Not sure which topic to post this in, so this is as good as any…
My car was in for a service this week with a national wide garage and came out with e recommendation and quote to replace three tyres.
I picked it up at 5pm, and when driving later on at 9.30pm a low tyre pressure warning popped up on the dashboard.
When we got home my DH investigated and discovered the valve core was unscrewed and the tyre was slowly leaking air. He managed to tighten it up and pumped up the tyre.
The next day my DS was driving it and had a low pressure warning on the other front tyre. Further investigation revealed exactly the same problem; a loose valve core.
Fortunately for me, DH is quite handy with these sorts of things, and has fixed the issue, but we are now both suspecting that the garage has left these valves untightened ‘accidentally on purpose’ so that I’ll feel the urgency to replace my tyres with them.
What does everyone else think? Is there a way this could have just happened coincidentally right after the garage visit?
