Tyre change and storage garages, alternative to Pneus Claude ?
Been using Pneu Claude in Satigny for my tyres for the past 5 years.
Recently had a bad experience with them. They said my summer tyres were fine, and had about 1 year of driving left before they needed to be replaced, on 26 June. On 7 July my car had a service in Italy, and the mechanic basically said my tyres were in an awful condition and at risk of a blow out. So I bought 4 new tyres on the spot.
I am annoyed that Pneu Claude said they were fine for another season when they certainly were not.
Additionally when changing from Summer to Winter last November, one of my winters was damaged by them in storage so I had to buy 2 new tyres (they made me pay for only 1) but again not a great service from them.
Have sent 3 emails since July with no reply to their desk email address reception@pneusclaude.ch, have sent a final one today but if no reply I will send a registered letter.
So I am looking for a new tyre garage in Geneva to do the changes and the storage going forward. Who do you recommend? Not enough space in my Cave to store myself. I pay about 180chf per season.
