13th October 2008 This is one of the most impressive businesses I have ever dealt with. About 5 years ago I took my car to them and asked for a WOF and 2 new tyres to be fitted to the front of my car. When I returned some hours later I noticed no new tyres had been fitted. When I enquired about this, Dougal the owner, explained that he hadn't put the new tyres on as my current ones were still up to standard. He could have fitted new tyres and charged me accordingly and I would have been none the wiser. I have gone back for WOF's ever since and recommended friends to go there. Not often you come across someone this honest in todays world. Highly recommend this company.

4th February 2013 I recently went for a warrant at Flags Tyres in Woolston and was not happy. I believe they made up issues with my car to make money from the repairs. I took my car for a second opinion at VTNZ and they agreed the issues Flags brought up weren't issues at all, ie need new rear brake pads when the rear brake pads were actually almost new, and had been put on by Flags a few warrants before.
Looking back over my old warrant papers from Flags I found it's not the first time they had done the same repair in the space of a year.
Generally I always found them to have poor customer skills and said several times I wouldn't go back but as I lived close I ended up going there again.
Needless to say I won't be going back and will be getting independent inspections from now on.
