Michael P Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 So, i wake up tuesday, trundle to get some eye drops, then go to the petrol station "GENKIES MY TYRE IS QUITE LOW" i cried. i blew it up and set off on my way. I keep my eye on it and it looks all hunky dory. I wake up yesterday, i look out the window and i catch sight of my car "GENKIES MY TYRE IS QUITE LOW" i cried. Then i knew i had some trouble. I went around my village searching high and low for a car pump. I then came across one and used it. I drove to my local town and tried out the Hi-Q garage. I'm fed up with Kwik Fit finding more problems with my car and insisting i have them fixed there and then. I drove in, said "i have a slow puncture, help me or i'll cry" 20 minutes later, i had explained to me that there was a screw quite near to the side wall, only thing that could be done was a new tyre, they only had top line Good Years but they gave it me £10 cheaper because of the cost and they fitted it within 10 minutes. This makes Michael a happy chappy. Use Hi-Q, it'll raise you IQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aph1101 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 You do make me giggle Mr P. :D Glad you got it all sorted out. On a totally unrelated note, but one which may interest you, I had to drive through 5 sodding miles of loose chippings on the way home. A happy chappy, I was not. Needless to say, 10mph all the way!

AndrewL Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 "GENKIES" Who the frick says 'genkies' Parr!? On a side note I'm glad that they sorted your prob out quickly... especially after quikfit-gate that you had before. Alex - they're relaying loads of roads by me at the moment too. Yesterday I was literally following the roller that was compacting it down... the sound of the chips hitting the car was not pleasant at all. I just gave up and drove on the other side of the road eventually, a lovely man in an Audi A3 coming in the opposite direction even pulled into a layby so I could go past on his side of the road! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hook Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I had a bulge in the sidewall of my tyre recently, took it to Hi-Q in Sheffield and they were great. Replaced it with a Toyo Proxes T1 or something for £50. He said the alloy wheel was a little bent, but balanced it up and said it wouldn't be a problem. They had free wi-fi in the reception and they made me a coffee (in a proper mug from a filter coffee machine, not a silly Klix thing). I was quite impressed!
