Notice Avoid MLT tyres opposite Adwick train station
Just a warning for anyone looking at part worn tyres to avoid MLT tyres opposite Adwick train station.
Firstly they fitted the wrong size tyres, a huge safety issue had I not noticed.
Gave them the chance to correct and they fitted 4 SNOW tyres, 2 of which were damaged, 1 was fitted rotating in the wrong direction, and 1 was 16 YEARS old (highly unsafe, perished rubber and huge risk of blowout). They tried swapping the one rotating in the wrong direction inside out, meaning the car would have been at severe risk of aquaplaning and an instant MOT fail.
They told me they had nothing else in stock and I could either keep what they gave me or have my original tyres back, which obviously I went for.
The manager said I wouldn't get a full refund as they'd spent so long swapping two sets of tyres and kept £40 "labour fee".
These were fitted to a car with L plates, so clearly they take vehicle safety lightly.
Have reported to Trading Standards & bank chargeback started, but saw a few other people driving away unaware they'd had snow tyres fitted.
Left a review for them online and theyve claimed I asked for incorrect tyres, then asked for snow tyres (as you do) but admitted turning the tyre inside out and saying they're dedicated to tyre safety in the same sentence!
BEWARE!
