Lots have the same size tyres all round (mine included) and I have never had a problem with handling.

That's OK, but it's not up to the garage to decide that for you.

Quite right scanner - its naughty naughty 
But I'd let them off with a warning this time - I daresay they believe they know best

Too right - do they pay the fine or take the points if you get done (unlikely I know) for their "we know better than the makers" attitude.mikeonb4c wrote: But I'd let them off with a warning this time - I daresay they believe they know best
I think not.
I'm just interested to know if it's the local "Bongo Friendly" garage as listed elsewhere on the site.
Surely to warrant being called a "BF" garage they should know better than to "know better".
Q for Muvwitch?
I'm also interested to know what sort of price they charged, PM me if you don't mind telling me the price.
As I need a pair of 215s for the rear sometime.

St. Ives Cambs. Only Bongo one in this area to my
knowledge. Wish I knew whose was the other one
there.
Tyres..............£318 00
Valve..............£7. 80
Wheel Balance.£22,00
Disposal..........£3.56
Also had to have 2 new batteries plus wheel alignment
and passed the M.O.T Plus the excess on the recent
insurance work . What with this and our illustrious
government handing out my details to all and sundry,
we don't need crooks in this country anymore, they
have lost their status!

What on top of the price for the tyres?Muvwitch wrote:Plus labour, of course.
Presumably only One place to Stop in St. Ives then.
I'll check my usual place out in the next village and see if/what they know about Bongos.
