Tyres fitted while you wait

Your tyres are the only thing connecting your car to the road, so it pays to get them right. We supply and fit a wide range of brands and budgets, balance and fit them properly, and dispose of your old ones responsibly.

We’ll happily check your tread and pressures for free and tell you honestly whether you need new tyres yet — we won’t sell you rubber you don’t need.

When should you replace a tyre?

The legal tread limit

Driving on illegal tyres risks a fine of up to £2,500 and 3 penalty points per tyre — so four bald tyres could mean losing your licence. Many tyre experts recommend changing at 3mm for wet-weather safety. We’ll measure yours and show you exactly where they stand.

1.6mmMinimum legal tread across the central three-quarters of the tyre, around its whole circumference.

Exhaust repairs

A blowing exhaust, a sudden drop in power or a loud rasp usually means an exhaust problem. We check the full system — from manifold to tailpipe, including the catalytic converter and any DPF — and replace only the section that’s gone, not the whole lot, where that’s the right fix.

Tyres and exhausts are checked in your MOT too — if yours is due, we can do both together.

Questions, answered

What is the legal tyre tread limit in the UK?

1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre and around its entire circumference. Below that it’s an MOT failure and illegal to drive on, risking a fine and penalty points for each tyre.

Can you repair a puncture or do I need a new tyre?

A puncture can often be safely repaired if it’s within the central area of the tread and the tyre isn’t otherwise damaged, following the British Standard. Sidewall damage or a worn tyre means replacement — we’ll inspect it and tell you honestly.

Should I buy part-worn tyres?

We’d generally advise against them. Part-worns have less tread to start with and their history is unknown. Budget new tyres are often better value over their life.

My exhaust has got loud — is it serious?

A louder exhaust usually means a leak or a corroded section, which can also let fumes in and fail your MOT. It’s best to get it looked at promptly — pop in for a free check.
