Wrong alloys

[theb00g1em4n]

had my car for a month now and only just noticed that it has been supplied with the wrong size wheels, is there anything I can do about it?

Thanks

What size have you got and what size were you expecting?

i got 17's but ordered 18's

You could do two things.

1) Ask for opinions on a forum
2) Point out the error to the supplying retailer

I'll let you decide which is more likely to result in them being changed for what you actually ordered...

LOL - another option is deciding that 17's are the smarter choice anyway and get a little compo returned is a nice bonus...

I noticed on an earlier post on another subject that you stated that you hadn’t ordered any options, do you have a copy of your order?

If you have proof take it back to the dealer and request they are changed ASAP, but it begs the question why has it taken you a month to notice?

I didn’t order any options, it was a free upgrade and yes I have the mobility order form that states 18 inch alloys

In that case take it back to the supplying dealer along with your paperwork.

I wanted 18’s but my car was in stock with 17’s and now I have them I’m glad I’ve got them because the ride is really good and they are very easy to clean. If you’re happy ask for some money off as has been suggested.

^^ Yeah, that ^^

Before you go to your dealership make sure your Motability agreement shows 18" in the model description. If not they can (and will) argue that the order form was wrong and you have the correct specification.

And the next question is does it make any difference to you, if you have the 18" vs the 17"

Update..
Contacted the dealer and was only told 'factory ran out of 18's' and was told as its a mobility car they dont have to change them

Utter cr@p

What did Motability say about that?

 

[theb00g1em4n]

They said there was nothing they could do about it as it was a FREE upgrade
