- Got my Kia Sportage wheels balanced and they did a good job. After about a week I thought there might be a problem so I took the car back. The man there took the car and immediately checked every aspect of the wheels. The fault seems to be the cheap tyres fitted (not long had the car) move about a little bit. He really put my mind to rest. Definitely recommend this place!Mark AlexanderVery friendly, reasonably priced, quick and efficient service. Trusted their advice, no pressure to buy what is not needed like some garages I have been to. Would highly recommendDenise ClarkeSpot 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 ๐๐Simon Brown - First class.

- When I arrived I was met with a smooth, well-organised drop-off process, with great facilities available while I waited.
The team really listened to my concerns, especially as I was worried about jack pads being used correctly when changing the tyres on my Tesla Model 3 Performance. They not only used the jack pads, but even cleaned them before placing them back into the bag provided โ which really shows attention to detail and care.
They reassured me that Iโd been given a great tyre recommendation, and their knowledge and confidence put me completely at ease. You can genuinely feel that this is a family-run business โ friendly, honest, and customer-focused from start to finish.
A cracking bunch of people. Iโll definitely be coming back with other vehicles, including our off-road Polaris.
Keep up the great work, I hope to be a long term and reoccurring customer!
