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.

"First visit yesterday to renew tyres.Very efficient staff and work was done very professionally.
Caroline in reception could not have been more helpful and I would have no hesitation in dealing with them again if any other work is needed."

"Staying in a friend's driveway in my campervan in Kelso, woke up to a puncture and honestly thought I'd have to miss my day out to Edinburgh to see the tattoo. Not a problem for these lovely guys who fixed my puncture ( on my friends driveway) while I enjoyed a great day out! Thank you so much! Truly great service from a lovely bunch. Xxx"

"Five stars for this great team. I happened to be in Kelso visiting family from the midlands and got a puncture that needed fixed before the long drive back. Really helpful lovely woman on the phones and reception who told me to just come in, no appointment necessary. Drove straight in the team got started on fixing my puncture which was a huge screw through the inner section of the tire. The team fixed the tire and paid and out the shop within 23 minutes. Really great friendly service. Highly recommend."

"These guys were recommended to me by a local garage and they did not disappoint. I had to go to them after another garage did a bad tyre installation and they went the extra mile completely. If I could give them 6 stars I would. Thank you all so much and I will be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"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"
