I would like to nominate ATS euromaster for a massive cunting.
I have just had a conversation out of the twilight zone, but lets set the scene for the story.
The company van hit a nail and got a puncture, simple call ATS euromaster and they will be out today or tomorrow…… call the AA and a bloke turns up in half an hour and changes it for the spare.
Roll on a month and I get a purchase order from my company to issue to ATS for the flat, of course the van is out making money for us and ATS turn up.
I asked the chap to fix the puncture but we ran in to a number of problems, The offending article needs to be with the vehicle and they are not allowed to fix tyres on there own……………..but if I want too I can drive to any ATS centre with the spare and they will fix it (and I can even go there with out the vehicle it was removed from).
Well done ATS
Nominated by lord benny
I would like to say that 1 month after this nomination, 3 months since the puncture.
The spare still has a fucking nail stuck in it!

Just another fine example of companies being utterly ridiculous and petty bastards..
The bloke who came out to fix your flat must’ve been a fuking jobs worth cunt too… “Give it ‘ere mate, I’ll sort it out in 10 mins… “.
No, has to be an utter awkward cunt and make life difficult for you, no reason for it.. Cunts

Bunch of robbing Cunts. They persuaded a young girl that I know to get 4 ultra expensive tyres on her little car. Fair enough the front two (although they still had some meat on them and could have been switched with the back ones), but not all 4,and certainly not the dearest ones available. When I went in and asked to see the old tyres,surprise,surprise they’d already been collected for disposal.
I’d drive around on the rims before I got a tyre off them. Thieving Wankers.

The multi ‘one stop’ suspension, tyres and exhaust places are all pretty much robbing cunts …. making as much money as they can. I despise the cunts.
My sister said the other week that she’d need to get her winter tyres off and her ‘summer tyres’ back on her car …. ‘all four of them’
She drives a FRONT wheel drive Focus .. I asked why she had four winter grips fitted, and she could only say that the ‘boss’ in the place said that’s what she needed .. ‘It’s got four wheels hasn’t it ‘ ..he said to her. Cunts.

The usual enquiry goes along the lines of “Is it a company car, Sir?”
When you tell them it is, the price of, say, a tyre inexplicably multiplies. “Sorry, Sir we can’t repair your old tyre as the nail in it is too close to the sidewall, but we can do you a new tyre of £220 + VAT” This was a fucking chump in Kwik Fit in Chadwell Heath. Name and shame the Dick Turpin cunt, I say.
I took the tyre to a local country (independent) tyre place. The guy there didn’t try to flog me a new tyre. “It’s got two nails in it mate, give us a few mins, I’ll have it repaired and on your way”
£15 all in.

Was in Basildon visiting my 96 year old great aunt in a care home about 5 years ago. Fucking terrible place, thankfully she decided she had had enough, stopped eating and drinking and nature took its course soon after.
In my Volvo V70 D5 got a flat immediately after leaving. As “luck” would have it, there was a KwikFit within about 200 yards which you could see from the care home.
Had a tyre replaced not long previously at a local garage, at a cost of £104. Big sign outside Kwikfit saying they were offering 25% off all fitted tyres. Being the cynical sort immediately thought they inflate the price in order to offer the discount.
£160 they said. Fuck me I said, but with the 25% off that equates to about £120? No, the spotty cunt said, that’s AFTER the 25% discount. £200 is the original price. Anyway, after some swearing and haggling they agreed to do it for £130.
Thieving cunts.

Fuck that. Tyres for the old Volvo are 40 quid a pop fitted.

I used to point and laugh at the Swedish Housebrick too, and make jokes about geography teachers with leather patches on their elbows and weirdbeard hippies.
Just hit 200K and still running like a watch…

I used to fantasise about owning a P1800 (the Saint’s car) 😃

Got 4 new tyres for the Unimog, local firm wanted £55 + vat each to swap them over and said they could do job with wheels still on truck, I can now do it myself, greedy feckers.

This months Practical Classics mag, bloke bought an S-Type Jag for £175 as an MOT failure. He took it straight to his usual garage for an MOT and it passed with no advisories. He showed them the fail sheet, tester had another look and didn’t change his mind. Failure was from a national exhaust and tyre chain – didn’t say which one – who’s tester offered to buy it for scrap value.
