I've got some nice new shiny front wheels for the cerb and I need to get the tyres changed over.

Who do you lot trust.

They need to be in the Bagshot bracknell area if possible but can travel to a trusted garage.

Cheers

I didn't even need to wait when I popped in there last week, I rocked up about 3:30 had two new tyres and was away by 4 and that included waiting for them to get the current car off the ramps etc.

Just tell them they're new etc. and they'll take extra care but I've never had a issue with them over many sets of tyres.

+1 - only last time I phoned I booked a specific slot by telling him I wouldn't have a lot of time; he then booked me in next when I turned up. I was however spending the best part of £900 though... hehe

Shadow Wheels and Tyres in Reading are excellent and do all the tyres for Lancaster Reading (AM, Jags etc).

Best way with Bracknell is to take all four wheels loose, then you "jump the queue" because you're not tying up a ramp. In and out in 30 minutes tops.

Another thumbs up for Bracknell, had all four tyres changed about 6 months ago, I had a bit of a wait but the service was good, had a bacon roll and a coffee from the cafe over the road and they were £20 per tyre cheaper than the best other price I could find. smile
