Outdated misogynistic treatment

For some female drivers entering what may be considered a strongly male environment can be rather uncomfortable. My wife genuinely finds visits to garages/mechanics somewhat difficult but she went to the Wallington branch today needing two tyres replaced.

She found the attitude of the staff member on the front desk to be exceptionally unhelpful. To be frequently referred to as “love” and made to feel stupid or inadequate is not acceptable. My wife felt that the answers she received to her questions were deliberately short, blunt, patronising and only intended to move her on.

It is disappointing, in the 21st century, to see some companies and some staff make little or no attempt to be welcoming, understanding and inclusive.

For a female customer to walk away upset and feel that she would not have been spoken to like that, if she had been a man, is quite frankly disgusting.

What a truly awful experience to give a female customer.

Chertsey Branch 27.10.21

Chertsey Branch 27.10.21
I arrived at 5:30 pm and a sign outside indicated that they shut at 6 pm. The receptionist was out the back smoking a cigarette, he was in no hurry to attend to me. Eventually he arrived and I explained that I needed a flat tyre repaired or replaced. He went back into the workshop shutting the door behind him and returned explaining that they still had another tyre to do and that they wouldn’t be able to fit me in as they shut at 6.
He suggested I return at 08:30 the next day and he’ll try to fit me in then, obviously missing the concept of a flat tyre. I went outside and replaced the flat tyre with the spare myself.
The guys on site had locked up and left by 5:50pm.
I have used Merityre ( Sunbury branch) for years.
Not anymore

Frimley branch (updated).

Ordered two tyres this last Thursday in person, booked in for fitting the following afternoon.l duly arrived only to be told that they were backed up and they weren't likely to be fitted that afternoon. It was then suggested that if I came back for 8.30 this morning (Saturday) they would be fitted promptly.
I was there for 8.15am along with about four other customers, in fairness to the guy behind the counter dealt with us all in a polite and speedy manor. Unfortunately he seemed to be hindered by a chaotic ordering and booking system which left at least one customer with no tyre to fit to his car. My tyres were fitted within 3/4 of an hour which was ok by me given the number of customers but when I got home I noticed that the paint on one of the rims had been badly chip which will require repainting. The fitter would of known this but nothing was said. Not good enough at all, I will not be using Merityre again and will warn other potential customers. The wheel damage issue has now been resolved to my satisfaction with thanks to Dene Arnold at Merityre who handled my complaint in a professional and speedy manner.

Had an appointment a 2pm for 2 tyres. Couldn’t find my booking and it’s now gone 3.30pm and I’m still waiting. Tyres are being done but a very long wait considering it was pre booked last week. Staff are polite and helpful but not very efficient time wise

BUYER BEWARE

over the internet, I purchased 2 Michelin tyres for my Kia Proceed GT From the Purley branch. I chose merit tyres not on price alone, but because they included a FREE wheel ALIGNMENT CHECK.Overall price was competitive. Initially all ok with tyre fitting. Then a young employee advised me that no wheel alignment could be done because my car was not on their system - he said I had a new model not yet on their system and would need to go to Kia to get the job done. I asked to see the manager. To be fair - he sorted the problem out . The young employee - had got it wrong - as I understood. NEXT the alignment check was carried out and I was advised there were problems - which they could fix - a a price 0f £88 (4 wheels). BUYER BEWARE - FRRE ALIGNMENT CHECK IS JUST THAT A CHECK. i declined the offer and had alignment elsewhere - at a significantly lower price.

Dear Mr Schwartz

I'm sorry that you have had cause to raise this matter.
I apologise for the confusion regarding whether we could carry out the alignment check to your vehicle. There is clearly a training issue for our junior staff.
We will take your comments on board regarding the free wheel alignment check.
If you wish to discuss this matter further, please email to dene.arnold@merityre.co.uk

I use the Southfields branch and I would just like to thank Scott and the team for all their fine work on my Fiat 500 and Ford Focus, always a offer of basic to better tyres for me to chose and fitted quickly and efficiently. Also I recommend sneaking off to Olly’s cafe for a breakfast bap and cup of tea whilst you wait.

Price changed from £64 a tyre over the phone to £90 a tyre when I got there, they said they’d misquoted over phone, then wanted to charge me £10 a wheel to remove the locking nuts even though I had the key in the car and I used it many times, they said the key was worn and didn’t want to use it. I ended up with budget tyres, slightly over priced as well. I would never use them again and recommend people use an independent tyre supplier. I was a tyre fitter 30 years ago in a big chain, and looks like the same crap service still exists as our managers did then.

Very happy customer

I use Merit Tyre in Chertsey. Puncture in front wheel. At my last service main dealer told me that two front tyres would need replacing shortly. Checked with Merit who said there was no issue with the tyres and sorted out my puncture. They are what I want from a company - friendly. professional and honest!

Merityre - Woking, St. Johns

I got a flat tyre and was on the back of a recovery vehicle. I rang ahead at a few garages to see if they could fit me in on the day to get a new tyre and Merityre was the only garage that were welcoming and told me to just come down and they will get it sorted.
Garage and staff are well presented and put a new tyre on within the hour. Very happy customer and well come back again for further services and work on my car. Thank you very much.

Great service at Hook

A warning light was showing in my car that the tyre pressure was low so I popped in to the Hook branch on the off-chance that someone could take a look. The member of staff I spoke to was polite and efficient, he checked my tyres straight away, gave me some advice and charged nothing. I will definitely be back when I need to order new tyres.

Merityre Purlrey On Thames.

Merityre Purley On Thames.
These guys go Above and Beyond.
I have been going here for the last couple of years. Staff are always courteous, polite and know their stuff.
I had some issues with Tracking/ Alignment/ Balancing, on my VW campervan, and I told by the Manager to take the vehicle back for further works and they charged me minimal amount with the forefront of getting the job done and ensuring I was happy with the end result.
Thanks again, and I'll be back for more tyres when I need them.

First class service!

I’ve been using Merityre for several years now, taking both our cars to be re-shod on a regular basis.
I’m unsure about the manager, who it seems can never be bothered to smile, however, the forecourt team at Purley on Thames are exceptionally customer service orientated, especially ’Dave’, and the young lady who replaced a faulty valve. Friendly, professional and efficient!

Farnham Merityre - top local customer service

Amazing service. I rang Merityre when my wheel locking nut had issues - they advised a specialist whom i then used. When i subsequently needed a part for the wheel - from ringing Merityre to them ordering over the phone and then them calling me and fitting it...1 hour! That is local service for you.
