Unlike Kwikfit or Formula1 they manage their bookings so that you are not left waiting all day or have to leave the car for hours on end.

Booked my car in through the website, took the car there, waited for like 45 mins and everything was sorted and keys were handed back to me.

All went well with me.

I love the team at Protyre!!

I love the team at Protyre!!
They explain what needs doing to my vehicle and why in simple terms for the non mechanically minded. They will also tell me the truth - I have had several garages tell me work needs doing way before it is needed or that doesn't need doing at all but these guys give me faith and confidence and thats why I keep going back.
The service has always been brilliant, the prices are competitive and they always make sure they offer you the best price possible. Whether I am booking in with the reception team, having an MOT or asking them to do the impossible they all go out of their way to deliver for me, I'm really grateful.
Thanks team :)

Booked in for MOT and service at 10:30

Booked in for MOT and service at 10:30, arrived and booked car in. Phone call at 11:20 asking where my car was as I had it booked in.

Phone call to tell me additional work required at 15:20, (new belt for alternator and new tyre £180) another phone call at 17:00 to tell me they have overrun and the MOT won't be completed today...??!?!? Agreed to leave car there as MOT would be done at 09:30 (although they open at 08:30). I've phoned them for an update - only just starting the MOT at 10:50...over 24 hours after leaving my car with them. Should be ready in 45 mins....oh another call, won't be ready for at least 2 to 3 hours as there's a car stuck on the ramp...!!!

What a shambles, no customer service and no actual service provided. Will not use again.

No use using a standard reply on here. You could have spoken to me when I picked up my car.

Felt like I was being set up to spend more than I needed to

I went for a tyre check up and was told basically I needed four tyres because replacing the front one with a different brand to the other would cause issues. The back tyre was found to have a small nail in which was removed without my permission and I was told the same thing. That tyre is still at full pressure and no visible issues almost a week later. I asked for them to email all of what they recommended with a quote for the tyres and I have received nothing. As a woman going into tyre shops you are vulnerable and I felt like I had to make a decision there and then, which I didn't want to. Not great overall and left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

Very impressive and quality service

I contacted Protyre at Colchester and spoke with Jake, a very polite and helpful person who invited me to call in at the workshop. I went along a short while later and met Jake who examined my front tyres and confidently identified a tyre that was out of shape. Having given me various options he booked my car in two days later for the front tyres to be replaced. Throughout he explained everything to me in an extremely polite, confident, and professional manner. He really was very impressive.
I duly attended again at the appointed time to have the tyres changed and was greeted with civility and professionalism. With employees the likes of Jake, Protyre’s continued success is assured. I hope his managers and hierarchy appreciate the quality of service he provides.
