I've heard about and read on this and many other forums more than enough horror stories to fill me with dread, woe and caution about people who have taken their car to their local tyre shop and discovered that little to zero care has been taken by the tyre fitters and their rims have been scratched/marked/damaged when the tyres were fitted, centre caps broken, over or under torqued wheel nuts, wheels not properly centred on the hub, incorrectly balanced wheels causing vibrations and poor wheel alignments causing the car to pull to the left or right etc etc and the list goes on.
While there are plenty of them between a 5 and 20 minutes drive from my home, I'm not prepared to just rock up to the nearest
Bob Jane/Goodyear/JaxQuikfit/Tyrepower/Bridgestone/Tyres R Us place and then hope and pray all goes okay and they get it right. I have to admit to being fairly fussy and particular when it comes to any work done on my car so I'm just not prepared to take that gamble/risk and particularly not with a very expensive set of new rims.
So can anyone recommend an ultra professional wheel and tyre fitting specialist place in Canberra? Preferably a place that you, or someone you know well, have recently used and were 100% happy with and that you would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone else?
