motor guy ,the car was sold as fantastic and immaculate. it was not .if it was i would not have had to spend ages telephoning, altering my shift pattens to fit in with the garages timetable, organizing lifts ect .they fixed it ...big deal wow they sold it faulty .

But there was no fault when you bought it.

So why are you complaining about cheaper tyres?

wrong on a few points there jamie .Fault was after a couple of days and only 34 mile plus not kerbed or skidded.Balance weight may have dropped off but 5 times to discover this ??
No wonder I'm after a sweetener

So it was still fine when you bought it.

You got a sweetener... 2 new tyres. And they didn't have to do that.

+1

I would suggest that brand new non premium tyres could well be more effective than worn (and it would appear damaged) premium brand tyres.

Because warranties don't cover tyres.
It does if it makes MY wheels wobble paul

They didn't wobble when you bought it

jamie lets see if i can make this easier for you .
Suppose you buy a fridge and it has a 12month warranty on it OK.now lets say its great for 5 month then one day you open it and your milks warm ...so when you bought it it was great but now its faulty .
well my car was a bit like that ,when i bought it it was great BUT a couple of days later it went faulty ok
Now the man who sold me the car gave me a 3 month warranty ,thats why I claimed under the warranty

But its not like that.

To correct your analogy, it would be like claiming for a dent in the door of the fridge that wasnt there when you bought it.

Tyres aren't covered by warranties, because they only suddenly become defective through wear and tear, or abuse.

And would you expect a sweetener?

Also, you're talking about a NEW fridge - you bought a USED car.

The garage did fix the problem and it was right for them to do so.

HOWEVER, what you asked was - is it reasonable for you to ask for a 'sweetener' for your inconvenience.

The consensus is NO.
