Anyone ever had the wrong tyres fitted by a garage...?

Ordered 2x budget KUHMO ECOWING tyres for the Focus, as its the same as I had on the other axle.

Got them from BLACKCIRCLEs fully fitted etc and took it to the garage this morning, waited and then off I went. 

Walked the dog tonight, admired my shiny wheels that the garage had so nicely cleaned for me (random) and noticed they'd fitted a GOODYEAR Efficient Grip Performance 2. Thought I'd hit the jackpot, until I saw they'd fitted the correct tyre on the other side (same axle) - so I have ODD tyres on the fronts. 

I'm not sure how to approach the garage tomorrow when I ask WTF. I worried they'll say they fitted what was sent and that I should have checked before driving off.

Thoughts?

    no harm in going back and asking

    Have to feel sorry for the other poor guy that's only now realising he's been stuck with a Khumo when he paid for 2 Goodyears... :biggrin: 

    As above, not really sure what you want from us...the only option you've got is to back with your receipt.  I would guess they also get a delivery invoice from blackcircles to check.

    I went back and the garage said "We fit them as they come, by the sticker number...we don't check that they're a matching pair..."

    There was only £6-7 difference in the tyres and the ratings are very similar, only needed the tyres to get rid of this piece of junk focus.
