Today my wife took her VW to a well known nationwide company who fit tyres. She had a large nail in the tyre and I thought a repair was doubtful. I took my porker to meet her and we were told that she needed a new tyre as the puncture was too near the tyre wall. Fair enough. I asked for a replacement tyre and was quoted £189!, I explained that I bought 2 last week for the rear wheels online for £130 from another source. The guy explained that was the price, I went on their company website and booked bought the same reaplacement tyre for £113! I asked why the £76 difference only to be told it's delivery costs.... I nearly peeeed myself laughing, £76 quid to deliver a tyre? Surely they have to deliver the same tyre to the garage regardless ???
The chap in the end agreed to fit the tyre the same day instead of me having to come back and make an appointment due to the online booking. What a rip off, beware of the pitfalls gents.[/code]
