Pro Shop worse repairs

[wonderenzo 0]

Thoughts... Customer came in and showed us these skates that he got at a shop near us... Note the cluster truck of helmet washers and rivets they used.

:o What were you having done to them?

Assuming the skates went in to that shop stock, they owe you new ones. If they refuse I'd take them to small claims court. That's brutal.

soooo lame!!

What were you expecting them to do tho? Im confused as to how that happened?

Helmet hardware on skates...wow. That can't be good. Those would rip out within a few uses, no?

It looks as though they moved the holders to the insides of the skates (to correct pronation?) but did so by stretching the holes on the holders, as opposed to doing so on the boots outsole itself. Then again, they just may not have a steady hand.

If the holes in the bottom of the boot were not widened, and none were added, it may be possible to just have new holders and RMS hardware installed and they'll be no worse for wear.

That is awful! Who would expect anyone to pay for that abomination?

Holy mother of god. And I thought my skates got raped...

If you really want to do that guy a favour, write up a little informal affidavit: nothing fancy, just describe what's wrong with the materials and workmanship, explain how the skate has been damaged, sign & date. That gives him something to take back to the other shop and shove in their faces if they try to jerk him around.

Is the back end of the left skate's holder hanging over the side of the boot? That's brutal. What did he originally go into the store asking to have done?

[srv2miker 0]

Wow. Just wow.

What are those (the hardware)? They don't look like any skate rivets I've ever seen. Also, those are graf holders mounted or re-mounted on a pair of grafs...how could someone screw that up so bad? I'm not an expert, but it seems like that would be a pretty straightforward job.

To that stores defence, this is what Graf told them to do, I'm almost positive that the holder was missplaced from the get go and this is how Graf decides to fix these issues instead of replacing the skate

Were these skates purchased from the shop like that, or were they taken in for repairs and returned that way?

The guy has been skating for about 2 months, and he bought a previous pair there that they also messed up. He brought them back saying he needed something comfortable. They also sized him a size and a half to big on top of screwing his skates up

They put a guy skating for only 2 months in a high end Graf?? And then sized him wrong? lame
