Just wanted to share my experience with one of the south london garages.
I had a puncture on my ybr125 on my rear tyre few months ago so I took it to the nearest place, Ahsan Scooters in Streatham. They have fitted a new michelin tyre, it looked a bit slim but I never looked at it closely. All was fine until about a week ago when I saw a cable clip stuck in it when I was about to go to work in the morning. I put some air in it and went to work, after work I went to Chas Bikes.
What they told me really pissed me off:
Guy at Chas put a tube in and told me to go back to them and to have a word with them about it.
Later that evening I went to Ahsan and they didn't even argue with me about it so I think they do that quite often.
They ordered the correct tyre and replaced it but I will never use them again.
