- Used the Scotswood & Consett branches alot, first time at this branch. Uber canny staff, comfy relaxed place to sit. Altho spent 95% of the wait at nearby scran haunts for coffee & pesto chicken, there's a bunch. Very happy, will come againMatt RockeReplaced all 4 tyres on my x trail with valves, balancing and wheel alignment!
Great care taken with my car as anyone who knows me can testify to how well I look after my vehicles.
NO windy gun used wheel brace and torque wrench (fantastic).
Wheels are powder coated and no damage/scratches at all.
Properly jacked up no damage to jacking points.

- Good pricing and very quick service. Great bunch of lads always willing to helpPhilip RenwickHad the tyres I needed in stock, got them fitted straight away.Gary ClarkI've been using tyrespot since I got my first car in 1977. They're always friendly and helpful, always knowledgeable, always quick to sort out problems and always charge a fair price. One time they could not do enough to sort out some warranty work and while they don't simper over you like some do, they make you feel welcome and valued. I really can't fault them.Gary Finnigan

I’ve been using Tyre Spot for over 4 years and the service is second to none. Always friendly and they always do a great job. I won’t go anywhere else. I highly recommend a visit to tyre spot for tyres. They also offer other services too.Майкл
- Fantastic service today, my tyre pressure was well down so the lovely man put air in them and also gave me sound advice about metal hub caps which could bond onto the valves potentially not being able to get them off so although my metal union jack ones look good they could result in having to get new wheels!! Came away with 4 rubber hub caps too....thank you so much for your kind help today 🤩Julie HarrisonExcellent fast efficient service from pleasant staff. Will definitely use these again.Graham HoggCalled in here on a recommendation for getting a part fitted to my van to help me continue my journey home. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you 🙏R Senior

- I've been using this place for my tyres since I started driving, it's always the same faces and they're all decent lads. I've only gone elsewhere once in the last 16 years because all the staff were on lunch. It's always been a prompt service, waiting for 20 minute at most when it's busy (usually on a night when people are coming after work I' guess)Danny MeekSpot on place, been a couple of times and always had cracking service.
My backbox came off my C320 due to corrosion and I took it to Tyre Spot in the hope of getting it sorted.
They couldn't fix it but removed and John (I think that's his name) advised me of a place in Shiremoor that could possibly sort it, I went there and it's all done.
Asked how much I owed them and they said nothing.
Top quality place with decent guys who know their stuff and if they can't help you they'll give you advice or help you find something or somebody else who can 👌👌Simon BrownI’ve used Tyrespot in Houghton for decades, great set of lads and nothing is ever an issue.
I’ve just been today to get the tracking done and the tech was super knowledgeable and explained to me what he was doing
Car drives perfect
