I contacted Protyre at Colchester and spoke with Jake, a very polite and helpful person who invited me to call in at the workshop. I went along a short while later and met Jake who examined my front... See more

Great price and service

Arrived on time and car was taken to the fitting bay straight away. New tyres fitted in about 25 minutes and a paper health check on tyres and brakes delivered. Tyres were bought in line in advance with a great discount. All very efficient.

Not very impressed initially..

I went into the Reception (Colchester) on a Saturday Lunch time to book my vehicle in for 2 Front Tyres. After waiting a while at reception i was seen my a member of staff that i assume was having a bad day as all i got was a grunt and he was staring at me. Explained i wanted 2 tyres soon, gave him the type of tyre i wanted and got a 'we won't have them in stock' i said you can order them though? Yes, £170 per tyre fitted etc. Which i agreed as i'd been meaning to book it in for a few weeks.

The next part is my own fault, in the past they had said to me don't go to BlackCircles next time, come straight to us. Stupidly i checked Black Circles after having them fitted to find they were £122.22 per tyre fitted! (Exact same tyre)

Edit - After contacting Protyre as requested, i was contacted by Steve the Manager. Full apology given and came to a mutual agreement on the pricing. Handled with professionalism!

First the price by far the cheapest…

First the price by far the cheapest price the garage was equipped with up to date equipment clean and very knowledgeable staff and the person in reception on bank Holiday Monday very helpful I was only in for a/c regas which turn out not to be the only falt so he told me what he thinks it is and parts to use 😀

MOT test

My appointment was 8.30am, job.completed by 9.30am & all good.
I booked on line but couldnt see anywhere to put the code that was given to get £10 off the price so ended up paying the full amount.
Steve the Manager whom I had already phoned arranged for a £10 refund which I have now received .

Friendly acknowledgement on arrival

Friendly acknowledgement on arrival, appointment time kept. Advice offered on tyres and, although not booked, wheel alignment was suggested and fitted in on a busy day. Very professional experience, excellent advice offered and work carried out to high standard.
