National Tyres

Just a quick one to mention to anyone who is in need of getting new tyres, Avoid national tyres at all costs. I took my car there this week, and the are nothing but wreckless cowboys. Firstly the damage each surface of my 20 year old Brabus Monoblock II, then used a chisel to chisel a surface weight of the alloy, breaking the laquer, then swapped the front wheels for the back (one of the back ones is ever so slightly warped and should remain on the back only!!) then the best bit by far is couldnt get the 13 mil pin to screw back into the alloy cover, so drove it in with a hammer! I'm not even kidding.
I went down today, he said, the wheels where already damaged when I took them, (impossible they where only refurb last week) and its my fault because I should have taken the wheels off myself !!

Avoid this rodeo company if you value your cars.

Did you ask if their fire insurance arrangements were up to date? :idea:

Yeah well you think your saving money, but now I have to get two wheels refurbed, and an alloy coiling put in the cover. Only benifit is my credit card company have stopped the payment, so I have free tyres up to now, and I swear they'll pay for the wheels, I'll get them invoiced direct from paintmasters factoring company. Unbelievable. when you say there is a pattern there have other people had such experiences ??
