Having finally got my car in for the lower ball joint recall today I got a call at lunchtime from the dealer.
Hello Mr Akers, we have your car in at the moment, we picked it up from your place of work this morning
Yes thats right
Well we have it up on the ramps and 2 of your tyres are fcuked
OK, not a real suprise
Well we wont be able to deliver it back to your place of work unless we fix them as our technicians have said the car is dangerous
OK
So we can fit the tyres for you sir, they are £135 each plus VAT plus fitting
hmmmmm, let me think on it, OK FCUK right off!
OK sir we will come and pick you up at yur place of work and recommend that you replace your tyres at your earliest convenience.
Sure, whatever!
So I get to the dealer, go to the tyre place next door and pick up 4 AVON ZV3 tyres for £320 inclusive, fitted, the lot!
mytyres lists them at £82 a pop, so I got a result. Too early to tell what they are like as they are still a bit slippy! Look nice though ;)
By the way they sealed my joints rather than replaced them :(
