Can anybody recommend any tyre retailers/fitters around the Orpington area?

Obviously there are the usual suspects nearby (Kwik-Fit/National) but wondered if anybody had any experience of these or others.

Thanks.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

I ended up going to Kwik Fit in Orpington High Street - I daren't go anywhere further afield as my tyre was very deflated.

When K-F got the wheel off the culprit was obvious - a nail but too close to the edge to be repaired. But what was potentially worse was the 4 inch split in the inner edge of the tyre which was probably caused by me driving on a deflated tyre!!

I can't say that I got anything but fast, efficient service from K-F. The cost was ludicrous (£140 for a 195!!!) but I didn't have a lot of choice. With hindsight I'd had bought the tyre on the net and took it somewhere to fit. Next time.......
