What time do you open?
7:30am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday, as listed on Google. Closed on Sunday. The early start means you can drop the car in on the way to work.
Do you sell part-worn tyres as well as new?
Yes. Part-worn and second-hand tyres each come up in 2 reviews, and tyre selection in 2 more. Ring with the size from your tyre's sidewall (it looks like 205/55 R16) and ask what they have in, new and part-worn.
How do I know if my tyres need replacing?
The legal minimum in the UK is 1.6mm of tread across the central three-quarters of the tyre, all the way round. Push a 20p coin into the main grooves: if you can see the outer band of the coin, the tread may be close to or below the limit and should be checked. Bulges, cuts and cracks need looking at whatever the tread depth. The tread check on this site walks you through it.
Can I get an appointment at short notice?
Short-notice appointments come up in 2 reviews. Ring 01582 560601, say what the car needs and when you need it back, and they will tell you what they can do.
Will I know the price before the work is done?
Ask for the price before the work starts and agree it then. Reviewers describe prices as fair and very reasonable, and mechanics who take time to explain what the car needs.
