TBH the young woman is doing far more honest, useful and socially beneficial work in the #tyre #garage her family set up than the AI, startup or blockchain stuff she was being trained for at #University
I was surprised the business was struggling, maybe roads in #Singapore are so much better than UK that tyres last much longer, or a lot of debt got tied up in stock, particularly #alloys (there were some high end brands like Oz on the stock list!)
Here in UK a tyre garage which also did alloy refurbs would be *really* popular
#Iceland & #Norway lone holdouts against #EU Commission creating tariff troubles for #steel "over production" . Brewing for months in Brussels, neither country was able to get exemptions and warn the mandated 75% reductions in key ferro #alloys imports could spell the end of #European steel industry...

#alloys were fitted on Tuesday - arrived on Monday but it was pissing down with rain well into the evening so I took the opportunity to treat them to 2 coats of Carbon Collective Platinum Wheels #ceramic coating).
Even then I was working by LED lamp to finish last two corners, yesterday and today have various aches and pains (30 kg trolley jack + 240 kg of wheels hauled about (original 4 taken to my storage container) - I've got respect for those who do this all day!
Fox head labels on centre caps are misaligned (delivered like that from factory), alloy wheel place will send me set of caps + stickers separate so I can correct this (when I get them I might swap out fox heads on original 4 caps for 66mm Wolfsburg logo stickers)
