Also where someone else suggested it might be a coverup by the dealer, I say that I don't think for a second that their was a coverup of any kind.
I didn't mean to imply that it was a coverup. I was just thinking that maybe this had happened before to them, for whatever reason, so they just went ahead and replaced the tires, out of good customer service. No bad on the dealer! They gave you good service,.

Hi Sky,
I bet you are right: a shallow, inadvertent slash when opening a box. Also agree that it is unlikely Carts and Clubs was trying to cover anything up. It is more likely that they-- and every other dealerships-- has seen this happen before on occasion. Since they knew it could possibly have happened that way, they took the high road, for which they deserve Kudos.

Sorry it happened but very happy to read that C&C took care of it for you at no charge.

Understood! I knew that you were just presenting a thought/idea! But I did want to be clear that I didn't think there was any coverup. In hindsight, I probably could have worded my thoughts a little better.

That sounds like a plausible scenario. The dealer changing the tire for free seems to indicate that it has happened before.

All's well that ends well.

Picked up my cart, rode it home....no problems. Next day, I noticed that it seemed a bit flat. Took it back to the dealer. They found a defect in the wheel. They replaced it. They said that they had never seen this before on a brand new cart. So, it does happen. Granted, yours is a different situation, but I'll bet it was a factory defect.

You didn't happen to park in a handycap area did you ?

It's very common to get keyed even if you have a hanging permit but look like you don't need it.

Unhappy

Do you leave your garage door open?

We did not have tires slashed but we did have Christmas lights wires cut. We live in Amelia.
