Wheel covers should be pried of with a non-metallic wedge. Driver's License really works well - just work your way around until the cover pops off. Wooden popsicle stick works good too! (No wise cracks!)

Can't tell you how often I see wheel covers misaligned on Crossfires. The typical tire shop has inexperienced hands doing tire service. They've been shown one way to do the work and are told not to deviate. One of the Discount Tire shops here in Greenville had the service personnel time studied and they move around at lightening quick speed to get the most amount of work completed. Many times, they've scratched up wheels because they get careless with the impact wrench. They've replaced 3 wheels on my 2006 VW New Beetle convertible due to sloppy service! I won't take my Crossfire there for any tire service.
