Buying tyres from camskill, where to get them fitted?

[Karl]

haha, are the people actually real? Do you see them walking around etc? lol

I just checked on the HIQ website and when I typed in my postcode, it said that there are none in my area. It didn't say how far the closest one is though :s

Yes, they are and existed beforehand. That Sam girl plays up to being thick. She was in the studio the other month and seemed quite normal to me - so much so had the cheek to invite me to my local pub just because they film there.

Can you not just check YP's for local tyre fitters and give them a call? Or is the issue more entrusting someone to do it?

It's basically finding someone that will fit 2 tyres for under £20 and that won't scuff up my alloys. Sounds simple but, unfortunately, it's not.

I know someone

Karl's nearer you than he is me - probably by 20miles. But you have to start asking at what point is it beneficial?

Like all prostitutes, do clients go back because the service is good? Or cheap? :lol:

ATS? They get it straight in as they never have work

Would never take a car there :s

Station garage tyres on the other side of the tracks from Brian

Easier in that case just to go there as they could get it on the ramps right away.. At brians would have to hope there wasn't an mot/service going on plus his mot testers stalled my 1.2 3 times before getting it into the test bays so I don't trust them

Who was it the oldish chap ?

Update:

The tyres arrived from camskill within 48 hours of ordering, which was pretty impressive.

I called over 20 local garages and 90% of them quoted over £18 per wheel. I ended up paying £50 for the two tyres to be fitted and for the tracking to be done.

The tracking was quite badly out and the car was pulling to the right. Now it's been fixed, the car goes in a straight line/very slightly left, as it's supposed to. The only problem is that the steering wheel doesn't seem to be in sync with this, when I hold the steering wheel dead straight, the car goes slightly right. It's purely an aesthetic problem but it's probably going to get on my nerves, so I might take it back to be sorted. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it an easy thing to put right?

To line the steering wheel up will be hard as its fitted on splines. To be far it ill be harder then you thing for it to ever be lined up dead straight

I'm not expecting it to be perfectly straight, but it should be about right.

How far out is it then ?

 

[Al]

I'd take it back - changing the tyres and sorting the tracking out (it wouldn't have been that much out from factory and under 3 years use unless you tapped it) shouldn't cause the steering wheel to be drastically off centre.

Talking of steering wheels, how's yous now it's lowered?

Ha. Ha. Ha. I only ask as lowering it tends to cause the steering wheels to be slightly off centre.

 

[Karl]

I normal knocks the tracking out when lowering a car

 

[TURBO]

lowering it shouldnt affect the steering.
however it will prob blow thro tyres coz of the new camber/castor issues!!

I ended up taking it back to them earlier today and a different guy had a look at the tracking, he then adjusted it, which has now fixed it
