Can't overemphasise how decent this place is. Used them quite a few times over the years and never been less than 100% satisfied. Helpful, polite, reliable and scrupulously honest - the exact opposite of the stereotypical dodgy mechanics. At 120 for three new tyres on a nissan almera, I'd even call it cheap. I don't write many reviews on the internet but these guys have earned one. Thanks, MiniMax!

I can not recommend this garage highly enough. I used another local garage to diagnose a fault using their diagnostic machine, but they failed to diagnose the problem. I popped into Mini Max Tyres on a Friday afternoon, and Lee (Manager) arranged for my car to be looked at straight away and the fault was diagnosed within the hour.

I can't praise Mini Max highly enough! Noticed a flat tyre on my way to see a patient today, managed to limp my way to them and despite being massively busy they were able to replace the tyre and send me on my way. Thank you to everyone involved as I was able to continue with my working day and not let anyone down.

Brake light dashboard light came on. Guys pointed out the brake fluid tap had been open a while, rectified in 10 mins and topped up with brake fluid. Probably as a result of my last service so I've picked it up with dealer. All free of charge, so that trust sits well with me to use mini max in the future for a trusted and fair service.
