Praise - Watling Tyres

The Catford branch always does me proud - today they charged me a very reasonable 6 notes to fit a tyre I brought in with my rear wheel. Professional, friendly, cheap… what more can you ask for?

they’ve never wanted to fit tyres i have bought elsewhere for me.

It’s the first time I’ve asked them for this specifically - I’ve only been there before for puncture repairs. I phoned up first and they told me 15 quid, which I was happy to pay. Then when I turned up with the tyre and the wheel they got on with it and only charged me £6. I wasn’t having a good day up until then, but I guess I deserved a bit of good luck and the rest of the day was pretty good after that! I’ll be back there again without hesitatation. It’s funny because people on here have recommended FWR, but I never got a good service from them after Tom left. Not everyone gets on with everyone for some reason.

I just bought a set of Road 2’s there and was worried that they were going to scratch my newly powercoated rims but they did a superb job and as a nice little touch they fitted black wheel weights to blend in with the wheels rather than the silver ones you normally get. Top work. :smiley:

Hmmm I used Watling Tyres
several years ago to replace a rear tyre on my ZZR1100.

A young lad done the work and ended up fitting the real wheel with the spacers on the wrong sides so the nuts holding the sprocket on ended up gouging about 1mm of metal out the swingarm.

Took it back to complain and was told that it was not them and I must have done it and for me to proove they done it.

Nice customer service.

Ive used those one before as well, great guys and considering they had to more or less take the arse end of my bike apart to get the wheel off, very reasonably priced.

Since I moved to Bexleyheath, I’ve used their service. Good prices, good service. While you wait.

Now I sounds like a sales man now LOL
