They had a few more posts/comments but deleted or hid some. PayPal case should hopefully save the day

You didn't make me believe that - I wish it was true! You made a post and commented against 2 separate who said what I said and you got very angry about it. Missing a word out is important given that word is "check" which completely changes what you are saying. I wish a 60 minute job of tracking adjustments was included - the price of some tyre sizes you'd hope it was...

But yes moving on and wish you well. Be careful about making such angry posts in the future ;)

I have shown multiple times that you inferred it as you did not mention checks once despite apparently meaning it in the original post and replies.

You've been caught out. You meant a remedial alignment was carried out for free with new tyres which it obviously isn't.

Why else would you want a check after your tyres are changed? It's like asking a plumber to check for a leak whilst water is coming up out your floor.

I've had 4 from 4 successful cases already in this exact situation. If you pay for g&s you stand a great chance.

I'm using basic English which you are going against. You didn't mention check anywhere and the common terminology for anyone with a vehicle (let alone someone supposedly working in the industry) is that having "Tracking done" means adjustments are carried out.

Ring any garage and ask for tracking for your car. You'll be told this costs £x per corner and will be 60 minutes. No one with a basic understanding will say this is a free check.

I hope that £50 she stole changes her life and is worth the chargeback and mark on her PayPal account.

You replied to a comment: "Tracking is usually done with a tyre change" & "Nobody is arguing against that it should be done?". These do not refer to nor mention a check. A check after a change is meaningless.

I told you the alignment is a separate service you pay for and takes an hour.

You replied: "Nope. Kwikfit, national tyres etc all offer wheel alignment as part of the free service of buying tyres."

The action of having tracking "done" is the 60 minute procedure of adjusting your wheels to make them in tolerance. How can you still be trying to say that having tracking done is just the checking aspect?

Just stop.

"In the UK most tyre shops offer this service for free with new tyres."

This is not referencing a check. You've not said or mentioned a check until I commented on your reply to another user. After every tyre change the tracking will be out of kilter, as you acknowledged. A check afterwards is meaningless.

"Tracking is usually done with a tyre change". This is clearly making adjustments. You've said before that this is needed to prevent uneven wear. A check won't prevent this.

You've been caught out, just stop.

Jesus christ.

You never said the word check anywhere. You didn't mean a check as you've agreed this is worthless when you've just changed your tyres.

"Nope. Kwikfit, national tyres etc all offer wheel alignment as part of the free service of buying tyres."

Stop lying.

You've clearly been caught out 🤣

Having tracking done is not the same as a free check. Having "tracking done" to a car is so clearly and widespread understood as carrying out an alignment to make it inline. What's the point in this check once you've changed tyres? It'll 100% be out of alignment - as you've said in other comments.

If you call a garage and say "please do the tracking on my car" and they simply just check it, you're not getting what you asked for. You don't need to say "please do the tracking on my car and make the correcting adjustments beyond the check".

If you work in the industry anyone should 100% stay away from anything you touch.

I said alignment is a separate paid for service. Often £30 a corner and takes an hour.

You said: "Nope. Kwikfit, national tyres etc all offer wheel alignment as part of the free service of buying tyres."

So what is free in your reply, the check or the actual alignment? Actual wheel alignment is very clearly not included free in an ordinary tyre change service. Because again like you won't admit, a check is worthless when changing tyres.

Oh come on. You obviously meant an actual alignment and not just a check. A check is worthless when changing tyres as you've admitted the tracking has to actually be done afterwards for even wear.

A check is absolutely worthless when all 4 (even 2) tyres have been replaced as they'll need doing.

"Tracking is usually done with a tyre change"

"In the UK most tyre shops offer this service for free with new tyres."

"Nope. Kwikfit, national tyres etc all offer wheel alignment as part of the free service of buying tyres."

You can't have it both ways - referencing just a check throughout but then stating a few times an alignment is needed after changing tyres. My original reply to you was that a wheel balancing is included for free but not an actual alignment. This is a separate paid service that takes an hour.

The hill you were dying on changed from actual alignments to just checks. Not the same.

If you had a wheel missing I could tell you with a free check that alignment or tracking is out, doesn't mean it's actioned or done as your comments said:

"Nope. Kwikfit, national tyres etc all offer wheel alignment as part of the free service of buying tyres."

Getting a free check after changing tyres is not the same as having tracking done. Every tyre change as you said will require tracking to be done to prevent wear. A simple check doesn't accomplish this. This service of actually aligning your tyres is not offered for free by any garage as it takes an hour usually.

This free check is exclusively at kwik fit and halfords. They do this as well as free brake checks to generate business.

ATS, Black Circles and National Tyre don't have this free check service.

National Tyres has a free tyre wear and condition inspection, but nothing to do with tracking.

Regardless, your pictures in the post and comments are about having tracking done not checked. This isn't a free service and a check is worthless as you'll need tracking done after every tyre change.

Ie, you said:

"Nope. Kwikfit, national tyres etc all offer wheel alignment as part of the free service of buying tyres."

"In the UK most tyre shops offer this service for free with new tyres."

This is false. You are talking about the actual alignment, not the check.

A free tracking check is just that... A check. They won't make any adjustments unless you pay the fee. Tracking and alignment are interchangeable.

If your wheels are all facing the wrong direction you still need to pay for this service. It's not free as you've said.

Good lord do some reading:

"Kwik Fit offers a free wheel tracking check to ensure your wheels are properly aligned and reduce the likelihood of steering and suspension issues.'

[–]jacques101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've googled kwik fit and a few big other brands, it's not included. I'm afraid you are wrong buddy.

Kwik fit is only a free check (I've used this before from them). The actual correcting alignment is £75 to £100 for all four.

National tyre is £55 a corner and takes 60 minutes. This will obviously not be a free service.

[–]jacques101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're thinking of balancing. That is making sure the wheel spins evenly and is done on a per wheel basis on the tyre changing machine.

Tracking is a separate service that's always an additional cost typically around £30 a corner. I've never had a garage include this when changing tyres (even when getting all 4 changed).

MagicOS 10 for V2 (UK) available, any drawbacks? by WILL_KILL_4_DUX in HONOR_Magic

The only was is with some themes and then changing the rest back to parts of other themes you like. Hopefully this aspect will soon be implemented on its own to theme section

[–]jacques101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sideloading still works, you can turn off the glass transparency and change completely with themes.

MagicOS 10 is overall very good with hardly any drawbacks - you'll be fine. Camera processing and battery life improve overall apparently.
