I told them this and they did not believe me, in fact ever since I told them I have heard nothing from them and they always reply within 5 mins of posting, that was 4 hours ago!!

If you have a car with high dollar alloys you need to make sure the tyre guy knows the plan, when I had the original Run Flat tyres changed they were not easy to remove. I know the owner of Tyre Plus at my location and he had one of his experienced guys perform the job. When fitting the tyres back after the wheels have been coated it could be an issue if the tyre guy is a novice and marks the outer lip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was their message to me. So I took their advice and went to Mae Rim. However, I must say, they were excellent at the Mae Rim branch and Richco have been very attentive and professional so far.

I'm taking mine there on Monday now, was it easy to find, I have a map but I don't really know the area, it appears to be close to the turnoff for the Elephant camp etc, is that the case, and is it on the way in or do you have to do a you turn?

ThaiPauly Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I think they look great, can't wait to get mine back now. The owner of the garage said I needed 4 new tyres as well ( well he would I suppose) anyway after agreeing a price he rang back and said he would not be getting them for 3 weeks and offered no alternative coice. I was a bit concerned about this and when I got home I checked on the internet and the tyres on our car are supposed to be good for 50k on the tyres they have (Dunlop) our car only has 20k! I paid 1,000 baht more than you, I got him down from 10k but he said my wheels were quite big, eg more time and paint, but I am happy with 9k I suppose. Congratulations on your fine looking wheels, would like to see them on the car now. PS When did you deliver them to Mae Rim and how many days to get back?
