First time I've used these chaps TyresOnTheDrive.com and I'm very impressed.
I needed three new tyres for the QP - two rears worn out, and one damaged front (almost new too
) had to be replaced. These guys were within a quid of MyTyres/Delticom delivery only price, for exactly the same Pirelli Rosso rubber, but that included fitting plus disposal of the old tyres, whereas MyTyres doesn't.
Can't fault the system; I booked them online, got a call with the hour to check I'd picked the right sizes (slightly annoying, but I'm sure they get quite a few people who don't order the correct size), and because I didn't need to prebook a particular slot for yesterday, an email on the day to confirm when the chap would arrive. It costs £4 from memory to book a specific time slot.
Chap turned up on time in a Merc Sprinter, fully kitted out with everything as you might expect, smart, polite, petrolhead - everything that KwakFart and the like are not. The tyres were absolutely brand-new, not old stock - the DOT codes were checked and they were manufactured in week 35 of this year. The fitter treated the rims like Faberge eggs, spent ages setting up to ensure the machines wouldn't damage them during fitting/removal, checked pressures and torque settings with me - the works. It was like dealing with a race team mechanic, who had perfection hard-wired into his brain. After fitting, the wheels were photographed on the car, and the DOT codes recorded into their system before I paid.
Faultless service, and I didn't have to leave the house, nor have to sit in a foul waiting room while a tyre-monkey drove my car and worked out of sight.
