I took my car into Bristol Honda (who I have not been too complimentary about in the past ) last week, as I noticed, while cleaning, that 2 centre caps were showing a tiny bit of corrosion. My warranty ran out 3 1/2 months ago, which I told them, but as a good will gesture I figured it was worth a try. While I was there I also pointed out a very small (approx 10mm) mark on one of the alloys, right in the concave bit (I tend to work on the reasoning 'if you don't ask, you don't get' ).

The guy who took photos said I'd be very lucky to get anything, and I was expecting to be told to take a running jump-BUT, I got a call back from them saying if I pay for the centre caps, they'll pay for the wheel , so I get 2 new cap PLUS a wheel, for the price of the caps

So a (very reserved, for now) for Bristol Honda, and Hondas warranty dept.

 

He he Result

 

Just waiting for winter to pass so I can ask for my wheels and centre caps to be changed for a second time as they are fecked again

 

at my last cleaning session I noticed a white Catterpilar growing on a centre cap. 8 month old car and the wheels are cleaned every couple of weeks!

 

Any chance you could post a picture of the typical corrosion? I pretty sure mine are going but would like to see a sucessful claim for a comparison.
Thanks.

edit: i'll post take a picture of my wheel later, just so you know i'm not being lazy.....
