I would agree. The scratches were in specific locations. If the brush was the culprit, one would expect to see similar scratches all over the rim, not just in specific areas like that. Driver's mistake, driver's responsibility.
The plaintiff is wild for thinking the judge has to be a mechanic to rule on this case. If that's truly what he believes, then he should have brought in a mechanic.
That’s clearly from oxidation, which is rust. Iron oxide (iron rust) turns red/brown, aluminum oxide (aluminum rust) turns white… that doesn’t take a chemistry degree 😂. The brush cleaned off the white residue from the aluminum oxide so all that’s left visible is the pitting. There’s no swirl marks which is what a brush leaves. They’re aluminum rims… they all oxidize eventually. The judge may not be a mechanic but I am. I see it every single day
No, that was not oxidation seen in the photo. Even Judge Milian mentioned that if, there was oxidation, then the plaintiff new enough to clean it off before taking the photo.
@@madmaxofspokane1691 that was pitting CAUSED by oxidation. There’s no white stuff because the brush removed it, the damage caused by the oxidation is still there though
Now I went back in the testimony and the plaintiff did say that he thought that debris on the brushes probably caused the damage. But I agree with the judge that those marks in no way resembled brush marks. I'm sure those marks were made in the exact way both the judge and the defendant suspected. I used to see that on an ex-girlfriend's car and the tire marks on the curb coming into my driveway. She was never allowed to drive my vehicle.😉😁
And he " conveniently" didn't bring a picture of the fourth tire that was supposedly unaffected 😂😂 I call bullshit! He didn't bring a picture of the fourth tire because it would have shown the same damage, definitely not caused by the brushes... Likely from scraping curbs exactly the way the judge stated...
When he said it affected 3 I was like “oh this makes it easier now since he can just show the fourth” then rolled my eyes when he said he didn’t have a photo of it… He probably said 3 so that it didn’t seem as big a deal exactly like, “if I say 4 ppl will say it’s too good to be true that he didn’t notice until the last tire”
Top 2 most annoying car owner: #2 Mercedes owners, #1 Corvette owners. Now, make either of those people senior citizens, multiply the annoying factor tenfold!!
Geez, Harvey... the 'he hardly knew her' 'joke' AGAIN? Soft brushes don't scratch rims. Debris from the road scratches rims. And the guy had no pic of the alleged undamaged 4th wheel. The plaintiff's shifty eyes as JM was telling the guy she recognises those marks was telling. His playing semantics at the end over 'debris' and 'brush' was ridiculous. That said, the owner's pic of the brush was a classic self own!
As a few posters have said, if you don't want your car scratched, do it your damn self. I am lucky, I'm just around the corner from a car wash that has a drive through Automatic wash or wash bays where you can wash it yourself.
I mean or at least get it detailed. Anyone who goes through an automatic car wash, _especially_ one where the workers have huge brushes to wipe all cars, should not be able to complain about picky stuff like this.
I worked at a used car dealership. Most (Not all) used BMW or Benz sold for less then Camry's and Accord's within the same year of production. Benz and BWM made the car dealership the most profit. People with bad credit usually bought them and they could not keep up with monthly payments once they got expensive repair bills. So the cars got repoed and sold again. Funny thing was, we would be upfront with the customer and let them know repairs on those cars being expensive, but they would not listen.
Is sad really. They wanna act rich will protect their so called wealth, when getting repo'd. In the road most are idiots and Jerusalem, in the end, they still lose out on loads of money maintaining those vehicles.
While the plaintiff didn't prove his case, the defendant did NOT tell the truth. His defense was that the plaintiff's tires were oxidized, but then he said he never saw the plaintiff's tires. Plaintiff's exit interview: "The judge is not a mechanic." No, she isn't. It was up to YOU to provide a mechanic's statement or get some used tires and a brush with debris on it, and show, via a video, that a debris-filled brush can do that! damage. Yes, I think a debris-filled brush COULD do that damage, HOWEVER, it was up to the plaintiff to prove it.
Yup - The Plaintiff is either stupid or thinks everyone else is - Those rims look like every car that I've owned with aluminum wheels looks after a few years here in the rustbelt.
5:08 The manager didn't say that the damage was caused by oxidation (aka something combined chemically with oxygen), although it could have been. He said they were oxidized. There are 2 possible things that he may have meant. The damage could be oxidation damage (basically the equivalent of rust, which is iron combining with oxygen). Or he may have meant that the damage was oxidized. Which means that the damage was done some time previously then the exposed metal oxidized, which would mean the damage was old. In both cases it wouldn't be the defendant's fault.
I have to deals with scammers like this every day for the past 26 years. However, once they left the facility, they are no proof that it was damage here no matter what they say you can actually tell to to see if the damage wash fresh oh, and all that damage is funny that usually only people drive a cheap Mercedes-Benz or BMW will do scams like that
Oh those darn alloy rims! I had them on my FJ Cruiser. When I was getting new tires put on, it was EXPLICITLY explained to them that the rims were alloy and they needed to use extreme care so that the rim doesn’t get damaged. Well, I found a gouge out of one of the rims. The tire store paid for the replacement. Of course I didn’t go there that, and I never had that problem again. Those alloy rims are SUPER SOFT.
Not sure how hitting curbs would cause damage inside the rim (not on the outside which touches the curb) but it does look quite extensive. I wish she had asked if he had his car there (if he hadn't fixed it already) to see the fourth wheel.
Rims get scratched from curbs/debris and oxidation - it's the nature of things. The defendant rightfully won this case, although his associates should be cleaning and replacing the brushes more often.
people get a little too protective of their cars. You can't guarantee what's going to happen to your car once it's out of your sight. Cars are going to get scratches, cars are going to get dings, it's just the nature of the beast, and worrying about it is just going to cause stress.
Not when it's a nice car when you put money in, but that's why I don't take mine to the car wash and do it myself. They aren't going to clean the brushes, towels etc after every car.
@@The2Coolest2 Sure if you want to wash it yourself, and park at the far end of the parking lot, and cover it to prevent paint oxidation, and wax it 10 times a year, and only drive it on sunny days, and never drive on gravel and keep it in bubble wrap and..... then that's your choice. If you want to keep your car in showroom condition then that's really where it should stay. But for 99% of the population their vehicle is a mode of transportation, and yes sometimes even a nice mode of transportation, but as soon as you take it out of your driveway expectations need to change.

HMMMMM ONCE I SEEN HIS WHEELS HELL EVEN I CAN TELL THAT THOSE MARKINGS AREN'T FROM A BRUSH HE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF. HESA LYING SCAMMER. GOOD CALL BUT THE DEFENDANT RUNS A NASTY OPERATION
If a brush design for cleaning rims did that to those rims, even with debris on it, those are some cheap AliExpress rims worth 20$ each. In that case, the defendant did the plaintiff a favor because he should not be driving on those rims.
If his rims got scratched that easily, then it would just a matter of time and driving where they would end up the same way. I blame the rims , not the car wash .
Might be it was oxidizing and the brushes exposed more. My wheels are extremely oxidized and look worse so I can't say, but I make sure not to brush those areas.
I have the same kind of damage. I even go to a similar car wash. I did it not the car wash. No ways they’d scratch it that bad. They don’t scrub enough.
Wouldn't the entire wheel be scratched if they were cleaning the wheels and tires? That is a big brush head and too soft and not debris, short of dried concrete of a stiff brush or a metal brush could do that
After 59 seconds, I think the guy with the the car is lying: he looks around the entire room; stares at everything👀 The defendant comes in casually, 😁glances, smiles
if you're that fussy about your car, maybe you should 1- take your car to a way more expensive place where they will baby your car to your standards 2-take photos of your car before & after every time you leave it somewhere or 3-DON'T LOOK AWAY when they are washing to make sure they follow your instructions! crazy case
If you own a car that you are so adamantly careful with, why in the world would you go through a car wash? My dad has an Escalade Platinum- if he gets a carwash he gets a hand car wash to avoid issues like this. Also- that was curb rash, not from a brush. Plaintiff is insane.
There is a reason he doesnt have a pic of the 4th undamaged wheel. If he could have provided a pic of an immaculate undamaged 4th wheel (that he admits was not brushed in his statement) it would have been a slam dunk for him. No way an even dirty brush does that much damage from a quick manual scrub.
Omg, at the end when the plaintiff told Doug, “I never said the brushes, I said the debris on the brushes scratched my rims,” he never said that, he just said it bc JM was giving the defendant a hard time about his picture of the brushes with the debris on it. Give me a break dude 😂
I wonder what the rim on the spare wheel in the trunk looks like. My guess its just like the three damaged ones. Meaning that all four wheels were corroded and damaged, and the spare has recently been put on due to a puncture
Hell no that brush wouldn’t do that, those are scuff marks and oxidation doesn’t even look like scratch marks at all, and I’m big on cleaning my wheels on my car. If he don’t like physical car washes go to a touchless
All aluminum and magnesium style wheels are powder coated. It is a very durable finish. It is a very similar finish to what is on a stove top. It's sprayed on in a powdery form and then baked to a very scuff resistant finish. It will lightly scratch and unfortunately if there are any blemishes that go through to the actual metal underneath it will flake off when the metal corrodes. In order for these wheels to have scratches as bad as the pictures show someone would have had to take sand paper and spend a couple minutes on each wheel. And the fact that the car is a Mercedes means that the wheels are much higher quality than say a Chevy Spark where the powder coating is extremely thin and lower quality. But I have to laugh at the defendant not even taking the time to wash the brush before snapping the shot.
I've detailed vehicles since I was a teenager, those scratches are NOT from any carwash brush even with debris on the brush. That is straight CURBING the rims. I mean shit anyone can see the difference between curbing and dirt scratches.
If it was their brushes, his entire rims would be scratched except the invisible, unscratched 4th rim??? It’s not “oxidized”!but scratched around the base; only scratched around the base where the tires are. Which means that whoever washed the tires with a brush used a brush and scratched the rims while cleaning the tires with tire cleaner and a brush. The car wash did not use brushes to scratch the rims. He did it to his own 🚗 and scratched his own rims by using a brush to scrub his tires, scratched his own rims.
The show pays whatever the judge awards. I think the judge receives a bonus for not awarding Claim. If you watch the show closely with that knowledge you’ll notice she’s constantly looking for reasons not to pay these people and she changes the rules accordingly, let me know what y’all think.
I hate to say it, but the judge crapped the bed on this one, because those weren't 'scratches' on the guy's rims - it's corrosion - and has been there for quite some time before that day.
He probably had the rims cheaply refinished at one point with cheap paint and clearcoat. I see it all the time... rattle-can 1k paint that comes off after one car wash.
I have a Mercedes AMG. I detail my own car. I repeat. I detail my own car. Period, full stop. Yes it’s an extra task but at least I know what is happening to my car. And I’ve also scratched my car and rims. But at least I know it’s my fault.
Car washes trash cars all the time, I had one literally rip my license plate off & it stuck in the miter curtains for several cars after mine, I can only imagine the marks it made to the cars behind mine
Like it’s one thing to straight up lie to try to get over the wonder but you really brought your ass on tv and straight lied, cause where is the picture of the 4th tire 😂

I hate to say it, but the judge crapped the bed on this one, because those weren't 'scratches' on the guy's rims - it's corrosion - and has been there for quite some time before that day.
He probably had the rims cheaply refinished at one point with cheap paint and clearcoat. I see it all the time... rattle-can 1k paint that comes off after one car wash.
I have a Mercedes AMG. I detail my own car. I repeat. I detail my own car. Period, full stop. Yes it’s an extra task but at least I know what is happening to my car. And I’ve also scratched my car and rims. But at least I know it’s my fault.
Car washes trash cars all the time, I had one literally rip my license plate off & it stuck in the miter curtains for several cars after mine, I can only imagine the marks it made to the cars behind mine
How is it only Monday 😭😭😭
No, it s Tuesday. 🤣🤣
It looks like chemicals used on the rim damaged it
Scammer plaintiff
Damn he mad 😠
No way a car wash brush did the damage to those rims.
I own a Volvo and the rims are aluminum as well. I have the same marks on them. Looks ugly it's aluminum oxidation like everyone is saying
Who tf these days leaves their car at the wash😂. I always got shit to do right after
Anyone else notice how disgustingly dirty the plaintiffs phone was ?? The earpiece was covered in what looks like years of ear wax and gunk. Yuck.
This is no way from a brush !!!!!! He’s a con
He must likely wanted someone to pay for the rim damage and found a way to find someone to blame.
I own a 2021 Gt and would not take it to an autowash.
Like it’s one thing to straight up lie to try to get over the wonder but you really brought your ass on tv and straight lied, cause where is the picture of the 4th tire 😂
No way brushes did that. Or had that much heavy duty crap on them
How about Oxidize and Surprise. That hardly knew you stuff is old and tired...smile
