ATS tyre replacement

Hi All,

Had 3 tyres replaced by ATS at the end of October, 1 due to wear (nearside front), 2 that appeared to have slow punctures (offside front and rear). A week later the tyre pressure light came back on and the nearside front and offside rear new tyres were low. Topped them up but they have since both dropped twice again.

Called ATS who immediately said it looks like I'd picked up a slow puncture. While I know this is not beyond the realm of possibility this would now be 2 new tyres on opposite sides of the car within days of having them replaced which doesn't seem all that likely.

ATS have booked me in for tomorrow but my concern is that they'll brush off any other possibilities and just charge me for another 2 new tyres!

Does anyone have any advice so I can argue my case as it were?

    Could be loads of reasons, buckled rims, leaky valves, punctures amongst others.

    Why not wait to see what they say before you go in all guns blazing?

    As above. And they won't "just charge me for another 2 new tyres". They may tell you you need two, but you don't have to agree,
