My MOT test was performed promptly and professionally. The problem causing the failure was dealt with the next working day. The staff were helpful and efficient, and the service excellent.
Easy to book an appointment online. Also helpful when I phoned to see if they could help with a particular car issue. Friendly and polite. No nonsense. Rang promptly to say when my car was ready. No u... See more

I bought 4 new tyres last week from the Ipswich branch. The car display this morning was showing a tyre logo asking for tyre pressures to be checked etc.
I think this was more of a car computer exercise.
I called in and saw Jack who was very polite and helpful. In my humble opinion as a retired Manager he is an asset to your business and should be congratulated on his customer service.

Disappointing Service – Time to Move On
I’ve been using Protyre for years, but my recent experience was very disappointing. The team was quite grumpy and unhelpful throughout. My car was booked for a Gold Service and MOT. They called to say it needed rear brake pads, discs, and tyres, and that it would fail the MOT. They quoted £370 for the brakes and high prices for tyres.
I asked them to postpone the MOT and had the work done at my local mechanic instead — same parts (premium brand of my choice) cost £180, and the tyres were much cheaper.
When I returned to Protyre for the MOT, they failed the car for front tyres, claiming there were three cuts — an issue they hadn’t mentioned at all a week earlier. They implied this damage happened while the car was parked, which seemed unlikely. I replaced the front tyres elsewhere and returned, but again had a frustrating experience. They left my wife waiting for ages before even inspecting the car in 2 seconds to check the new tyres. Had to pay more for MOT as it was cancelled and refunded when booked with the service
After all this, I’ve decided it’s probably time to move on. Too many inconsistencies, too much hassle, and a generally unpleasant attitude from the staff. Also worth noting — the expensive Gold Service doesn’t even include AdBlue top-up, which was disappointing.

Iam extremely disgruntled with the service done at Protyre britannia branch on the 1st of July.My car needed regular oil and filter and other basic service but instead the results were disastrous to say the least. The suspension came back buggered, and on top of that the performance of the car deteriorated After a month the low oil level notification came on the dash and upon checking it was significantly low and darker than usual, clearly an indication that no change was done.
I regret taking my car there
