Went to pick up tyre, told to come back Monday. Mildly annoyed.

**Steam** · 9th February 2008, 11:51

Well that's my plans for the weekend down the drain.

Made an appointment to get tyres changed.
Dropped wheels off.
"Will they be ready by closing today?"
Yep definitely mate, come in at lunchtime and pick em up.

Came in at lunchtime after driving an hour to get them.
Tyres not ready. Sitting beside the changing machine.
Ah sorry mate, got a bit distracted, can you come back monday?
"I don't really have a choice about that, do I now."
ARG!

On the scale of annoying things, that's about a 3 out of 10. But still, annoying.
What do I do with my weekend now?

Chase pussy.

**jrandom** · 9th February 2008, 12:06

"No, I fuckin' can't come back Monday, you lazy cunt. I'll just sit here now and watch you fit the tyres, shall I?"

Works every time.

Surprised you didn't just say that, to be honest...

Agree put them on the spot and demand the work is done
You asked if they could do it and what time they would have it done by
You are within your rights to demand the work is done to THEIR qoute!

Well man, bad service means next time ya go somewhere else...is there another place to go in dunners?

on a side note steam...there was a good doco on last night about trains

**scracha** · 9th February 2008, 12:24

Obviously you'll be naming and shaming the shop once your tyres have been done on Monday?

**oldrider** · 9th February 2008, 12:44

Have to agree Steam, you are failing us all when you let bad service go unchallenged.

They fucked you around and spoiled your weekend so make sure that they have to wait (appropriately) for your money!

Make them

for it but make sure they understand "WHY".

Cheers John.

I would demand to see the manager and tell the prick that you will only pay half for the shoddy service and will tell the next 10 poeple about the business.
You are within your rights as went to a restuarant years ago and waited nearly an hour for our first entree!!! At the end saw manager and agreed to pay for half of full meal. It works.
Cheers Iggy

Could be worse - I chap I know went into a shop with his FZR and they they put a rear tyre on his front wheel - with the tread the wrong way to boot!

Still, after putting 8,000km on it, they gave him a new front tyre for free next time he went in to get a set. :P

**barty5** · 9th February 2008, 13:24

shit sitting beside the machine not like it would have taken them that long to do while you waited not like they were doing them by hand. hell i would have sat waited dont forget to take out the cost of extra fuel and time for havin to go back.

Whatever you can get away with aye?

I prefer to just no longer do business with them and spread the word. Unless they start costing me money.

Er... I didn't want to say, but now two people have asked me if it was them. Yes, it was.
Do they make a habit of this kind of thing?
I'm just newly back in Dunners, what's the best shop to use?
