I had 4 new boots on the Mondeo back around October / November.

Service still excellent, but nicer place to wait! smile

Paul (on phone) and a few others of the "lads" have been there many, many years, we've grown grey together

Always polite and willing to help, really are customer focused so if you have a problem just tell them

Specialist in performance tyres and their prices are very good, I once rang round several places to find their's was the best quote in the first place

They also do medium and budget price tyres but will recommend the tyre suited to your vehicle - who wants to be on the same road as a performance car with budget tyres

They've been able to improved the reception area over the years by having repeat business mine alone would have paid for at least the computer

Yeah, my cars 5000mile appetite for rear tyres will ahve bought them the sofa!!

(needing doing again, 255/30/18's look great, but they do a)ruin the handling, b) hurt in the wallet department when those pesky wear bars appear.......)

btw, is it me, or are those bars getting closer and closer to the surface of new tyres, maybe they are putting less and less tread on new tyres in a search for performance enhancements etc ??

(don't even get me started on the pointless-ness of the 1.6mm rule.............;-)

I always use them for my tyres. Have had 2 sets of new wheels done there and they've never dented or scraped them and actually were even better on price than buying the tyres off the internet alone! Not even including the price of fitting them as well.

Will always go back there and use them with my little bathtub.
