Bob Jane T-Marts Reviews

I went to buy Tyres for my car and I was very nervous,but no need to be , the service was 2nd to none,well done to everyone at The Alberton branch of bob Jane tmart

Called the Southport franchise to book in our sons car the following week for new tyres and told them he only had $400 to spend and was told as it was end of financial year sales they had a few good options for him for that price. When our son arrived the next week he was told they don't have any tyres for $400 and they would have to get them in and it would take weeks. As it was his only day off work/uni he had to go ahead and have the cheapest tyres they had for $550, which really set him back financially. When he told us that afternoon we called the manager and was told they do have tyres for that price now, surprise surprise, and if he brings it back they will swap them, fulling knowing it was the only day he had available to have the tyres fitted and it was too late in the day to return it. We are so disappointed you took advantage of a teenager after we called to set everything up so that wouldn't happen. You have lost all our business of 5 cars and everyone else we can report your dishonest customer service to. This is an honest review and we have people who witnessed both calls who can verify what we have written to be true.

Wow what a surprise, I had a flat that needed fixing and after my husband had had wonderful service from the guys at Bob Jane Lawton we drove down to seek their help again....(30 minute drive) it was worth every minute. The guys were so helpful full of helpful hints and truly cared that my tyres were performing for me. I actually look forward to having all my tyres replaced by these guys as I know I’m in good hands 😄thanks guys

The tyres and initial customer service was excellent. Just be prepared to spend an extra $50+ out of your own pocket when the centre caps in the wheels fall off while driving home because they haven’t been installed properly.

Bob Jane Tyres in Devonport Tasmania. Simply the best service from the guys there. Shane (the owner) and Grant are very good at listening and suggesting the best deals and tyres that suit your car and pocket. I have been buying tyres and wheels there for many many years and have always marveled at their customer service skills and friendly approach. Every aspect of the service at Bob Jane Devonport is exemplary. I cannot recommend them more highly, so thank you very much to all at Bob Jane Devonport. Greg Boyd Wesley Vale.

I was recently conned by the staff at Bob Jane, and this is how they pulled it off.

I went to Bob Jane Main North Road, Adelaide to get my car's tires checked. Following an inspection I was told that it would be best to get all 4 of my tires replaced. Since I was investing a fair bit for a full tire swap I also told the manager that my car's steering wheel was slightly misaligned with the front tires and whether they would be able to fix it? The manager told me that if I get a wheel alignment done for $65 that would fix it. It all seemed reasonable to me so I proceeded to choose the tires.

I was shown several tires among which lay the pair that had a manufacturing date of 2019 which I chose and went ahead with the purchase. As my car was handed over to the mechanics I was told that I could not enter the workshop as per their policy which sounded a bit odd to me but I did not think much of it.

Later on when my car was ready and I went to drive it off I realized why I was not allowed in the workshop all along. The tires that were put in my car were not the ones I was shown. The ones that were put in my car were manufactured in 2017 (and not 2019) so naturally I got concerned as the rubber is recommended to have a best before date of 5 years following its manufacture.

I walked to the branch manager and told him about my concern. He was well versed in this argument (probably from experience) and went on for a while not letting me get a single word in.

I gave up and walked off to my car. Having sat on the driver's seat I noticed something else, the steering wheel was still misaligned with the front tires. I got out from the car and discussed this with my mechanic, from whom I received another well versed mouthful about how a mainstream car like Nissan Patrol does not even have the mechanism to align the steering wheel with its front tires.

I had had enough by now and just wanted to get out of the place so I started my car and drove it off.

[EDIT]: I contacted the head office at Bob Jane and all I received was a long email with more well versed excuses such as... we showed you a different tire than the one we put in your car because the one we showed you was for display purposes only, but we did not intend to deceive you......we did not let you in the workshop due to health and safety reasons but we did not intend to deceive you......we did not fix your steering because our mechanics are not qualified in fixing Nissan cars but we did not intend to deceive you and so on...

Went to Bob Jane for a routine wheel alignment, absolutely no issues before hand.
Came out and upon driving the car at 95+ km/h, the steering wheel developed a vibration. Went back to the store and they said it was because my bushes were worn. Did not bother to mention it when the alignment was done.
Arranged to have all bushes replaced, problem remained. Was told it was the tyres, so replaced the tyres.
Then replaced all rotors.
The problem has not abated.
Whatever the *ickhead aligner did to my vehicle - it is stuffed.
Never ever will I use Bob Jane again, and I will continue to warn others on social media to steer clear of the business.
They take your cash and no responsibility nor care for the customer.

They destroyed my wheels and rudely and unapologetic claimed that's just how the job works. They can't help me if the rims just scratched and dented everywhere like it's my fault

Good value and a fast responsive service, what more could you ask ?
