So, and ordered some PC5s, bloke in van turns up, and fits eco contacts, good job I checked.
Simple mix up I thought, the fitter said he must have picked up the wrong ones, so he called base, and and passes me his mobile phone. The chap on the other end said he would do the ecos for £75 a corner fitted. I wasn't confident this was competetive and i wanted the premiums, and so I was like, nah, I ordered the pc5 because that's what I decided Iwanted after quite a bit of research.
This is where I got suspicious, they guy on the phone was all "why do you think they are so much better? They are on the car now"
I became impatient at this point, and said because that's not what I ordered, take them off!
Then he said the premiums were not in Stock and would take 4 days. So I just said whatever, but I'm not paying for tyres I didn't order.
So the fitter put my old tyres back on and was a bit angry. Probably because he didn't get to pocket a few quid from the price difference... He even said, that it was the same tyre, and you'll get about the same mileage out of it, you he said, it's just a different rubber compound!
Not sure if he was trying to pull a fast one or if it was a genuine mistake, but if my tyre was out of stock, and I'm not sure why they would send someone out there with the a cheaper price alternative, and the invoice was also pre printed for the PC5s. And the higher price.
Anyway they say they can get me PC5s from Holland or Germany, or somewhere, but and fit them Friday.
Not sure I trust them now though. Rant over!
