First time using this company. It was recommended by a friend. Liked the ease of booking an appointment, the selection choice and price of tyres. Fast efficient service. Staff were friendly.

A good experience at Protyre Sowton.
Had a appointment at 2pm, job started right away and back on the road before 3pm.
Fault detail. TPMS light flashing, fault diagnosed, new wheel sensor fitted, all ok.
Good service, apart from hot drinks machine not working.

First class service
I visited the Sowton site twice in a week, once for a replacement tyre thanks to a slow puncture and once for a re gas for the air conditioning system. One booked via the website and one via the telephone. The front of house staff are exemplary in their management of the very busy phone line and desk; juggling multiple enquiries with courtesy and efficiency and offering good advice. If you have booked then they try to keep to time but will also work hard to accommodate drop ins. First class service which is rarer than hen’s teeth these days. Would always recommend.

Brilliant garage
Brilliant garage - can’t recommend them enough. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. They went over and above to sort my car out recently. I’ve been using them for years and have never had anything other than great service.

Unprompted review
Overall, not bad!
They’re always great with availability to get the car in, but every time I come, my appt always goes way over the time allocation, or they run late. Also the last visit I had 2 new tyres done on the rear and the edge of the alloy on both has been damaged, likely from the machine as they were particularly lubed coming out. Luckily I’m going to respray them as the lacker is peeling, otherwise would be annoying.
Shout out to the girl on the desk though, she showed amazing customer service and had a really awkward guy when I was waiting and she dealt with it greatly!

All on reception were very helpful as soon as I walked in. They got me sorted in no time. The service was excellent.
They found I had a nail in my tyre but could not repair it as I was too near the edge, so they found me the best tyre for my needs. They couldn't be more helpful. I would recomend them every time.

Old van for an aircon re-gas, whilst I waited.
Van was in the workshop on time and an hour later all done.
Friendly staff, very efficient service, all for less than £70.
