Does anyone know of a tyre fitter around inverurie or North Aberdeen area that offers a tyre storage service?

Thanks,

Andy.

Tyre Storage? I've never heard of such a service being needed. How many tyres you needing to store?

I can't help with a dealer but I have heard of people leaving their winter tyres with a dealer over the summer and vice versa, I guess the dealer makes money on changing the tyres twice a year, or they may charge for storage.

Just out of interest how much are you looking at spending a month on storage?

Give them a ring and ask. Last year it was £10 per tyre per year.

I was asking because I have a spare couple of hundred square feet in a warehouse and thought it might be worth looking into offering tyre storage. It would probably need to be at least £10 per set of 4 per month to be feasible though

Thanks for that. I contacted a tyre supplier in my area (Tyre Devotion) and they do free storage if they supply the tyres. Seems quite reasonable to me.

Haven't used them in a couple years for tyres but if I do need tyres fitted Tyre Devotion are the first number I'd call. Good choice IMO.
