Default Tyre fitters

Anyone recommend a top notch tyre fitter, I am having new wheels soon and don't want some monkey to wreck them before they even see the car

I'll probably go to Harris Bros (behind old vetch field, Swansea) to get tyres put on my OZ's. Thing is most tyre fitters have kit that's well used, think it's down to the individual fitter rather than the depot as it were. I'm just going to state that my wheels are unmarked and each will be checked before and after fitting. If there are no guarantees then I'll go elsewhere until I get them to agree to fitting with a damage free guarantee.

Give Harris Bros a call and check first, speak to Simon (the manager) and explain, I'm sure all will be ok.

So, what wheels are you going for Rich?

I use Harris brothers too but the one in Fforestfach. Never had a problem there with damage. Most of the guys there understand fitting tyres to alloy wheels

Simon,
Try two things mate;
1. Check out prices on camskill's website
2. Ring your namesake (Simon) at Harris Bros (behind vetch) to get some prices, you maybe surprised fella.

Pontypridd, if you know the area it's up Power Station hill turn left towards the Hospital and Roadrunner is about 2/3 of a mile down that road on the right.
