Event Tyres: Fitting in Buckinghamshire Area

Anybody in Milton Keynes – Buckinghamshire area had tyres fitted by Event Tyres recently ??

If so can you tell me the fitter’s name, so I can ask for him, assuming he did a very good job !

Or even tell me names to avoid, so there is no need for this!

Brand New – Expensive - Imported Wheels, so cannot afford any dramas/damage.

THANKS.

I've had Event Tyres several times and they've always taken care of my alloys if I spoke to the fitter politely and made them a nice cuppa. They probably would have done anyway but if you speak to the guy when he turns up I'm sure it will be fine.

Agreed - I've used them many times now, and every fitter has been very careful with the alloys. Top firm

I've only heard good things about them. Just wished they fitted in my area.

I always use Wheels In Motion in Chesham. The have a Boss Touchless Tyre machine.

Your wheel is not touched at all throughout the whole process. I used them when I fitted brand new AMG wheels.

This should be local to you.

Xenon - Parapaul - Big Time,

Sorry for the late response, had a domestic crisis here, first the Heating boiler broke down, then the washing machine broke down , so been a bit "distracted" for a while !!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the re-assuring comments, they have put my mind at rest !

Best wishes,

Michael.

Had a quick look at the link, (see domestic crisis comment in post 6), looks brilliant, will investigate further, only downside is borrowing a van to transport rims in boxes and tyres to Chesham and back.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Michael.

Yeah they don't have fitters in some areas, worth checking from time to time in case they've filled a hole, but their overall coverage is usually pretty good.
