Tyres Fitted Wrongly.
Bought 2 front tyres from Protyre after my car failed it's MOT test for damaged tyres. Took the car for retest and failed again on front tyres! They were directional tyres and both had been wrongly fitted. Went back to Protyre and they wouldn't deal with it that day. Had to rebook for the following day.

Decent service but using a Groupon voucher added avoidable complications
I took advantage of a Groupon voucher offer for a Air Con gas recharge and pollen filter replacement, which offered a good price. I called the centre to make the related appointment. When I arrived I was advised that the timing was incorrect and that that the filter had not been ordered, so an overall potential delay of a couple of hours. I left the car and arranged a lift back home. I received a call from the centre to advise that the Protyre website reflected the incorrect gas required for the recharge - this meant a price increase for the correct gas and the need for me to cancel the Groupon voucher and purchase another (for the correct gas) - Groupon process was very simple. I was called to advise car was ready for collection - I asked for paperwork to confirm work done but was advised this was not normally provided when a Groupon voucher was used. I was given a copy of a document issued to Groupon, which provides the basics of what I needed. Overall, a decent service provided but using a Groupon voucher and the confusion of the gas type added avoidable complications.

Tyres fitted
I had 4 tyres fitted about 7 months ago thru black circles. The service was all fine but then I had an MOT done at my regular place 5 months later, who failed my MOT as 2 of the tyres were fitted backwards! They rectified it and then passed me which i had to pay for, albeit it wasn’t a big charge but i do wonder about the safety implications of driving around for 5 months like that. Those who might say oh you should’ve checked them when they were fitted, well I am no tyre expert hence paying and getting new tyres fitted by ‘professionals’ and trusting they did their job.
Needless to say I won’t be using them again.

Overall you provided a good service especially, when a warning light came up on the dashboard when driving away, you made sure every thing was OK and got the said warning light removed. However I was a little disappointed when I asked for the new rear tyres/ wheels to be swopped with the front ones, to be asked for a sixty pound fee? I would have thought with the vehicle already up on the hoist and the power tools that you use, it would have taken a matter of minutes to swop the over!

Aircon regas (Or not!)
I had a great experience here and didn't even spend any money! I booked an aircon regas on Groupon thinking we have had our car 9 years and it has never been regassed! After leaving it with them and expecting the quoted hours wait 15 minutes later I got a call. I was expecting them to say we can't regas it because it is not holding the gas, but no! They said it was working fine and the gas was almost full (Not bad for an 11 year old Fabia!) What's more they didn't charge anything for the checkup and I got a full refund from Groupon in a couple of days.Great service and honesty thankyou.

Aircon check and regas
Went for an aircon check and though the mechanic thought the car needed some further work it transpired that after regasing it worked fine.

I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
I do usually go to protyre for the convenience of it being so close to where I live. I have had MOTs done, Servicing, tyre changed and honestly, i cannot fault them.
I woke up the other day and noticed there was a nail in my tyre it was completely flat.
I managed to get booked in with Protyre on the day and they managed to get it sorted within an hour. Would definitely recommend them!

Poor Service
Booked through etyres, had email confirmation of appointment but on arrival was told no appointment and they were fully booked. Next convenient appointment was in 7 days. Customer service person wasn’t helpful at all. No call to warn me. Two hour round trip and wasted morning.
Customer relations are just as bad. They contacted me on Monday 29th and have ignored me since. Even after requesting me to contact them on here.
