It cost me £280. I feel scammed.

What car you got mate, does it have low profile tyres.?

It is an s Max so they were bigger Tyree. Still a rip off.

There's a guy I work with drives an S-Max

He's a complete bellend too

I can't help but chuckle at your misfortune at being scammed

280 pounds?

I think you were had, but maybe that's normal there. I don't know. I got a nail in my tyre last year and they came over and changed it for about 25 pounds. My car is old though and services are generally cheap here.

Super glue costs less than a pound for five tubes these days. Thats what i did to the last mechanic that ripped me off. His workers could'nt get into his business and had to change all the locks,and I got a good laugh. 4am ,park round the corner well away, walk the block stroll past stop and sort your stuff if a car passes, then when its all quiet with the tubes already open its under one second to pump one into each lock, too easy and fun just dont drop the tubes where you are take them away and get rid of them in a bush,in hindsight disposable gloves would be handy pull off wrap up containers and gloves inside out dump and away no mess.

I didn't realize you were a teenager.
