Question for tyre fitters...

[Andy]

Wish you fellas lived closer to me and I would fit them with out damage to them

I can vouch for that - if anyone is near Richmond N Yorks, maxitrol (Andy) is your man.

Cheers Trev-might pop over to Darlo on sat if your there

Bought 3 sets of wheels and 4 sets of tires from Rtec in St.Albans over the past few years and never experienced this 

From your description sounds like it was definitely damage done there but by not checking before you left you leave yourself open for them to deny it as it wasn't raised at the time 

Good luck in getting it sorted, I've found them to be a nice bunch of guys over the years

Had my winters wheels, Ronal Zolders, put on today and needed balancing. Went to R-Tec in St Albans as they fitted me in at the last minute. Curiosity got the better of me and upon closer inspection, AFTER I GOT HOME  , there are scuffs on the wheels. Not only that but the summer wheels, OZ Ultraleggra's, they took off have also been scuffed. It looks like the scuffs have been made by white tool marks, I rubbed some of the scuffs off which has left primer showing through.   

How would this happen? I've read a couple of threads on here about Costco but they weren't fitting tyres, just balancing the wheels. Beggers belief. What's more annoying they had a couple of new Bentleys sat in the workshop being worked on. Does my car deserve less careful treatment???

I will be calling on Monday to air my grievances   

I've had dealings with them before re wheels. I've heard many bad things and my experience backed it up! Awful place, but guess you know that now!

This is the big worry I have now with the new GTD. It's my first car with diamond cut faces, and I'm extremely anxious that should I have a puncture, or when I come to replace the tyres, my lovely alloys are going to have their diamond cut faces scored with the resulting damage that brings !

[Andy]

Changing tyres on diamond cut alloys is the same as normal alloys as long as your careful and set the tyre machine up properly
