    Reviews

    I've been going here for tyres (and occasionally brake replacement) for 20 years. Staff are absolutely LOVELY, the work they have done on my car has always been impeccable. I've no idea if prices are good as I've never been anywhere else & don't intend to.

    Excellent service and pricing. Super helpful, and really easy to book, drop off and collect. Couldn't recommend more. Relative to main dealers, an absolute pleasure to deal with.

    Called them to see if they had a tyre for my bike. They didnt but could get one that afternoon. On arrival my bike was quickly in the workshop and the tyre fitted for a lot less than I had expected to pay. Friendly staff who know their stuff.

    Well priced with good service. I had my rear tyre repaired a few months ago and all is still well. I like how you can see the team working on your motorbike while you wait.

    Very good service. Very quick, friendly and knowledgeable guys. I went there to replace a tire on my moped but was told and shown that I had zero front breaks left. They fixed both the wheel and the breaks in about 45 minutes. Price was reasonable. I was still on time for my next appointment. 5 stars!

    Absolutely excellent. We've been coming to Watling for car, motorbike and van tyres for at least 10 years, and they have always been exceptional. The service is friendly and quick, the range of tyres available is broad and they really know their stuff, if you're on a motorbike and you're looking for some new rubber you can bet these guys will have a selection and will be able to recommend something to get just what your after from your motorbike, two thumbs up

    Great place for tyre and service for your bike and car. Having been a fan of specialist bike shops for years I visited Watling for an MOT on a bike two years ago. Now I can honestly say that I would not go anywhere else with general mechanical issues with my bikes or car. Staff is very friendly, honest and competent, service prices are reasonable and albeit bike rubber prices are a bit on the high side, you can bring your own and get them fitted if you are so inclined. Highly recommend this place.

    Contrary to the other reviews here, my experience has been good. I was able to chat at the Excel Bike show about a variety of tyres and a deal was done with top prices and fitting as part of the deal on my Harley. On arrival I was able to see all the work done on the bike, was consulted over a couple of things before they did anything and care was taken while carrying out the work. My thanks go to Andy and his team for a positive experience which was the opposite of the other reviews. They also served several other bikers at the same time who seemed happy too.
