Tyre Safety

We love working on your Toyota, but we’re even more passionate about your safety. Because fitting the right tyres is only half the story - they need to be regularly checked and maintained to make sure they’re performing to their maximum capacity.

Your braking, steering, economy and driving performance are all affected by how well your tyres are doing their job so it pays to take care of them. Remember we also offer our Price Match guarantee on tyres too.
