Ap Reinders

Inför vintern köpte jag ett set dubbdäck hos Däckpiraten, som försäkrade mig om att de var finska och av hög kvalitet. När jag senare lämnade in däcken för montering hos en annan bilverkstad visade det sig att däcken var av mycket låg …

Before the winter, I bought a set of studded tires from Däckpiraten, who assured me that they were Finnish and of high quality. When I later returned the tires for installation to another garage, it turned out that the tires were of very low quality: a loose pressure sensor was found in one of the tires, a damaged valve, incorrectly and randomly placed balance weights, and a tire that had apparently been repaired with tire repair even though it was supposed to be new. The tires clearly say ‘engineered in Finland’ and in small letters ‘made in China’. According to the specialized garage, the rubber was unusually hard – completely unsuitable for winter use – and the garage considered them to be completely unsafe to drive on in Swedish winter conditions. When I tried to complain and get my money back, I was met with a very unpleasant response from the owner of Däckpiraten. I did not get my money back – “You can forget about that”, he replied – even though the tires were unused and sold with a three-year warranty. He denied all defects and continued to claim that the tires came from Finland, until I pointed out what was actually written on the tires. Because of all this, I want to warn others not to buy their tires from Däckpiraten. Totally frivolous.

Kan verkligen rekommendera Cornelia! Hon har öga för det!
