Yeah you did!
We can't balance center less wheels here and the adaptor to fit them is at another branch 50 miles away

Was Dan Joyce, now its Ben Collard [Think that his second name]

We actually can't balance centreless wheels because we don't have the adapter lmfao..
But we take them next door to King David

The fitting training basically says,
don't use any airtools for wheels [although its against Kwik Fit rules to use any airtools for anything]
Wire Brush hubs
Lifting with knees bent
The 'Red List'
Check wheel nut/bolt threads for damage and use the fitters journey


RE: Good choice.. - sam - 06-04-2014

Dan Joyce is a legend haha, ours is dale something lmao he's pretty cool and the red list is shit

Dan Joyce just talks fluent shit, he's a nice enough bloke but he'll promise you the world and give you nothing...

Red List is shit, the only cars I pay attention too on it is a Nissan Note and Renaults Angel
