Hi
Just a couple of questions i thought you fellow 944 owners might be able to help me out on? I am about to get some new rear tyres and was looking on mytyres.co.uk and blackcircles.co.uk. The advantage of black circles is that you pay one amount and that includes getting tyres fiitted and balanced etc, but does anyone have any experience of any of the garages they use? I am wondering if the places they have contracts might not be up to scratch? Or is it just worth getting just the tyres and take them to a garage (not a Porsche specialist, just one that i trust nearby) to get them fitted? Anyone got any other suggestions for tyres (bear in mind i am up in Edinburgh so it would prob have to be mail order or somewhere local-ish).
Other question is about the MOT that is due soon. Would you recommend that this is done by a Porsche specialist as opposed to a normal garage. A little confused (this is the first car i have owned - and what a way to start!) about MOTs as i understand that if the car fails it has to remain at the test centre until it has passed and i am not sure i want a "normal" garage working on it to pass the MOT? Does this sound sensible? My porsche specialist is about an hour away and the local garage is only 2 minutes away so i wanted to check i was being over cautious before driving miles away!
Thanks in advance
