    Hi looking for help as usual! I bought a car from Harry Fairbairn in Irvine and they agreed to get my two front wheels fixed as they were scraped. They said I was to take it to a place in EK and they would foot the bill, the trouble is it has to be left over night and it doesn’t open lat or open early any day so I’m struggling to be able to drop it off and pick it up due to my work. Does anyone know anywhere else that could do it that would be closer to Glasgow city centre or who could pick it up and drop off?

    Ask the dealer how long the offer is valid for and take a days annual leave?


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Ooh sorry just noticed that you stay in Motherwell.

    Car still under warranty?

    Brian’s had a couple sorted recently and there’s a place in Stirling that would do them but you’d still need to get and forward to work.

    It’s 14 months old, have to wait til I get time off I suppose poor service from fairbairns would be easier to drop it at an Arnold Clark’s and grab a hire car but not possible apparently

    Is it a warranty repair on the wheels then ? I’d have thought that had it been that they’d have taken the car and sorted the wheels and given you a courtesy car to tide you over.
