Problem with this theory, is that he would have to hit 2 pot holes... One for each side.
Since both tires wear on the inside, it tells me that his set-up is out of wack.
I say it's their wrong doing.

Did they adjust camber appropriately or leave it at factory settings?
Some Mustangs here with factory camber seemed to have this inside tire wear problem.
Funny that I had the same issue and switched tire brands and that cured it. Wierd.

This all come down to whether you asked for a specific camber setting or left it up to them. They may have assumed that since you were upgrading the suspension that you wanted aggressive camber settings, and if you didn't specify what camber you wanted, it's all your fault.
Let this be a lesson (I had to learn it the new set of tires way also), you need to pay attention to the alignment settings and don't pay them until they get to what you specify. Also, most shops will do an alignment diagnostic for free or next to it, take advantage of that when you get your tires rotated or whatever to verify that alignment hasn't drifted.

if you came into my shop with this attitude, id walk you right back out.


just from an outside view it seems like youre looking for a handout.
