- I have genuinely no complaints as always found the staff helpful and ready to advise on options before any work is carried out, having used tyre spot in both Washington and Houghton for many yearsPeter BirchWhilst on our way into Durham City on our way to a function at a local hotel about 10 miles away the tyre pressure warning light illuminated on my wife’s Mercedes showing significant tyre pressure loss in one tyre. We called into Tyre Spot at Durham and explained our predicament. One of the guys immediately stopped what he was doing, checked all tyre pressures, inflated all tyres to the correct pressure and reset the tyre pressure warning on the dashboard, allowing us to continue on our journey within minutes and reach our destination without being late. The tyres have since remained inflated and without any further issues. What an incredible service! A service rarely seen these days! The staff were amazing and couldn’t have been more helpful. No delay, it was like something seen on a F1 pit lane tyre change! We can’t thank Tyre Spot enough and rest assured we’ll now use this company for any further tyre requirements in the future for our cars. Thanks guys, we highly recommend you. 10/10! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Frank HewisonReally friendly staff, didn't have too book in just drove up and got my wheel alignment done... it was canny far off so it took awhile but for 35 quid you can't go wrong, definitely recommend 👍Stephen Cusack
- Took my car back to Tyre Spot thinking that the leak in my tyre hadn’t been fixed, only to find I had a nail in it….. went to pay for fixing it again and they said no charge.

Very recommended.PaulGood price, friendly , knowledgeable staff. Fast service if you get there early.JayQuick and easy, i would definitely recommend this place for wheel alignment.Ron findlay

Happy New Year to you allPauline Harkerfantastic serviceDavid Burlison - Brilliant men had a laugh very helpful work completed work done as fast as they could aa they were very busy use them for a while now. Thanks to themDExcellent service! Had the rear tyres done about 6 weeks ago and then had to get the front ones done thanks to a slow puncture and them being rather low. So, hopefully we won't see these guys for a while (in the nicest way) but can't fault them for the work they've done!Jeni HartI desperately needed new tyres as was selling my vehicle and it turned out the front 2 were below the legal limit. Stag managed to order my tyres in and get them fitted the same day I called them and potentially saved me from missing out on a sale. There was a bit of a wait but I'm not surprised because they're busy - onviously because they are quality at what they do. The price was also outstanding to put the cherry on the cake. Thanks lads, got yourself a customer for life 👍Niki Bell
