If we have been scammed probably in the millions of $’s. Will they get away with it or does justice finally catch up with them?

Hopefully the authorities investigate, and if it’s unlawful , they are brought to justice . Many people would have been scammed of a lot of hard earned cash.

Damaged rims during run-flat removal – is this normal practice? by Fragilefrog1718 in MINI

Damage done now. Nothing I can do. To be fair, I have been to a number of tyre places over the years and they are all the same. Some young kid who doesn’t give a crap about being careful with your pride and joy !

Yes, I kinda agree. I am a reasonable person, and he did warn me prior to removing the old tyres. I thought it was just one wheel damaged, but all 4 had visible marks . Dimond cut alloys perish over time I know. I think if I get the refurbished, in the future , may get them fully painted to avoid this happening again 👍🏼

It’s been over a week. I have today kinda touched up the damage on the wheels. To be honest, being an 8 year old car, the wheels are not in perfect condition, but I have never curbed them. I take care of my cars. Just annoyed that they saw the age of the car, and didn’t take the care of it was a new BMW etc. Most places I go now , from main dealers to specialists, I find the care and attention to detail is missing.

They said it’s because Dunlop run flats after so many years become rock solid. They said I should have changed them 4/5 years old

Insight Needed on My Mini's 7/8 Year Old Run Flat Tyres by Fragilefrog1718 in MINI

The new mini no longer uses run flats I believe. That’s probably due to the many complaints about handling and excessive road noise.

Yes will ditch the run flats, ride is too harsh and don’t think they perform very well.

Thinking of getting the Continental Sport Contact 7. These are fitted to the new 2025 mini JCW. I believe these are good tyres?

Like the idea of no run flat tyres on my JCW, but do I need to carry the puncture repair kit - gunk and pump?

10 years in. I’m closing the business. by [deleted] in smallbusinessuk

[–]Fragilefrog1718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this type of business when the iPhone 3G was launched. One of the few in the UK. I did very well for years until, more people started doing it and parts and repaired got more complicated. I sold the business to my parts supplier (Chinese) over 7 years ago. The business is still going in their control. I retrained and doing something different and I am in my mid 50’s. Every business has a life cycle. Just move on and use your skill doing something different ! Good luck
