Our verdict

Our judgement: this branch suits you if you want national-chain booking, seven-day opening and prices fixed before you arrive. We rate the published price list a strength because you can compare it line by line with an independent quote [1]. The rating gap against local independents is real, so confirm the final fitted price for your exact tyre size or service schedule before you commit.

Strengths

  • Prices are on the page: fitted tyres from £29, MOTs from £41.99, interim service from £115 and full service from £205, all shown with what each includes [1].

  • The branch page names its address on Haybridge Road, its phone number and full opening hours across seven days, with free Wi-Fi and waiting facilities [1].

  • Scale shows in the evidence: 825 Google reviews at 4.1, seen 3 September 2026, plus named customer comments dated January and February 2025 [1][2].

Limitations

  • The 4.1 rating sits below every independent in this round, so read recent reviews before you book [2].

  • The page states Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency approval for its MOT centre [1]. No insurance details are published, scored as insufficient evidence rather than as a failing.
