On the road in Chelmsford

The tyre jobs we do most for Chelmsford cars

Same roads, same problems. This is what usually brings Chelmsford drivers through the gate.

  • 1

    City miles and kerb damage

    Parking, speed cushions and constant kerbing in the city centre take a toll on sidewalls and rims. Both are worth checking before a motorway trip.

  • 2

    Full sets at Braintree prices

    The main reason Chelmsford drivers make the trip is cost. Fitting, balancing, valve and disposal are in the number we quote.

  • 3

    Tracking after the ring road

    Potholes and hard edges pull alignment out. If the car pulls or the tread is feathered, tracking is cheaper than new tyres.

Local knowledge

Tyres in Chelmsford, from people who drive these roads

Chelmsford is around twenty five minutes up the A131 from us. We get a lot of Chelmsford drivers who would rather deal with a proper independent tyre shop than a booking system, and who want the job done while they wait.

/City driving is hard on tyres

Constant stopping, starting, kerb parking and tight multi storey ramps wear front tyres unevenly and scuff sidewalls. If you drive mainly around Chelmsford, check the inside edge of your front tyres, because that is where the wear hides and where an MOT tester will find it.

/Why come out to Braintree

Straight pricing with fitting, balancing, valve and disposal included, no booking system, and open until 6pm Monday to Saturday. For most people the run up the A131 costs less than the difference in price on a set of four.

What drivers say

Word of mouth around Braintree

  • Picked up a screw on the way to work, called Sam and he had it patched and back on the car in twenty minutes. No fuss, no upsell.

    Dan, Bocking

  • Needed two tyres on a tight week. He showed me the part worns, checked the tread in front of me and it cost half what I expected.

    Michelle, Great Notley

  • Steering was pulling badly. Tracking sorted the same afternoon and the car drives straight again. Handy that they are open right through to 6pm.

    Reece, Witham
