Hi all. just after some recommendations. I'm after a tyre fitter that will look after my alloys when the tyres are being changed.

Had a problem recently where the fitter decided it was best to use a tyre lever against a new alloy digging into the metal in the process on both rear wheels! Initially they denied it but after showing them the photos of the wheel i took minutes earlier, they eventually paid up for a repair.

So im after somewhere in South Wales pref Cardiff / Swansea areas that will take care when swapping out a tyre. i know accidents happen but theres no excuse for sloppy work.

Thanks

If you are looking to take your car somewhere then Celtic tyres in Bridgend have looked after mine for years with no issues.
If you want someone to come to you, I can recommend Mike (Willo Tyres) 07908 085370

Another vote for Tyrone at Affordable Tyres2U. Been using him for years and he now sorts the tyres of out for a few of my customers and their high end toys.

I can recommend Mark of MG Mobile Tyres Newport. Top guy and takes good care of alloys. Used him on my bikes and cars and does a perfect job.

All sorted - Jon the gaffer from drivewaytyres.com (local firm) came to do it - not a mark and very diligent. Recommended.

I've never had an issue with balancing tyres or any damage when using Tyrone.
