DON't go to TTF Dandy..... I can guarantee at the very least they'll snap your wheel studs off... (Nissan wheel studs snap easily, especially with a heavy-handed rattle gun that they will use no matter what you tell them). They are shocking - scratching rims, not knowing how to balance tyres.

My mate bought rims & tyres from them unknowingly, ended up with around 85 grams worth of weights just on one corner... Still wasn't right, took it somewhere else and that tyre ended up with a single 10g weight on it to make it perfect.....

yeah dun go ttf

im stupid and went there to change my rear tyres

after they fitted it the rear right wheel was making a clicking sound when i was cornering hard

had to take it back to them

and i was also stupid enough to go to them for wheel alignment

biggest waste of 65 bucks ever

i told them to check and fix the camber on the rear wheels

they didnt even align the rear wheels, they told me they cant do it cos its 4ws after the alignment

and they didnt even do a good job, the alignment is prolli worser now, my steering wheel i in worse position than before

man and they dun have guarantee on their alignments

gay!

never going there to get anything put on

ill jus buy their tyres and take it somewhere else to put on

and yeah inasnt the beaurepaires there near ttf

are they good? will they fix my camber?

you will be surprised of how many doggy tire places there are out their......When I had my old car I had just finsihed getting 4 new wheels with balance as well. The very next morning I was due to get Gas put in my car. The guy that was fitting the gas needed to take my rear tire off to put a gas pipe in and he couldnt get the nuts loose....Fu...ing air guns the tire place used isnt quite user friendly.

If you look at them from their point of view, the air guns they use make life alot easier for them. Now every time I get new wheels or a balance, I dont get in done unless I am allowed to be in the workshop watching....

(health and safety my ass) I keep a safe distance so I can see whats realy going on.

(Goodyear tire and Auto Service) Is where I got mine done last, Are they still around???

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
