in my case, first with me, where the fitter chipped off chunks from my perfect alloys not just one but all five wheels!!! ok no big deal. secondly was my brother and different branch bob jane tmart and this is scary because three days after fitting new tyres we headed off and reached our destination 600k later. now it was time to get into 4x4 to explore some and there was a most hideous noise coming from the front diff?? after much time assesing what could be wrong we decided to
check the brakes we thought maybe something rubbing the wheel, brake whatever, to my amazement the left hand front wheel was loose and only two out of six wheel nuts holding the wheel, how it stayed on during the trip is beyond me. now it turns out the idiot who fitted the wheels did so with the air gun staight on the stud threading six nuts and rooting four studs beyound repair which was later replaced by bob jane. now this could have been a fatal holiday for my brother and may be some one innocent. nothing happened except inconvenience, but i wonder about the credibility / quality control of bob jane tmarts.

Got some tyres and wheel for my 4wd and was very pleased with the service from Bob-Jane. However my commodore needed some new rubber and upon driving it
home noticed a knocking feel/sound coming from the
suspension. At first they told me there was nothing wrong, but after leaving it with them to fix. The knocking had gone, but they said they found nothing wrong Amazing. I wonder what it really was? Glad they fixed it but it was an inconviece. Know of another case like yours Charl, chipped mags and over tightned nuts. Poor workmanship is all it comes down too.

i agree it is poor workmanship BUT anyone who dosent
check there wheel nuts themselves befor leaving the
shop aint to
bright themselves because you not only get loose nuts but they can just as easyly be overtight
