Knowledgeable, helpful, professional but slow and expensive. Then again in this present covid climate everywhere is slow due to staffing levels. Good workmanship granted.

I needed two new tyres on my jeep, however they weren’t in stock but were ordered and promptly arrived the next day. I called in today and had them fitted there and then. 5 ⭐️ service, super friendly staff and nice to see the covid restrictions in place and enforced. Thank you very much 😊

Always great service at Armstrong Beattie and the guys in the shop are friendly and helpful. I was very pleased to see they are complying with the current COVID-19 regulations too. I wouldn’t get my tyres replaced anywhere else.
