Hi anyone in the area know a good one.
Wasn't impressed with the attitude I received recently from a garage I have used for years so tried a new one.
They ordered in the tyres but couldn't get a jack under the car and were afraid of damaging the bodywork - fair credit to them for not just ploughing on in order to make a buck.

So hunting for another garage but with a 4-post ramp lift !

Not all garages/tyre fitting outlets have low entry jacks, particularly if folks have set a low ride height...for whatever reason.

My tyre place of choice in S'hampton, just runs the car onto a piece of 8"x3" timber to get their jacks underneath my car. Works perfectly fine.

I suggested that but they got twitchy about damaging the "delicate fibreglass".
Fair enough, nice to see a garage care more about the customer's car than their turnover.
