This time I chose to contact Millers as they are literally just round the corner.My point is,as I sorced the inner tube online at £10 Millers would have charged me £50 just to fit it.I still maintain this is excessive and should I need something more technical repairing,though there is very little that can go wrong ie,no gearbox,clutch,engine.I would not even consider Millers.Finally since my experience numerous people have echoed my sentiment.
A quick word to Accy Explorer, I have been reliably informed that it is not allowed to patch a puncture on a large mobility scooter because it can be used on the road ,therefore as with a car,it is now illegal to patch an inner tube.
Isn't life strange?

Instead of coming on here and praising a firm in Blackburn (a company you fail to name) that does you well, you start a post blasting and calling a local company, as Cashy says we should all shop around to get the best deal, but what IS your problem?

Why instead of saying millers is a rip off, didn't you praise the anonymous super company, let everyone know the fantastic service you had, even though you didn't enjoy them enough to go straight back to them (or recommend them)?

I do feel you prefer a moan than a praise as you've proved, but that's your problem not mine.
