WHO WE ARE (and what makes us different)
We've long believed that it was possible to sell top quality products at low prices without the high pressure selling techniques that so many of the national fast-fit chains use. We recognised the truth in the old saying that "people deal with people", and we knew that, along with top quality products, most customers simply want honest, impartial advice, impeccable service and low prices - without the need to haggle! And if they could have a pleasant, air conditioned waiting room with comfy chairs, refreshments, TVs, WiFi and amusements for the kids, then so much the better. Not rocket science, as they say, so why was nobody doing it?
In January 2009, having been joined by some incredibly talented and loyal former colleagues (Paul, Sam, Turbo, Steve - take a bow!), we opened the doors of our Riga Wharf, Bristol Road premises and began to put our business model to the test.
Our offer clearly struck a chord with local motorists and the business took off, but after just 6 years of trading we'd outgrown Riga Wharf, so the search was on for new premises. The ideal site became available just 100 metres down Bristol Road, so after a quick (??) £250,000 refurbishment, plus the installation of new equipment, October 2015 saw us embark on the next stage of our journey.
And what a journey it's proving to be. Now employing 16 staff, we began 2017 by serving our 80,000th retail customer and selling our 200,000th tyre. Our new premises and equipment are proving to be worth every penny and now allow us to work more efficiently whilst offering our customers facilities that are genuinely second to none.
I went here to replace a set of tyres after a puncture. Really helpful staff were able to find the right tyres and hold them for when I arrived, and the process was done within the hour. There is a decent waiting area with a TV, kids' area and vending machine. The total price given included VAT and balancing, and the garage staff replaced the space saver back in the car as well as letting me check the work before paying. A really good service and I'd definitely return next time I need tyres.
Good knowledge. Great prices and very helpful
Absolutely brilliant service. Staff all very polite and helpful.
Good service, provided confidence. Comes with a fair wait if you just drop in though.
Prices are excellent, very friendly staff, excellent customer service and they do not try to sell you anything that you don't need. This will be my permanent go to shop for tyres even though it is a 25 minute drive from home.
Tyres from all the leading manufacturers in stock, and fitted with care by our skilled technicians. Drop the loose wheels in at your convenience, or phone for a Ride In - Ride Out appointment - ether way, you'll get a great deal! We sell and fit more motorcycle tyres than anyone in the county, why trust your safety to anyone else?
From a simple diagnostic check to a full service, we'll keep your car running smoothly without it costing you the earth. We offer expert advice, written quotes, and all the time you need to come to a decision. Try us and find out why we say "there's no hard sell with us".
We're rarely beaten on price, but in the unlikely event that someone offers you a better deal, contact us with the details and we'll do everything we can to match, or even beat that price !
