Title: Tyre City, Guildford. Brilliant!
Post by: Mk5 GTian on November 04, 2012, 07:38:18 am

Any Surrey boys out there, or peeps from surrounding counties, I can thoroughly recommend these guys. The place is pristine, with all the latest equipment. They stock pretty much every tyre you can imagine, it's massive! And you could eat your dinner off the floor!!

First they agreed to match the dirt cheap Camskill price (which is tyre only) and then added 15 a corner for balancing, new valves, fitting and promised a free alignment check.

Then when I asked them to be really careful  with my wheels, they agreed to look  over my wheels with me, agree any existing damage, and promised that the wheels would leave in exactly the same condition, or refurbishment costs would be met. You can't ask for fairer than that!

They have a nice waiting room full of old copies of Performance VW, and do good coffee!!

Won't be going anywhere else in the future. Anyt Costco saving I'd have made would have been lost in fuel travelling to either Croydon or Reading, It sounds like your rims are in danger from some of the feedback I've had, so I'll be buying locally from these boys in future.  :happy2:

Excellent stuff, thank for posting that Ian. Am only 25 miles away from there so it will definitely be my port of call in the future. I worry more about my wheels than the price of the tyres TBH.

Pleasure mate. That's what the forum's for after all. Sharing good and bad experiences so we can flock to a good place, or swerve a bad one!  :happy2:

Ian, I'm glad you got them sorted in the end  :happy2:

I also heard about the negative feedback on Costco fittings, but I can definitely say I had no issues from the fitting at Costco Croydon, like you I made sure they were fully aware of protecting my wheels before going ahead, and they did a great job  :drinking:
