Damaged control arms and rims
I was in for simple oil change service and the GM tech rotated the front and rear wheels by mistake. As soon as I got in a noticed a noise from the front wheels (thank goodness I caught it right away). They had swapped the rears and fronts. This damaged the front control arms - they are scrapped near the top like scrap marks horizontal. And the inside rim of the rear wheel is scratched. I made them document including taking pictures.
They say they can refinish the rims but I'm wondering if I should be worried about anything else? I think they would replace if I insist. I'm also wondering if this might have caused any alignment issues as well? Or if because the larger rear wheels were torqued to the front it may have damaged anything else that I can't easily or visibly see? Help!
