Melbourne Tyres?

Never Never Never will I use Melbourne Tyre again!

Despite I can see the nail, he insisted I had to change my tyre. Installed a tyre which has a different load and speed ratings to the rest of the 3 tyres and charged me ?85 for a unbranded tyre, made in Thailand, without receipt. My car ESP signal came up very soon after as the tyre is not compatable with the rest.

Even a michelin at Kwik fit will cost less than ?80 including fitting!!!

Why didn't you ask for a receipt?


If you have problems, you have no proof of purchase.


Though I would never use the ED Kwik Fit again, as suggested above. They were rude and unhelpful when I went there a few months back, or at least the person I spoke to was.


I got the tyre replaced at a really helpful and efficient little place in Oxford.


Not very convenient if the replacement is time critical though!

We used MT once...they did an OK job..but refused to give a receipt when asked. We now go to KF and find them very good. The last time we went for what we thought might be a new tyre but the guy who served us showed us the point where a screw had pierced the tyre and repaired it/checked it out without fuss or scaremongering.

All I can say is I had the opposite experience. I went in with a flat tyre caused by a nail and asked for a new tyre but he said no need for a new one, I can fix that hole for you for ?15.


That was earlier this year and tyre has been fine since then.

    • How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't he just be struck off, or the equivalent?
    • There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
