What people are saying about us...

  • Really helpful manager and staff. Saw to my problem straight away even though there was a problem with my booking. Thank you!

  • John and his coworkers were extremely helpful and informative on my day of visit. They made me feel well supported as a customer with little experience on tyres, brakes and discs. I had also learnt invaluable lessons from them on the above matters. I had a great customer experience, from purchasing tyres to face-to-face customer service, and will definitely come back again in the future for any car repairs/services.
