Protyre Autocare Hemel Hempstead 12 May…

Protyre Autocare Hemel Hempstead 12 May 26
I was getting the two front tyres changed on my car. During the removal of my old tyres, one of the valves needed to be cut off the wheel due to corrosion. The valve is the type with a tyre pressure sensor. With the tyre off the wheel and the old valve sensor broken I was quoted £90 for a replacement sensor valve. If I chose to just have an ordinary valve fitted the warning light on the car dashboard would remain on. At this point I really didnt have much choice than go with the new sensor valve at £90 eventhough at the time I thought this was very expensive. Later I checked the retail cost of these sensor valves and they were priced between £45 and £55. I really feel that in the moment when I didnt have any choice I was charged an inflated price for the sensor valve. I wouldnt have minded paying a little bit more but nearly double the retail price is not customer friendly at all. Such a shame because up until that point my customer experience with Protyre had been very good. I have since been contacted by Protyre customer service, they listened to my complaint and offered a very agreeable solution. Sometimes things go wrong and whats important is how a company put it right. Thank you Stacey you did a great job resolving my complaint.

Prompt and efficient

Arrived just before my appointment time, and pleased they were ready to start the MOT immediately.
Suitable area to sit with coffee available.

First class

We turned up at Kiplings this morning having got a dead battery over the weekend. We met with Roy working in Reception who advised that they could fit a new battery more or less straight away. We were very pleased with this news and agreed to wait on the premises whilst the work was carried out. We noticed how clean all the areas are and all staff are knowledgeable and helpful. We were offered coffees by the mechanics when they came into Reception which was a nice touch. The work was done at very reasonable cost and we experienced a very friendly and efficient service by Roy and the mechanics.

Great staff

Great staff. Alex was very helpful and preponed the service date as I was travelling the next week. Provided a list of the issues that needed work and completed full service and MOT all in good time.

Avoid. Scam. Flat tyre within 4 hours.


I replaced all 4 tyres. Got a flat tyre within 4 hours. They instantly blamed something else until they had no choice but accepting they sold me a faulty tyre. This got me on the road side at 10pm under the rain. No apology, no gestures. I wrote to customer service, still awaiting for an answer. Never again.

Awful experience

Awful experience , went for a mot mentioned I needed things replacing which were only changed a month ago. Told them to leave it after a failed MOT and was still charged for labour.
Took it to my usual trusted place in kings Langley and cost less than a third of the price that quoted ( 1200 ) please be careful here.
