Known Mark for many yrs now and the service delivered by him and the staff is always of the highest standard.
Pricing is also more than competitive along with a great standard of customer service throughout. The big, so called tyre operations could certainly learn how to engage with customers from Mark and his team..

I arrived without an appointment and was seen immediately by friendly and helpful staff. It took them about 10 minutes to fix loss of tyre pressure caused by corrosion of an alloy wheel and they charged me just 15. What's not to like?

Very good people to deal with ! Been with my friend to have four new tyres on her car .Only on the premises for just over half an hour and that included a FREE check of the alignment of the front wheels ! No adjustment required they said ......they could have easily said adjustment required and fiddled around and charged her .So very honest guys .! Good old school service ...long may it continue ! I will certainly use these people again !
