Functioning brakes are essential to safe driving. If you frequently rack up the mileage on motorways or spend your days driving around busy city centres, you might need servicing and brake repairs more often than you think.

Wheel Alignment
Regular wheel alignment can optimise your car's handling and help to minimise the wear on suspension and steering components. It also extends the lifetime of your tyres by ensuring that the correct part of the tread contacts the road at all times.
A warning light on your dashboard can be a worry. With a diagnostics check the issue can be quickly identified and stop a huge expense later down the line
We will check the condition of your car battery, including your battery starting and charging systems, using the latest testing equipment. This is a quick check and will only take a few minutes to complete.

Hybrid and Electric Car Service
As the cost of car ownership continues to rise, motorists are increasingly choosing plug-in hybrids as their vehicle of choice. Hybrid car ownership has soared in recent years, with over half a million currently on European roads.
While hybrid vehicles can be cheap to run, they can be costly to maintain. At our Protyre Autocentres we offer Bronze, Silver and gold hybrid servicing for all hybrid makes and models. Our autocentres carry the latest equipment too, allowing our expert technicians to diagnose problems quickly and efficiently.
Electric cars have finally come of age. The best offer virtually all the functionality and practicality of traditional petrol or diesel cars, while creating zero exhaust emissions and the potential for very low day-to-day running costs.
With state of the art technology we are now able to offer the servicing of full electric vehicles at our specialist Electric and Hyrbrid Autocentres. We also have electrical charging stations situated at our specialist Electric and Hyrbid autocentres for your convenience when visiting us.

I have been going to Protyre Colchester for a good few years now as they are local to me and always do a great job. My most recent visit was less than a week ago. I noticed while cleaning my car that there was a screw in one of my front tyres although the tyre was still inflated. I wanted to get it sorted as it was only a matter of time before it started to loose air pressure. As the tyre had less than 3mm of tread left I decided it should be replaced and to get both of the front tyres replaced to ensure the car was balanced on the road. I went online to the Protyre website to reserve the correct size tyres and find an available fitting time slot. I went for Falken tyres which Protyre are main agents for and keep most sizes in stock all the time and they are of good quality and I have had in the past. I got very lucky and there was an appointment in about an hour so I booked and paid online and headed off virtually straight away. The really friendly staff had the job done in well under an hour while I waited. The car drives perfectly as they always do with new tyres , especially noticeable on the front and really happy. :)

Booked in for MOT and service at 10:30, arrived and booked car in. Phone call at 11:20 asking where my car was as I had it booked in.
Phone call to tell me additional work required at 15:20, (new belt for alternator and new tyre £180) another phone call at 17:00 to tell me they have overrun and the MOT won't be completed today...??!?!? Agreed to leave car there as MOT would be done at 09:30 (although they open at 08:30). I've phoned them for an update - only just starting the MOT at 10:50...over 24 hours after leaving my car with them. Should be ready in 45 mins....oh another call, won't be ready for at least 2 to 3 hours as there's a car stuck on the ramp...!!!
What a shambles, no customer service and no actual service provided. Will not use again.
