At 34/36 King Street South in Temuka, Tyre General serves town drivers and farms across South Canterbury. It sells tyres for cars, 4x4s and SUVs, agricultural machinery, light trucks and vans, and trucks and buses. Services include puncture repair, wheel alignment, balancing, rotation, batteries, wheels and retreads. The website also lists a free tyre safety check.
The business offers 24/7 mobile service. The website says after-hours support is for approved account customers and Farmlands or RuralCo card holders, and call-out fees apply. It has more than 50 mobile service vehicles across the South Island, and sends technicians to farms to repair tyres on machinery. The phone numbers are 03 615 8736 and 0800 484 725. Customers describe the staff as helpful and willing to go above and beyond, even when the shop was busy. One got a mobility scooter back on the road before Christmas, and another had two tyre issues fixed without a tyre change. A third stopped in with a flat before a trip and was served straight away. Our pick in Temuka for a quick puncture repair.
