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.

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.

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.
