What sort of car-pimping can a man expect for $17.99? Ask 43- year-old Dino Dizeo that question, and his answer might likely be, “More pimping than that.” And then he’ll thump you. That’s how it played out at a Homer Glen, Illinois, car wash, anyway.

Dizeo pulled his 2005 Monte Carlo into the Southway Car Wash looking for a bit of TLC in the form of a $17.99 deluxe wash, but took issue when the tire brushes weren’t used to scrub his wheels. Southway supervisor Rocco Ktenas tried to explain that those brushes are only for whitewalls, but Dizeo thought he knew better.

Rocky’s father, Paul, says his son told Dizeo the tires had been hand-washed and offered him a discount. Dizeo responded, “I don’t want to hear any of your shit,” then grabbed Ktenas, choked him until he passed out and left without paying.

“If you’re that fussy, you need to wash it yourself,” Paul commented, “Why ruin your day if you’re never going to be satisfied?” Dizeo’s day was further ruined when he was arrested and charged with felony battery.
