"Following a Main Dealer Service the BMW workshop advised my rear tyres be replaced at 3mm and quoted a price. I knew exactly where I was going. The friendly family-run KB Tyres replaced the Yokohama 255x35 ZPS19's with a no fuss efficient time slot to suit me. This GEM of a Company saved me 13 percent in the process. Amazing service. Well done KB Tyres."

"Great website, chose the tyres, the service and the time. They also emailed me to give an approximation of how long it would take, which was very accurate. Would definitely use again."

"Fantastic customer service. Julie the gaffer an absolute angel. Easy online booking, friendly professional fast service and amusing people. You are doing a fantastic job and way better than Halfords who charge more, often don't honour appointments and can't source stock nearly as quickly."
