Hi guys
I need to buy a new windscreen (not under insurance) and some new Dunlop Grandtreks to match the original ones on the vehicle. Has anyone had good or bad experiences on price or service in the southern
Sydney region recently?
Thanks
John

Look for something different from the grandtreks. I found they are magnets for punctures and therefore not economically viable. I recently got a couple of Toyo A/T's and they cost me $250 but you could do better than that in the big smoke. They have a 3?ply sidewall rating where as the Dunlops only have a 2 ply rating. They stand up better than the dunlops and hopefully will not get side wall punctures as easily.

Over the years I've had Windscreens O'Brien put new windscreens in two vehicles and repair two others. Have always been delighted with the overall results in respect of quality, workmanship and courtesy. Hope this helps.

John,
I have one brand new Grandtrek if you are interested to suit LC 100 Series. Make me an offer, at least it will be cheaper than the other three. I can deliver for you as
well.

Hi Stuart
I assume the tyre is a 275/70R16. If so, I am interested if we can agree on the price. I have had 4 quotes, all in the $240-$255 range, balanced and fitted. How does $120 sound?
I live in the Sutherland Shire and you can get me on 0408022494.
Regards
John

Hey John,
I will settle for $140 and if you agree I will ring to organise a drop.

Stuart.

Hi John, Collin of Collins windscreens in the Shire might be worth calling, if you are that south.
Sorry no number for him.
