Brilliant morning << NOT >> . woke up to that "sagging/ let down" feeling on the Hilux this morning. Wife not happy (because of the flat tyre reason), which made her late for work. Blimin large self tapping screw bolt Popped in to Tonys & they repaired it for FREE (just like they advertise) checked ALL 5 tyre pressures/ refitted wheel/ Torqued nuts/ tyre blacked rubber ;-) Took my flat trailer tyre in later & they did that as well.
Damn good old fashioned SERVICE & with a smile. Yea minor catch of leaving name/addy etc but HEY, .free puncture repairs

Screw was near the edge but POINTING towards the center/inside of the tyre, worker checked with the foreman to be sure it was ok.

Paper junk already has a bin. Wife is a senior csr with a common telco so they won't be happy to hear from her if it goes THAT way.

You don't have to say it, those in the know are fully aware of how the business model works, whether things have changed for the better or worse under B/F control could only be answered by long term staff members I guess.

Well yea, you know that in a perfect world EVERY franchise shop would be run EXACTLY the same EVERY day.
But this is a far from perfect world . Mmmmmm

Surprised no one has mentioned that the free puncture repair and refiting does not include ballencing of the wheel!

Most patchs wouldn't make any difference to the balance & if the operator is doing it right, then the tyre would be placed back in the original marked spot. it's only a sloppy tyre fitter that upsets the balance in most cases.
Any way, who really gives a HOOT, at least you have got the tyre fixed for FREE. Most places charge separately for puncture repair & balance

LOL yea even if that was the case, it still sits higher then most cars & other sad excuses for 4wd/awd

Hahaha so Tonys dont have sloppy tyre fitters! most of them are muppets(not all). Most people would give a hoot when they get up over 70kph and they have a new vibration from the left front lol
