Hello everyone. What do you think about "Tony's tyre service" ?
I been to two different store with my two different cars
First of all, they have very good price on some of brand Second, they are doing very good on custom service
BUT I wanna to say. After both of my car came out from the store, I need spend over hundred and hundred dollars to tidy up they massive job
The stuff , also the manage has very low or no knowledge about cars .
First time of my car, Diesel engine. They blow up my alternator, because of this , most my electrics are blow up. I spend over $500 , still has some problem can't be fixed. Second of my car , not bad. They JUST break a bolt on wheels. Not too bad. Only cost me $80 to fix it.
I swear of my life . I WONT BACK TO THEM ANY MORE!
Any one has similar problem with them?

This makes no sense at all and is grossly unfair on Tony's

How did a tyre shop manage to blow an alternator? Did they fit a battery and connect it backwards or something? They're not a general car repair shop, that requires specialist knowledge and a much broader scope of training that comes at a much higher price than what TTS employees will be working for. Wheel studs breaking, can easily happen due to a previous overtightening, may not have even been their fault.

How does a tyre fitter damage an alternator? The car will be driven onto the hoist and back off again.

Pretty obvious that english isn't your first language but that's ok. Half the locals here can hardly read or write it so you're in good company.
Maybe we can help you out with some advice, what were tony's doing that damaged your alternator? and was it a wheel stud that got broken on your second car?

Start a Diesel engine you need few secs to warm up the fuel spray nozzle. Guess the staff didn't wait that secs when they move my car in

You refer to glow plugs, I've never ever seen or heard of lack of glow plug time before starting up stuffing an alternator. It just takes longer to fire up.

OK so you were talking about glowing the engine. Nope definitely not going to damage the alternator at all. If the alternator died at the same time thats just bad luck unfortunately.

so what did you do the alternator broke while they started it that is possible , but it would have done it even if they did glow it correctly. So what did you do you said its not fixed correctly?

Other thing I don't understand. I plan to update my van s wheel from 16 inch to 20 inch , I may use wrong rim or tyres. So they can tell me which one is good for this update. But I only hear from them is " you can update , that's crazy! Everyone use 20 inch on the car is crazy. " So I guess he only accept factory stand. But don't make sense for me

I don't believe they did at first time. But same thing happened again when a workshop guy did same .

More likely there would have been clearance or fitment issues, or the size difference would no longer be to WOF standard. He was probably trying to do you a favour to make sure your car was still legal and safe for the road

what kind of van are you wanting to put 20 inch wheels on?
intrade,
May 13, 10:08am
you can not change wheel to much larger because your spedometer would be extreem inaccurate like this , you would have to blame them after for all your speeding tickets you would get when you drive 70km in town instead of 50km with wrong size rims and tyre
