Lucky escape. I wouldn't let 24hr mechanic change a wheel, not even under supervision. Maybe Robinsons?

I don't lie. I brought them a brand new car in 2004 to get a meter installed and they destroyed the dashboard by sticking screwdrivers in instead of using the correct tools. They also broke a wire that the dealer I bought the car from repaired under warranty as a goodwill gesture. They didn't do any better on my current motor, the air vent unit doesn't sit flush since they got at it and I got constant over-current warnings on whatever circuit they tapped into to power the meter/printer. Recently, they said they could reset the time on the meter without breaking the seal. They couldn't... when I went for the LRA the inspector said the seal was broken and I had to book a resealing appointment before he could issue my licence and affix the tamper proof discs. I had to go back to Mechanic24hr to get them to upload a TTI form and your man tried to fob me off with some bullshit that the old type seals fail the LRA anyway and it was nothing to do with being tampered with. Absolute nonsense but I couldn't be arsed arguing with him and just gave him the €25 demanded on top of the €20 hje charged for breaking the seal and the €86.10 I had to pay Aplus+. It's a mickey mouse outfit that's best avoided. Unfortunately, I bought my Hale meter before they became sole agents in ROI.

Certainly more accustomed to ripping gadgets out of cars than fitting them, based on my 2004 experience anyway. I shoulda cut my losses and fucked out the Hale meter back then, I guess... but it is a good meter, nearly 22 years old and still working away.

Don't like them for a few reasons, cleaning them is one, I feel safe enough without them, it's my only car, insurance, and still waiting to hear of a working taxi driver who caught the pox inside the car. I have 3 phones with the covid app, and have yet to be contacted.

From the book called "The Alchemist" by Paolo Coelho:
Maktub. Many of the characters that Santiago meets during his journey use the word maktub, which as the crystal merchant explains, means “it is written.” The word typically appears just as Santiago is about to turn to a new chapter in his quest, usually by taking a big risk or abandoning a comfortable situation.
Maktub” is a phrase first used by the crystal merchant who employs Santiago, and later it is adopted by other characters, including Santiago, the camel driver, and Fatima. The phrase means, “It is written,” and it is used by these characters to express their conviction that some things are “meant to be.” Rather than having faith in a God with a changeable will, these characters believe in a steadfast, universal plan behind all things. And yet within the novel, the idea of “Maktub” is never presented as contradictory to the free will of the individual in choosing to seek his or her Personal Legend.
The concept of “Maktub” relieves several of the characters of the anxiety of decision-making and risk-taking. For example, the camel driver’s trust in the ways of world, which he believes are “written,” helps him to show Santiago why death need not be feared. The camel driver explains that death is simply a fact, something that is written, and its horror and dread vanishes when one lives in the moment without anxiety over what cannot be changed. Fatima also employs the term “Maktub” to explain her trust in Santiago and their love for each other. She believes that if she and Santiago are intended to be together, he will return to her. This relieves her of the anxiety of his departure, because she trusts that what is “written” will come to pass. If he does not return, it is because their love was not intended to be eternal and true.
Maktub can also be a confusing concept, however, as it includes both change and permanence. Santiago foresees the future—an invasion of the oasis—and he is able to intervene and prevent this outcome. This implies that the future is not completely settled or “written” in a way that is unchangeable—but once Santiago understands that all things are “written,” he is able to speak the Language of the World. This is because everything, including the future, is indeed pre-written. This knowledge helps Santiago to learn how to turn himself into the wind when he needs to impress and escape from the desert tribesmen who take him and the alchemist captive. While this ability to have complete knowledge may seem contradictory to the ability to change the future, the book argues that the world (in which all things are interconnected) is certain, as is one’s destiny, and yet any individual can choose to pursue that destiny or not. The novel also suggests that when one is on that course of pursuing destiny, all knowledge is available. When one is not on that course, however, one’s life is not fulfilled. One’s destiny exists (in the sense that it is written and meant to be), but it is not always realized.
