The Woman Who risked her life for £10 - Stories from the Garage

This is still one of the most shocking stories of recent times in the garage. A woman came into reception for her MOT. It failed on the fact that two of her tyres were completely bald and exposing the cords!

 



We explained that the car was dangerous to drive and gave her a reasonable quote for replacing the two budget tyres at £56.28 (inc. VAT, fitting, tyre reclaim and balance for each tyre sized at 195/55/15).

The customer was shocked that she needed tires in the first place and she said she would ring back in 10 minutes with a decision whether we would be the ones to replace the tyres or not. She arrived back onsite 30 mins later explaining that she had to pick her children up from school, we asked whether she wanted us to fit the tyres for her and she said that she had managed to find another garage in Maidstone (about 6 miles away) that would do it for £10 cheaper.

We were astounded that she was prepared to drive 6 miles after picking up her children in a car deemed dangerous to drive... Just to save £10.


We usually find that our tyre prices are extremely competitive due to the fact that the price you are quoted with us includes all of the hidden charges many other dealers add on afterwards.#
