2wheelsgood Posted January 27, 2010 Share So which one would you use? I'll tell you why it should be Supaquick: I was riding in Mellville the other day and my tyre punctured. I didn't have patches with me so I thought I'd buy from Hi-q. I asked and was told it would cost me R20 for two patches. Just ordinary tyre patches. I blew my lid at the manager who told me it was in the system, nothing he could do. I stormed off and made another plan. Yesterday I went past a nearby Supaquick and asked for some patches, and got a couple for FREE. ****Hi-Q, damned thieves is all they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] I find it amusing how companies cause this sort of thing for the sake of a few cents. Had Hi-Q given you a patch you would have gone on your merry way and probably not mentioned it further. Now they have badwill and a competitor is getting promoed for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2wheelsgood Posted January 27, 2010 Share Wow..a business refuses to hand out free stock and they get flamed. Pathetic. what's pathetic is your comprehension skill. I was willing to pay Hi-Q just as I was willing to pay Supaquick - except the guy turned down my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted January 27, 2010 Share And those patches cost next to nothing as well,....Quite short sighted of Hi-Q, chances are you own a car and won't be going back there for tyres. I asked my local Supa Quick for a teaspoon size splodge of copper grease a while ago, came home with a marg tub half full of it and no charge! A few months later I bought my new 4x4 tyres from them. Thats what makes the difference, customer relations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 27, 2010 Share Heh... Hi-Q stores are all franchised, and prices differ from store to store. Which is why you have to phone around for prices, and is probably why the manager was a pr1ck. They buy all the stock at a set price from the distributors, and decide what price to sell it on for. I only go to one Hi-Q branch, because I've received EXCELLENT service there. It boils down to how the individual franchisees decide to run their establishments as to how you will be treated...

ZakAttak Posted January 27, 2010 Share Dudes.... A friend of mine owns a Supaquick as well as a Hi-Q which is situated literally less than a km from each other and I get great service from both places.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messenger Posted January 27, 2010 Share I didn't have patches with me Just so we are clear, you are p1ssed off at someone else, because..... You must be a CEO somewhere man, coz this is for sure their stupidity for charging you for their stock.... Dont see this thread having a major impact on Hi-Q's day....

henco Posted January 27, 2010 Share Don't think you can blame it on Hi-Q, but rather on that specific branch/manager. I got a flat about a month ago and wasn't sure what caused it, Hi-Q found the cause and replaced the valve of the tyre, free of charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted January 27, 2010 Share Yep - each branch is run differently by different managers. Where I am the one hiq is crap while the other one is brilliant - in fact i dont phone around, i just go straight there - so its a much of a muchness as far as im concerned. need to go get my wheels aligned tomorrow - maybe i should ask for free patches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
