Tyre replacement.
I had the car booked in for 9.30am and did not leave until 11.30 am . Then I had to ask the reception to chase up the job. It was only changing two tyres and rear wheel alignment.

Poor customer service, waited hrs for fitting
Twice in the past 3 weeks I’ve booked a time slot via the website to have 2 x 2tyres fitted.
On both occasions I’ve had to sit in reception for over 2 hrs to wait for fitting, despite my allocated booking slot.
The receptionist state they don’t know who is coming and have no knowledge of time slots as they are done on line.
The tyres are a good price and fitted well but the customer service was terrible with no regards for customers sat waiting for hours to have the tyres fitted.
Staff don’t seem bothered about the customers and despite complaining on-line and being told they would investigate the complaint, I’ve heard nothing in 2 weeks.
Good price, poor service and I’d rather pay a little more and have my customers appreciated
I won’t be going here again and heard other customers say the same slagging off protyre and blackcircles

I was charged £45 to get a locking wheel nut drilled. My van was literally away from the unit for 5 minutes where the tyres were being changed. I'd take a guess the drilling was a 2/3 minute job. I think the £45 charge for this was a bit greedy considering I was already giving them my business by having my tyres changed there.
Also, as a lot of other negative posts points out, the waiting time/appointment system is extremely poor.

Inaccurate information on service
Service told me i had 3mm remaining on front brake pad. Checked by another garage and it had 10mm remaining. Very disappointing, would of cost nearly 300 pounds if i hadnt had it checked elsewhere.

Gates tyres
The garage I got the tyres sent to, Gates tyres, said my locking wheel nut needed drilled off, which incurred a £45.00 charge. My van was taken to the workshop for drilling, from the tyre replacement unit and returned literally, 5 minutes later. I'm assuming drilling the wheel nut off took around 2 minutes. I felt this was a bit greedy of them, considering I'd given them business of replacing my tyres in the first instance
