On the road in Cressing

The tyre jobs we do most for Cressing cars

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

  • 1

    Pothole damage on the lanes

    The road surfaces around Bulford Lane break up badly after a wet winter, and a hard edge hit can crack a sidewall or knock a wheel out of true. We check for buckling as well as the tyre itself.

  • 2

    Balancing after a hard hit

    A vibration through the wheel at 50 to 70mph after a pothole is usually a lost balance weight. That is a quick fix and a lot cheaper than a new tyre.

  • 3

    Station parking punctures

    Kerb parking around Cressing Station is tight, and pinched sidewalls show up as slow leaks. We find them in the water tank, not by guessing.

Local knowledge

Tyres in Cressing, from people who drive these roads

Cressing sits between Braintree and Witham, and the run up to us takes about ten minutes. We fit new and part worn tyres for plenty of drivers from the village and the roads around Cressing Temple.

/The road surface between Cressing and Braintree

That stretch takes a hammering from farm traffic and heavy goods vehicles, and the patched repairs break up quickly in a cold winter. Hitting one of those edges hard is a classic way to buckle a rim or knock the tracking out, so if the steering has felt different since, get it checked.

/Harvest season punctures

Late summer around Cressing brings mud, stones and the odd bit of metal onto the road from field entrances. We see a clear spike in punctures at that time of year, and most of them are repairable if you bring the car in before you have driven it flat.

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
