The store is also recognised by the Cooper 100K club for customers who have driven 100,000 km on one set of tyres.
Customers praise the friendly team, the quick service and the pricing. Wheel alignment comes up most often. One customer with a screw in a tyre had it pulled out on the spot, and was given about 20 minutes of advice on wheel nuts and tyres at no charge. Another said a repair and new tyres were quick and easy. Courtesy cars are mentioned too. Our pick in Hornby for wheel alignment and a quick, honest tyre job.
