BEWARE / Avoid - www.mytyres.co.uk - awful company

Morning All

I just wanted to make you all aware of the details of my recent attempted tyre purchase from www.mytyres.co.uk who I can only say are an awful company with no customer service skills or interest in getting a good reputation.

I ordered some tyres from them early last week and also used their online functionality to book an appointment at my selected garage for fitting, I got confirmation of everything and the tyres were meant to be fitted today, however I called the garage to confirm everything yesterday to be told that no booking was placed and that they had received no tyres even from mytyres and recommended I call them.

I called Mytyres to be told the emails confirmation was wrong and that I need to call and book the appointment myself with the garage (but this was not the issues), the issue was that they still nearly 7 working days later have not even passed the details to the warehouse to dispatch the tyres and when I asked why I was told that they just hadn't.

Then to add to the issue I asked when these will be dispatched and was told as follows:

"The tyres will be dispatched soon, I can't tell you when but when they are we will let you know.."

I requested a call back with a real update later that day and was told I would receive one, but this was not the case, I had to call again myself and was then told they had no stock of the tyres I ordered and that they would be shipping them as soon as they receive stock...

I cancelled the ordered and got the money back (obviously) but would highly recommend that this company are avoided at all costs as their customer service is non existent, their stock is clearly not as shown both on the site and ebay (as the tyres I wanted are also being sold by them on ebay and it says they have hundreds of them, I only wanted two so how they can say this is unreal).

That's an unfortunate experience mate, I have to say I've never had a problem each and every time I've ordered from them the tyres have turned up on time and as ordered.

in fact I've got two new ones sitting in the hallway that I just ordered for my Saab.

Myself and Anthony have ordered a fair few from this company and to date haven't had any issues . Let's hope the same as your experience doesn't happen to anyone else.

Have to say I've never had a problem with them either, but I've only had tyres supplied, not booked in for a fitting.

No I'd never use there tire fitting service either, I think I tried to arrange through them once but the garage was useless so just went to quick fit but they've priced themselves out of the market now, These days my local garage chucks them on and balances them for £40 for all four.

What ever happened to the good old days when you just went down quick fit and bunged one of the fitters a tenner to fit them ?, Nothing has improved these days that for sure because we live in a world of rip off bastards and jobs worth's.

I did talk to a tyre place about them once (seeing as the price they were quoting me was more than mytyres or blackcircles), and they said it was just a pain in the arse for them. - I took it with a pinch of salt since they were clearly trying to sell the benefit of being my tyre supplier rather than the online business.

Seems like all the tyre places around here won't fit rubber they haven't sold.
