Thread: 4 new tyres really means ....

wtf is premium balancing?????

FYI
I put those on 7 days before the accident

paid $220ea.

Hi We sent the girlfriends sons car to a simular style store for a dead alternator due to it being the only one open over Xmas and also as we were away on holidays and I wasn't there to fix it. (Large Tyre outlet that also does Mechanical repairs)

We were told all 4 tyres needed replacing, shocks were buggered, wheel align required, disc pads worn out and oil leaks needed attention.

Tyres did another 8 months with no uneven wear, no evidence of oil leaks and the shocks are still doing the job just fine and I replaced the pads 6 months later!

They depend on drivers with little or no mechanical knowledge to keep them running. They did the altenator at at least 50% more than we would normally have paid and the sump gard fell of 2 days later??

Unfortunately ... I had 1 day before rego! So I guess he thought he had my number, "you need this fixed, and this, and this and also this to get it passed for rego"

I said ... "it's a Land Rover, it's supposed to leak engine oil!"

anyway ... after a little begging, he passed it.

Gotta say, I will NEVER be back to them for ANYTHING !!!!!

Apparently 4 new tyres really means:

- 4 new tyres
- Premium Balancing
- New front pads
- New front discs
- 4 new shocks
- 1 new battery
- Need to search for source of leaks from engine and transmission.




How do you trust 'em?

The real problem is the vehicle. If your tyres are worn out, just replace the vehicle. You spend a little extra, but it fixes all problems associated with your present vehicle.
And a new vehicle will have none of the problems that a vehicle with worn tyres has.
Pehaps you could take it to Peddars for a second quote
