Good service at B-Quick.

Not sure about here but most new cars in the UK come with a repair kit in place of a spare wheel. Run-flat tyres are becoming the norm. The reason given by the manufacturers is cost and weight.

We’re starting to drift off the subject and I’m going to be just as guilty, but I think you’re wrong there about run-flat tyres - whilst they might be more popular than they were even 10 years ago, they are by no means becoming the “norm”.

Ok. A long way from the norm but definitely on the increase along with self-sealing tyres:

An increasing amount of vehicle manufacturers are opting to fit new cars with run flat tyres – so when you buy, for example, a new BMW 5 series or Mini, then it will come with four run flat tyres.

Anyway, next time I need any form of tyre service, B-Quick will be my first port of call.

Absolutely. Can only be beaten if someone fixes my puncture and GIVES me money!

Can see the mustard structure of the new Cha-am branch quickly taking shape at the end of the drive. Assume aiming to open at the same time as the new Lotus's.
Like Dannie Boy, I have also found B-Quick to be be most efficient and fair whether Thai or Farang.

I had the misfortune (or is it pleasure?) of finding my rear nearside tyre 90% deflated this morning and a quick inspection found a rogue screw in the middle of the tread.

I had the same problem back in 2021 so knew the drill only this time going to B-Quik in Cha Am rather than Hua Hin, but same impeccable service, if not better. One assistant found the offending screw and promptly removed it and inserted a plug, the 2nd assistant checked the tyre pressure on all 4 wheels and even used a misting bottle and cloth to clean them. Upon completion I asked how much and as before they said no charge, so it was just a 100 Baht tip and all completed within 10 minutes!!

Bumping this thread.

Do any of you use B Quick for a car service and if so is it comparable and cheaper than dealership level? I have a 5yr old Honda Accord 1.5 T.

cheers

Being in Bangkok I have a wider range of choice so BQuick would be toward the bottom of the list.
Their tyre stock is old and limited to very few brands. And I wouldn't trust a generic service if I could go to the dealership. Not that they're any better, just that you're able to get proper spares in a timely manner.
Your Honda is only 5 years old, stay with the dealership.
I only recently changed (after 15 years) to a shop specializing in Nissans as the dealership wants to import stuff from Japan and I'm not fussed about good refurbished parts being used any more.
The advantage of the dealership is that you have a service record, and you do get service updates (they changed all the airbags for free after 10 years). BQuick is too generic for me.
