The service from tire storage to the next change of shoes from the “iron horse” has recently been incredibly popular among Russian car owners. I came to the “tyre shop”, changed the “rubber”, paid and handed over the wheels until the next season. Handy – no doubt about it. However, there is a downside to this service.
The fact remains: after replacing tires, using the services of storage, you do not have to drag tires to the balcony of your apartment or take them to the country every season. Handy, practical, cheap. Only about 3-5 thousand rubles, and specialists will do it for you by carefully placing the “rubber” in the storage room. In addition, regular customers get discounts or free wheel washing, cleaning brake calipers from dirt and so on.
Therefore, it is not for nothing that many car owners began to use such a service, minimizing their own nerves and time. However, as already mentioned, there are very serious risks associated with such a service for customers. Certainly in the context of recent events in the country and the world. And here’s why.
The fact is that the military personnel decimated by the “corona crisis” also suffered greatly from the deteriorating economic situation in the country, which previously left much to be desired, and has now reached a completely critical point. Many warehouses are simply rented out by tire fitters and lately the revenue often turns out to be lower than the costs. That is why not everyone succeeds in concluding the lease. If large firms somehow still manage, the small ones “die” one by one and declare themselves bankrupt. What this means, we think, need not be said.
But let’s put it briefly. Once you make an appointment for the next “retraining” over the phone, you may simply not wait for an answer and the previously signed retention agreement easily turns into toilet paper. Where can you take her to complain about the bankrupt company? Unless to a neighbor on the floor. Meanwhile, the tires that once belonged to you are promptly sold on well-known Internet flea markets. If you’re lucky, you’ll even have time to buy your own tires.
But seriously, even if the obligations are fulfilled properly, the tire workers can easily return the damaged “rubber” to you. After all, nobody knows exactly how it is stored, where and under what circumstances. However, it is important to understand that improper storage will deform the tire and cause it to lose its working properties. And this threatens with a deterioration in driving behavior and an increase in the risk of failure of the suspension and rims.
Few people know that in order to avoid this, the room where the “car shoes” are stored must have a certain temperature, not to mention how exactly the tires should be stored. With checkers – on top of each other, or better – in limbo. Without them – strictly upright. In addition, in a dry, ventilated, but not cold room. Do you know what it’s really like there? That is it.
