How was your experience with them?

This worked today for me

Thanks it worked today.

Booked, thanks op. Without checking the box for oil disposal, doesn't that mean you have to dispose it yourself?

Thanks

No mention of a mot and wheel alignment for £15 on the website!

These muppets cant even fit tyre correctly and are liars...

try to get a alignment done for £15 yesterday.
they checked my car out, and told me they can't do it because of worn bushes and damaged drop link/ stabiliser that need to be done or it will affect the alignment. in order to get the alignment done, i need to get all the problem fix first.
fair enough i thought to my self, then they gave me a quote for two drop links (one on each side), almost £50 each, and 2 front lower wish bone, each costing £260. so it will cost me well over £600 to get this alignment done.
i think i will repair the car myself before getting this alignment done.
i've just ordered both side of the front wish bone from ebay, each costing £33.10 and i'm still looking for the drop link (probably around £15). if i'm sucessful, i'll save myself £500.
for people not able to fix their car themself, they should get more than 2 quote, not just from national tyres. or you will get rip off.

Many places are free to check alignment but charge up to £50 to adjust it. 4 wheel alignment is better (when alignment can be adjusted on the rears or it can detect problems) but I've only ever owned one car where rear adjustment was possible. Although it wasn't noticed by the garage that checked it, I realised my rear axle was shot on my 106 when 4 wheel alignment was tested.
Great deal if you suspect yours needs adjustment.

I'm going on Friday to see if they honour it .

scam i remember when this was not charged for in fact it did not exist!

so down to about 40% more than everyone else!

NOPE RIP OFF they charge £80 for budget tyre buy one get one free so £40 each then the 10% is the tyre only not the valve tyre removal blah blah blah COLD for me

Luckily I was firm with them, and I didn't pay. One of them was a bit hostile, but I knew they were lying and wasn't going to be taken for a ride.

My understanding was that they were always bias towards the left, but not that much. If I let the wheel go, mine goes perfectly straight.

Then you just tell them to feck off. National fitters, in my experience, need to be watched when fitting and balancing new tyres. Balancing the wheels after fitting new tyres seems to be something of a lost art when it comes to National. I would be a bit concerned about a wheel alignment, even if free. Cos if it is done wrong your tyres will be fecked very soon.
I have used Tyreshopper for my tyre purchases for many years, and National do the fitting. But you really do need to watch them when fitting your tyres and balancing your wheels.

Not true. I have used national for last 3 years, 2 times a year. No additional work other than that requested.

What's your empirical evidence?

I had to have two new tyres fitted. I arrived at the Royal Well Depot and was treated in an almost unbelievable fashion. I was treated with the utmost courtesy and proffessionalism. My tyres were fitted in record time, and I can only say that this particular Depot are a credit to the National organisation. I have regularly used this particular Depot in Cheltenham and will continue to do so. I will also continue to recommend National Royal Well to all my friends.

I had my car balanced yesterday and no other faults were found although i did not use a voucher! But they were very helpful! And the price for balancing came to £29 inc VAT

They are cowboys and will find something else wrong with your car and charge you for it if you are stupid enough to believe them.

yeh some of these places are at it big time! got a new tyre today £58 on tyre shopper, National Tyres who fitted it price was over £80

splatsplatsplat

would you need valve replacement if the tracking is out?

You'd need a full exhaust system if they suss that you have no clue about cars or trcaking

whats balancing and valve replacement? i am clueless about car repairs

I have had track rod end replaced. After replacement I visited National Tyres to get wheel alignment done. During test drive I noticed my steering wheel is 2-3 degrees to the right side. So I went back to correct it. After check up they said there was nothing wrong and couldn't give me any idea for solution. ''They'' said it might be due to new tie rod end (needs to settle in, hehe). I realised my camber is out as well. They could not confirm this diagnosis of mine. Now I had to go somewhere else to correct this problem. Very same day camber was corrected. So I went back to National Tyres for alignment correction. After that visit I could not feel control in offside front wheel ( same one with fixed camber problem). My mechanic could not find any problem in my steering system. Little percent in me believed that track rod end must settle in (even my mechanic said its not a matter). After driving my potentially dangerous car for a few days I have decided to go to get alignment in a place with professional staff and equipment. I have had to pay again for the same thing after 5 days. After putting my car on their device readings showed 0.01 in a left wheel and 0.18 in the right one. It took them not more than 2 min to get it sorted. After I took it for a drive it was spot on, car goes straight and wheel is straight too. Great Job.
Next day I went to national tyres to claim a refund. They refused to pay. They said their readings were accurate and everything was done properly.
They also said they have done 60 cars in this week and only mine was making a problem. They just proved how useless they are with no required skills.
No wonder every mechanic was telling me to avoid National Tyres.
Well, a BIG lesson for the future. Avoid this company if you care about your safety.
Do not let them tempt you with their cheap service, it's useless.
Thank you.

Shockingly poor service in the Doncaster branch. Bought a new tyre and when I got it home and was about to fit it to the car I could hear a hissing noise as if was leaking air.

Drove back and pointed it out to them and they took it inside and within seconds they came back with it saying there was nothing wrong with it at all and told not to worry...

Got it home again (still hissing) and fitted it. The next morning the tyre was as flat as a fart and had to go back again and was told that it was probably because of my alloy which was really worn and there was nothing for the tyre to 'grip' to (they said nothing of this the day I bought it). I asked for a refund and was told that because it was a sunday they couldn't give me a refund as their head office was closed and to go back (yet again) the following morning.

I went back and was told the money would be back on my card within the next few working days, it took weeks of chasing them before they finally gave me my money back over a month later.

**** company that should be avoided, I went around the corner and had a new tyre fitted at Charlie Browns. They fitted the new tyre and I've had no problems at all and they charged the same as national did.

nice one

just refuse any extra work. I agree most wont need doing so only bother if you dont have uniform tread wear on your tyres (assuming correctly inflated)

Nice one bruv

needed to do this month ago wen bought second hand car

Cheers flyingflea,
My tyres have worn badly on outsides, just replaced the front 2. Need this done, great timing.

Good price, heat

Wheel alignment, is that the same as tracking?

Yes it is. Wheel alignment should fix most tracking issues.
