Morning all, a great start today. Had dropped wife's touraeg at local garage yesterday for new window regulator and new front pads.
Well they phoned and said have snapped the locking nut key in the nut blaming whoever changed rhe tyres last time. The guy they use to remove wheel nuts wasn't available, but would cost 250-350, but risk of new hub as well. Most unimpressed, so this am am just wacked a 12 point socket over the locking nut and hey presto have got the locking nut off.
The local garage calls itself a jag specialist and even has the odd ferrari in. Won't be going back.
Was trying to support local business.
Well apart from the fact that you now need to also buy a replacement locking nut tool for your remaking 3, it is a pretty poor excuse to blame the last guy, they clearly went straight for the big UGGA- DUGGA! Instead of using a breaker bar like a good mechanic. It is fair to say the last guy probably used one to do it up but maybe it was them?
