Hey all,

Just wanna let u all know (especially the people in Sydney) DO NOT Go to JAX TYRES at Thornleigh. The MANAGERs SUX!

just today, had to swap my alloys with steels (nuts were provided by me), at first they were going to charged me $30 :blink: , negotiated with him and he said "ill see how long it will take" :angry: long story short, at the end I paid $20 for a 4minutes job.

When my brother took his Supra there for a new set of tyres, they took it a test drive after, BUT when he took his OLD BOMB Civic for a new set of tyres they DIDN'T take it for a test drive and gave the keys to him. <_< :blink: Aren't they supposed to take it for a spin, check the tyres are properly fitted and balanced? (oh man, these guys reminds me of K-Mart Auto at Castle Hill, they too are CRAP! took my car for a 15mins drive, with AIR COND ON)

months before this, I asked Bridgestone Waitara to swap my steels with the alloys and they did it for FREE :toast: (They even told me that i'm missing a ring for one of the alloys).

I'm so NEVER going back to that shop AGAIN! I gave me one more chance today thought they've changed but I was wrong.....

They have to make something off the work that they're doing otherwise they won't last long in Business...

$20 is pretty cheap for a wheel swap for someone who's just walked in off the street...

Most tyre shops won't take cars for test drives unless they do wheel alignments...

Just wondering if Waitara did it for free last time, why didn't you go there again???

And if you don't wanna pay for a wheel swap then get out your jack and wheelbrace lol...

I didn't have time, as this afternoon was my only free time for this week. I was planning to go there, but traffic was horrible. I was thinking of doing it myself, but our driveway still wet from the rain and its as steep as mt everest. Plus im jst too weak n lazy...

and yeah they did wheel alignments to the two cars.... <_< suss....

LOL dude I would have just gone for the wheel brace and trolley jack option too... You didn't have time but you drove all the way to a tyre shop to get it done?

Hahaha it's funny they took the Supra for a tester, didn't even try to make it inconspicuous!

Mabe its just Jax anywhere then. I very recently spent $1850 on new rims and tyres at a Jax Quick Fit. After driving my car for a day it felt really weird so I took it to my local Beaurepairs to have it checked (the Jax store is a hour drive from me and I didnt want to drive that far how it was). After checking my car it was found that no one of the tyres had the same pressure in it as well as ....

Rear Axle individual toe left - +3.3mm, right - -0.3mm

Front Axle individual toe left - -2.9mm, right - +5.0mm

Beaurepairs was horrified at how bad it was. I am heading to the Jax store this week to have a few words and will NEVER be going back. :angry:

Paid $55 for one according to the invoice. I agree though, they couldn't possibly have done one, just charged me for it. <_<

well i just got an insider news....

my friend he used to work for JAX TYRES, you know how you can fill up your tyres with nitro.... well if you ask them during the busy peak, they'll probably will fill you up with normal air.... even though you paid $3/tyre.

the shop where this person used to work, they do it regularly. The best day to get it done is monday, as its the quietest.... Just a tip from this person. :)

Yeah that wouldnt surprise me. I reckon Jax charged me for a wheel alignment and didnt to that either. Jax in NQ charge $8 a tyre for Nitro. <_<

Lol. :D All I can say is I will never, ever go there again. Found another prob today, we went to take my wheels off to paint my calipers and we couldnt get them off. They had tightened them so much with the rattle gun that we had to go find someone that had one to get them off. :angry:

Lucky I didnt get a flat somewhere...I wouldnt of been able to change it :(

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
