What a scam not being able to organise your own repair,just a money making scam.im shocked vosa aint started it yet
If you’re running abroad and you can’t change a wheel and tyre then you shouldn’t be running abroad. As for having them nicked, then chain them on and padlock them, and make sure spare only has about 2mm of tread so isn’t worth so much.
Harry Monk:
I was told by a Frenchman that a tyre fitter in France earns as much as a Doctor. Don’t know if it is true, but with the amount charged for a call-out, it wouldn’t surprise me.
Mobile tyre fitters in the UK are on a good screw. Even a force 10 blizzard at 3am won’t wipe the smile off his face.
If you clear £200 per night on that work, It’s a pretty bad night. They can earn a lot more.
