Had to put the spare on for this customer recently, shocking tbh, kiddy seats in the back as well. Drivers side was the same. Worn through till all the air escaped

Customer ' Why has it gone flat? Does it have a nail in it?'

Me 'Look at it'

Customer 'I'll hav to get some new ones soon then'

Me 'Err, you needed them before christmas love'

Customer 'Well I have been meaning to book it ointo the gargae for a while to have it looked at, it feels funny when I drive it'

Me'Oh Really!'

stupid, would love to see her get pulled for them! there's no excuse for tyres being that worn down
 
Tracking was slightly out also :eek:

Bet she has a 17 year old son who took it out at weekends and did wheelspins all night long.

How could she not notice she had no rubber left never mind any tread.

Scaryy

I had a customer with an Audi TT a few years ago with a similar problem.

Ive had a blow out he said! All 4 tyres were slick and one had let all the wind out.

He said he hadnt had the car long and was going to complain to the garage he got it from.

He eventualy told me he had owned it for 11months and done 19,000 miles in that time. he couldnt understand why they had worn out so quick

You should of given her a dressing down, its against the law after all!

A joke, if she crashed and killed her kids it would be an 'accident.' No, fcuking stupid bloody ignorance! I would of shopped her TBH, not that the police would do anything of course....

Alarming how many flat tyres i see on cars, and it is generally women becuase they simply see a car as a tool. My mum doesn't even know how to get petrol!

My mrs' mum will only ever get petrol from the same petrol station she's always gone to because she says she doesn't know how to work pumps at other petrol stations. I mean... WTF?!
I also have to tell her when her car needs anything doing to it. She actually gets me to take it for a spin round the block every now and again if she thinks something is up with it..

True a couple of years ago I was in the car with my dad and a women in a clio dynamique was driving on a flat.

Half a mile down the road she's still driving and smoke is pouring off it as she is trying to go at the lights.

So we shouted her to pull over in the car wash by the lights we got out and we where like you've got a flat tyre you need to change it look at the smoke etc your going to destroy your car.

She responds with "I've put the right petrol in" we where like ffs look at the wheel thats where the smoke is from.

:S Its beyond belief how thick so people are.

Thats beyond belief!

When i used to work in a petrol station this woman had a flat tyre and had driven on it until the wall had gone.
She had a spare tyre though which was lucky, but it JUST the tyre, no wheel lol
