Exclamation The value of wheel and tire protection..

For any people looking to buy a car such as ours I have to say get wheel and tire protection!!

I've only had my Benz 3 months and have needed it for a second time already, this time thanks to my lovely wife (ahhem) and before thanks to a lovely NJ pot hole. This is probably going to pay for its self real quickly.. I'm probably going to do an alignment in the near future as well.

They didn't offer it when and where I bought my vehicle Mercedes in Boucherville Montreal area.

It would've payed for itself 12 times by now...

Yah.. I can imagine! I knew to get it from being a tech at Bmw and an advisor for Mercedes lol. I don't know how things work up there in Canada.

Curb most likely, two chunks out of the tire and couple pretty deep grooves out of the wheel. The thing I'm wondering is if the dealer is going to fix it or replace the wheel. I'll get a new tire, and try to fight for a new wheel. I still get a slight vibration from the first time, going to try and get that wheel replaced as well. Gunna take some better pics of the damage 😢...
