Disappointing to see some of these other reviews - I can scarcely believe their experiences could be SO different to my own. I went along to A1 looking for a new spare wheel for my Renault. Despite the pouring rain, two guys took the time to talk about my issue at hand, explaining various things to me and going so far as to find an option and physically try it on the car, dealing with a myriad of problems as they went. They did it in good spirits, did it thoroughly and absolutely off their own backs. I had fully expected to get a wheel and have to trust it was correct. In the end, no solution fit my hubs and I was left impressed with their honesty; that they hadn’t just tried to up sell me their wheel regardless of suitability. They refit my wheel and refused any offer of payment for their time (and frustrated effort). I had already visited another scrapyard and had been left feeling crappy by their service. Such places can usually be intimidating, especially to non-Car types, so to be spoken to with respect and not to be made to feel stupid made a massive difference - especially as I am on the autism spectrum. If you visit and find them anything other than helpful, interested and genuine, then you may have caught them on a bad day - as we all have - or maybe... The problem is you. I, however, will be back. Cheers lads!
