Excessive pricing with Lacking service

One of the female staff on reception lacked basic customer service skills.Trying hard to push extra sales in an agressive manner.Did not like that.
Mot failure that could not be repaired for 2 weeks due to lack of staff.The price of job needed £436 .Went to another garage and it cost £200 less for same job.Protyre margins unrealistic
Please do not cut and paste your standard answer of contact us to discuss .You had your chance to be bothered about my experience when the car was brought in.Score would have been 1 but only changed it as interaction with mot mechanic was very good.

Good service from Protyre

Good service from Protyre, tyres not the cheapest option but I wanted the same as was already on my van, so I paid for it.
Good advice from them, and as I was buying 2 tyres, they did a puncture repair free of charge, which I appreciated.
I’d use them again.

Disappointed customer service, wouldn’t go back.

I booked in to have two new tyres fitted at 10am. At 11am my car hadn’t moved from where I parked it. We went to a local supermarket to use the loos as the office was so scruffy, old and dirty so I didn’t fancy finding out the condition of the toilet. When we arrived back my car was being fitted with the tyres. Eventually my surname was shouted out, no explanation for the delay, no apologies.

Decent service at a good price.

Managed to get an appointment the same day, two new tyres and an alignment done at a decent price.

Nice to see wheel bolts being tightened with a torque wrench too, as opposed to being over tightened when all the ‘ugger duggers’ are deployed via the impact wrench.

1st purchase from Protyre and great service

This was the 1st time I've purchased tyres through the Protyre site, great choice of tyres available at competitive prices with discounts for buying 2 tyres, the fitting company was local to me Harolds in Penrith you are able to choose a date and time to arrive, fitted in a timereasonable time, whilst you wait, on completion the fitter fully checked the tread depth and wear on remaining tyres also all the brake discs and pads and prepared a comprehensive written report, overall a great service all round, will definitely use Protyre/Harolds Penrith again

Very busy outlet

Very busy outlet, but staff were friendly, professional and helpful and was fitted in, a bit later than booked, but it wasn't a problem.
