Bridgestone Potenza RE030 Tyres
"My dad was dubious about ordering Bridgestone Potenza RE030 Tyres online after he failed to receive a purchase he had made from another company. I however convinced him to take another risk and shop at Tyre shopper . He finally agreed and he was happy that he did not lose his money. The customer care service offered help and he was able to choose the best tyres. However, the delay got him worried, so we had to contact the company’s customer care rep. He was so apologetic that they did notify us of the delay and promised that after two days , the tyres would be delivered. On the second day, the delivery guys came. They were kind and the tyres were in good condition. It is six months now and we are really enjoying our ride. My dad keeps saying that he will buy from you again and again."

Conclusion
The review set shows recurring problems with fitting quality, appointment reliability and complaint resolution. Multiple customers report damaged or incorrect fittings, delayed or cancelled appointments, and difficulty obtaining responses or refunds. A minority of reviews describe prompt, polite mobile fitters and tyres in good condition. Consumers should confirm fitting arrangements, check tyre age and fit on delivery, document any damage with photos and keep correspondence when booking or disputing charges.
