Spare Tyre? Go to Bury Tyre Centre

Now this place is hopeless if you're trying to diet - the food's appalling but they've rescued me again with my tyre problems - and fitted me another battery at a very reasonable cost. I've sung their praises before - they seem a friendly, non-exploitative bunch who don't patronise women either. I once went to a sneering lot on Fornham Road to get an exhaust changed - the boss wasn't too bad but as soon as his back was turned, three of his workers put something on the computer screen in the reception area which must have been porn, judging by the noises they were making. Of course I didn't get up to take a look - they could have been doing it deliberately, but no way in the world would I ever go back there.

Bury Tyre Centre does have a good reputation for being one of the cheapest round here when it comes to tyres, but they couldn't help me with my actual wheel, which was totally rusted. They asked me if I drove a lot in water (?) and advised me to go to the breakers yard for a replacement.

I know the place you mean on Fornham Road. I never used them, but others at work reckoned they purposely damaged the rubber gaiters on steering etc., so next visit they could tell you the dirt had got in and damaged it so you had to replace parts.
