Our 3-step process for choosing tyres

Selecting the right tyres can feel overwhelming, but we make it easy with our straightforward three-step process:

1. Free professional advice

Our expert team provides guidance in person or over the phone, ensuring you get accurate and reliable recommendations.

2. Understanding your needs

We take the time to ask about your vehicle’s make, model, and tyre size to ensure we find the best match for you.

3. Tailored recommendations

To help you make an informed decision, we can provide three price options: budget, mid-range, and premium tyres.

Once you've chosen your tyres, all that’s left is to bring your vehicle to our garage – we’ll handle the rest with precision and care.

Our tyre fitting process: safety and accuracy first

Our tyre fitting process is designed to ensure your safety and vehicle performance. Here’s what happens when we fit your new tyres:

Your vehicle is raised using a trolley jack, and the wheel is carefully removed.
The wheel is placed in our state-of-the-art laser-guided tyre machine, where the old tyre is removed and replaced with your new one. This state-of-the-art machine also prevents damage and scratching to your wheel, keeping it in pristine condition.
The newly fitted wheel is secured onto your vehicle before we tighten the bolts/studs.
Finally, we lower your car off the jack and use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts/studs to the manufacturer’s recommended setting, ensuring optimal safety.

By following this meticulous process, we guarantee a precise and secure fit so you can drive away with confidence.
