First Stop C & R Tyres
Based in Kelso in the Scottish Borders, C & R Tyres has just celebrated 27 years of trading by moving into purpose-built modern premises fit for the 21st century. This is a far cry from the small workshop that we first leased in 1996.
The company is still managed by its founding owner directors, Chris Grindell and Rob Hastie, and is now recognised as one of the major tyre retailers in the south of Scotland and north Northumberland. We are pleased to be a leading supplier of Bridgestone and Firestone products in the area, as well as supplying all other major brands to our wide range of customers.
Apart from car and van tyres, we also offer commercial tyre services to the haulage and agricultural sectors. Backed up by a 24hr callout and national breakdown service we can ensure our customers are always well looked after.
We pride ourselves on providing an efficient, friendly service at all times whilst still maintaining the highest standards.

"After waking up with a flat tyre this week and having to deal with the RAC nearly 30 hours and giving up and sorting it myself Caroline was lovely she got me a tyre sorted within 3 hours and kept it for me while I was waiting on recovery. When I eventually got there I was greeted with a smile and after they had a busy day it was perfect timing for the 4 lads standing like an F1 team ready to fix my tyre, and within 10 mins my car was good to go (I even left before the recovery guy) thanks to all who made a stressful day and a half so easy at the end"

"Called in to C & R Tyres this morning, Tuesday 16 September, at just after 9.30, to get my tyres checked. I got immediate service and was told the front tyres were near the limit so I asked when they could be changed. They did the job straight away and they were quick and efficient. Well done to all the Team for doing a fast and fantastic job! The whole Team are friendly, sociable, very helpful and so efficient. Thank you for an outstanding service. I wish all businesses were this good. All the best, Bill Heaney"
