Customers mention caravan tyres, tow bar fitting and puncture repairs, and say the work is fast and easy. One who had come from Nelson with a caravan that had failed its warrant of fitness was helped on a stressful day, with a tyre replacement and a tow bar fitted. Another passing through had a quote emailed quickly, and the tyres were fitted first thing the next morning. Customers also say the pricing is good. Tyre General Christchurch, 0.7 km away, has 289 reviews at 4.7. Our pick in Wigram for caravan and trailer tyres, and for a quick puncture repair.
