On the road in Colchester

The tyre jobs we do most for Colchester cars

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

  • 1

    Part worns that are actually checked

    Part worn rules are often ignored. Ours are inspected inside and out, marked correctly and always well over the legal minimum, and we show you the gauge.

  • 2

    Commuter sets

    If you are on the A12 daily, a matched pair on each axle keeps the car predictable in the wet. We will explain the label ratings without the sales talk.

  • 3

    Same day fitting

    No appointment system to work around. Drive in between 9am and 6pm, Monday to Saturday.

Local knowledge

Tyres in Colchester, from people who drive these roads

Colchester is roughly twenty five minutes west along the A120 to our Broad Road workshop. Drivers come over to us for honest pricing, checked part worn tyres and the fact that a walk-in on a Saturday is no problem.

/A120 and A12 mileage

If you commute out of Colchester on the A120 or A12 you are putting steady fast miles through your tyres, and wet grip falls away long before the legal limit. We will measure your tread and give you a realistic idea of how long you have left rather than an instant hard sell.

/Part worn tyres done properly

Part worn tyres get a bad name because of how some places sell them. Ours are inspected inside and out, checked for old repairs and date codes, and only fitted if we would put them on our own cars. That is worth the drive over.

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
