On 6th May 09 I took my son and his car to Super Tyres, I asked them to replace a tyre, a wheel and check all wheels were on properly as my son had just put these wheels on (after removing his alloys) and I was not confident he had secured them properly.

Within 2 miles of driving the front right wheel of the car fell off, bounced across both carriageways and landed in a bush. Super Tyres came out and recovered the car. They still have the car as they are waiting for parts (expected back later today). I am claiming for the £35 I paid to Super Tyres, £100 loss of earnings as my son uses his car for work (window cleaning) and £40 for the inconvenience and time I have spent waiting for Super Tyres and various phone calls.

The manager actually expected my to pay for the repairs to the vehicle, which were caused by the wheel falling off.
