Broken alloy cover
Reception was ok, the man who replaced my tyres broke one of my alloy covers because he didn't know how to get them off! He apologised but I was gobsmacked and didn't report it to the reception desk, I should've but its done. Tbh I think he was annoyed as he was pulled off a job and asked to do my car so wasn't happy.

Good service but very short staffed
Good service but very short staffed, I remember when I could go and wait for an hour or so then get seen. Last couple of trips I’ve had to return the following day it’s driven me to Harry’s tyres half a mile away!

Had pre booked the tyres and time but we ere told it would be over an hour.
Also tracking for rear wheels cost over £40.
We wanted to support a local company even though it was a bit more expensive but then it got more time consuming and even more expensive.

Excellent service.
Made an appointment for 12 noon. On the bay at 12.05. Five tyres fitted and balanced, and on my way shortly afterwards.
Excellent service especially from the two lads who did the job. Very happy as always.

Poor service on three occasions.
Went in for and aircon top up system was working gas removed told me it failed the vacuum test. Money refunded but £80 worth of gas missing took it to another garage same day tested for leaks and passed vacuumed checked again an passed then filled up. On another occasion I went to have my exhaust checked for n a vehicle I had just purchased and they said to spot / tell me the DPF had been cut open and gutted. And also had an MOT it failed on a few blubs (free retest items) didn’t offer to fix them and could not offer the free retest within 24 hours so booked me in 3 days later and wanted £25 retest fee. I did t pay it but it’s just bad practice.
