Fitting and balancing
Off, on, balanced on the machine and torqued up properly. We show you the tread depth on a gauge rather than guessing at it.

Autumn 2026 slots are open
Booked in for a time, not for the morning
A tyre and alignment workshop in Stone. We run to a diary, so you come at your time rather than sit in a queue. If you keep a second set with us we wash them, store them dry and ring you before the season turns.

Your time is your time
The diary runs in fifteen minute slots. Your car goes on within ten minutes of arriving, October included.
Balancing is in the price
We do not add balancing or a pressure check on top of a changeover. The price on the list is the price you pay.
Dry, racked storage
Racking in a heated unit, 5 to 18 °C, out of the sun. Sets are logged against your registration, not a paper ticket.
You pay afterwards
Card or cash. If a puncture cannot be repaired we say so straight away and charge you nothing for looking.

What we do
Tyres, wheels and everything round them
Cars, 4×4s and vans up to 3.5 tonnes. We do not do motorbikes or lorries — we have not got the machines for them and would rather not do half a job.
Puncture repairs
A puncture in the tread gets a proper vulcanised patch from the inside, which lasts the rest of the tyre’s life. A sidewall cannot be repaired and we will tell you so.
from £25 per wheel, usually within the hour
What can and cannot be repaired →
Wheel alignment
If a tyre is wearing on one edge only, the problem is not the tyre. We measure on a laser rig and you get a printout from before and after.
£45 / £89 check / both axles adjusted
When it is worth doing →
Wheel storage
Wheels sit out the half year dry and out of the light. They are logged against your registration, the tread is measured, and we ring you three weeks before you will want them.
from £40 per set, per season

How it goes
From booking to the call in spring
Five steps that repeat twice a year for every customer we store for. None of it is yours to remember.
-
You book
Through the form above or on the phone. We text a confirmation within minutes, or by the end of the day in the busy weeks.
-
You arrive at your time
Park in front of the unit and hand the keys in. The car goes on within ten minutes of the booked time.
-
We fit and balance
We show you the tread depth and the date codes. If a tyre is close to the limit we say so — and we never push you to buy them here.
-
Wheels go into the racking
Washed, tread noted, positions marked and racked under your registration. You get a confirmation by email.
-
We ring you, not the other way round
Three weeks before the change we ring or text with the slots we have. You just say which one suits.
Wheel storage
Wheels you are not tripping over
A set of wheels takes up the best part of a square metre in a garage and weighs over eighty kilos. Here they sit on a rack in a heated unit, out of the sun and the frost, so the rubber lasts longer.
- Washing, checking and measuring the tread are all included
- Sets are logged against your registration and insured to £2,500
- Storage customers get 10 % off the changeover
- You can take them away whenever you like — ready by the next day
Inside the unit
This is where it happens
No studio and no stock photographs. This is the unit on the Whitebridge estate in an ordinary week in October.
What to expect
Three answers, before you hand the keys over
A puncture in the sidewall cannot be repaired. Nor can one within 25 mm of the edge of the tread, and nor can a run-flat that has been driven on. We check, we show you, and we charge nothing for looking.
We will not tell you a legal tyre is illegal. The limit is 1.6 mm across the centre three quarters. We show you the gauge and say what we would do — then it is your call, and you can buy the tyres anywhere.
Alignment is measured, not guessed. You get the printout from before and after. If the numbers were already inside tolerance we say so and charge for the check only.

The rush starts earlier than you think
By the middle of October we are booking a fortnight ahead. Storage customers get first pick, because we ring them before the first frost is even forecast.
