Excellent customer service, often you can pop in and they can fix whatever it is while you wait. There is a waiting room and toilets which is a plus. Great range of services.

Report
Went for two new rear tyres and a wheel alignment. Station tyres were unable to complete the alignment despite keeping my car for over two hours. They claimed that the car had been fitted with sub-standard alignment hardware and that the bolts had been damaged. I was given a rather grumpy feedback from the reception when picking up my car. I took the car to my mechanic who fixed the alignment bolts, although it was not clear how they had been damaged. I called station tyres to see if they would realign the suspension and they had no interest in helping me or supporting the quality of their work

I went for wheel alignment there twice as I was recommended by a friend but the first time they didn't do it as the the tracking rod end was seized but I was charged anyway. Went the second time after changing the tracking rod ends somewhere else and after doing the tracking they wanted to charge me again full price which I didn't feel it was fair. As I didn't pay the second time they didn't give me the tracking report. Then as I was not sure if they did the job properly I went to double check at another garage and apparently they had done a very bad job as one of the front wheels was 9.5mm out

Very professional service, very knowledgeable staff who really want to help you out and make a difference. The workshop is by far the cleanest around which is rare and refreshing to see. Nice to find a garage who are genuine, well priced and care about your car. Would recommend to anyone.
