Prompt service at short notice for valve replacement, new tyre and rebalance. Achieved within 45 minutes from initial telephone enquiry to completed job. Reasonably priced and courteous service from Jim and his colleagues.

Found a screw in my tyre this morning and called up at 8:10am. I was told that I could bring my car down right away. By 8.50am my car tyre was repaired and I was back on the road. These guys were honest, informative and didn't try and sell me anything I didn't need. I will 100% be coming back here as soon as my tyres need replacing. Excellent Customer Service, Keep it up. and Thank you
