take one hi all.....long story short.....put fronts on backs and back on front.....then got bobjane to fix a leak in one on the front and balance front...........picked ut up ....neither fixed....still leak and felt like crap on road

take two........this time leak fixed still feel like crap

take three......went back again got them balance again....guy said was 5 grams out must be something else

so i took to cannon toyota in camberwell.....where i get my services etc..spoke to vince pisa the service manager booked it in etc and explained porblems and that i have had the wheels balanced 3 times in last 2 weeks (only payed once) .

Got a phone call at 10:30 this morning.....all done.....tyres were way off........one was 25 grams out and one 10 grams out....massive amount def noticable and was the problem....they also cleaned my discs ans pads etc as they had a build up of crap and were making a bit of noise......all done....feels brand new and cost me 0 $.....i tell ya this guy vince is the bomb......cheap services and free work.

I then rang bob jane and mentioned it to them....they had only recently had their machines calibrated and he was goin to call the guy out again......either that or the worked deliberately did it **** ?......all i know is all work even balancing to be done at toyota camberwell from now on.....

Moral of the story......go with your gut....if ya not happy keep pushing till ya get a result......Bob Jane were helpful although after three attempts could not get it correct

cheers

Bob Jane... Need I say more???

My gf just got rims on her Sportivo and they were out of balance, one side 15 grams and the other 30 grams...

I re-balanced them and now it's all good...

Tyre machines at Major Tyre shops would be used like a sl*t in a brothel so yeah, guess thats why they're always out...

We regularly have our machines calibrated and I'm sure most dealers would do the same...
