Mintys Tyres - Scratched my rim and didn't balance tyre properly
Mintys Tyres Umhlanga Good - Neat place with friendly staff. Bad - May have been my bad luck, but I visited them about 2 weeks ago for 2 tyres. Unfortunately when I got home I noticed that they scratched 1 rim, about a 20cm long scratch on the edge. I did see the guys gathered around the machine at one point as it seemed something broke, didn't realize it was my rim and the machine had scratched it. They obviously noticed but didn't say anything. Too top it off, since I use side roads to work, I only realised on the weekend that they didn't even balance the wheels correctly. Got them re-balanced properly at Hi-Q. Quite disappointed with the overall experience. Wasn't going to post this, but you rather double the workmanship.

Waiting Area Mintys Vereeniging
Concern Regarding Waiting Area Conditions – Vereeniging Branch Good day, I would like to formally place on record that I fitted four new tyres at Minties Tyres, Vereeniging. During the time spent in the designated waiting area, there was no fan or adequate ventilation, and the heat levels inside the area were excessive. The conditions became uncomfortable to the extent that I was required to move outside temporarily in order to get fresh air and ventilation. I raise this concern for management’s attention, as the waiting area conditions may affect customer comfort and health, particularly during hot weather. Kind regards, Pieter Breedt If you’d like, I can: Make it stronger (implying expectation of corrective action) Add a recommendation (fan, ventilation, air-conditioning) Adjust it for head office escalation Just say the word.

Great Experience at Mintys Newtown – Highly Recommended
I had a really great experience buying tyres from Mintys Newtown, and I want to give a special mention to Gerald, who looked after me throughout the whole process. From the moment I arrived, Gerald was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. He took the time to explain the different tyre options, answered all my questions clearly, and made sure I was getting the right tyres for my car rather than just the most expensive option. The service was professional, honest, and efficient, and everything was done exactly as promised. The tyres were excellent quality and great value, and the fitting was done quickly with care and attention to detail. It’s clear Gerald takes pride in his work and customer service, which really makes a difference. Overall, I’m extremely happy with my experience at Mintys Newtown and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for reliable tyres and great service. Thanks again to Gerald and the team — I’ll definitely be back.

Defective tyres from Mintys
Purchased a new set of Nexen tyres which turned out to have defects and Mintys in Cresta refuse to refund or exchange them. After 3 attempts at balancing with Mintys, the tyres were taken to another tyre franchise with specialised RoadForce equipment (at my expense) to confirm that the tyres indeed had manufacturing defects and were hopping. Firstly, Minty’s does not have the same equipment to test tyres professionally and constantly blame the wheels and car instead. They also rely on subjective drive tests to send a customer away and waste time, instead of acknowledging the fault - which has been objectively pointed out by the specialised equipment already. The tyres can also clearly be seen hopping on the balancing machine, which they refuse to acknowledge as an issue. Their response is to come in yet again, do the balancing yet again, drive (at owners expense) for some time to check and then come back! Avoid Nexen because the tyres are indeed *******. Avoid Minty's because they do not have the equipment to check tyres properly and have no concept of customer support and centricity.
