AND the rest.
John is good to deal with have done for years, but Bob (the owner) CHARGES LIKE A WOUNDED BULL!
One day I went in and John was off ill.
I got him (BOB) to fit 4 tyres to 4 rims (all supplied as individual parts) and balance them, and the RIPPED ME OFF $120.
Well as you would expect they lost my business, and I certainly don't recommend them to anyone anymore.

I recommend Wheels World 100%, they aren't cheap but know there stuff. Maybe you should have checked the price first? Ever thought of that?

shows how little you know.
John Fowler used to own it. He no longer does due to financial reasons.
John is employed by Bob, who bailed it out. Bob used to be an employee when John owned it.
This is all happened a few years ago.
Just to clarify any confusion.

Nup, and 100% Nitrogen doesn't burn, 22% Oxygen does. Not that it's an everyday thing that happens to just about any car out on the street or even the track, but on earthmoving tyres it can and does, and when it does, farkn look out!

I had John remove 4 tyres from 4 rims and refit them to 4 freshly painted rims and rebalance.
I had him do it because I know how good he is.
He charged me $66 dollars, I thought this was very good.

Bob charged me (a few months later) $120 to fit and balance 4 tyres.

I'm sorry if you disagree, But that is a F@#ken RIP OFF!!
