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

Is indeed dude, who's your oops managed? 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
