After my car got hit, my car was making a noise in the back, sounds like the tires was rubbing, I not sure, but the noise is still there.

Customer Service

I have been calling and can't get a call back. I told about the noise and went to the shop to let them hear the noise and a mechanic rode with me. I haven't heard anything from them since.
