- I’ve used Tyrespot in Houghton for decades, great set of lads and nothing is ever an issue.
I’ve just been today to get the tracking done and the tech was super knowledgeable and explained to me what he was doing
Car drives perfect
Highly recommendedSimon DomskiAll good.frienly chaps.Trevor HindleGreat staff, so friendly and helpful. Absolutely brilliant service, called them after getting a bad puncture and I took the car straight in and it was fitted with a new tyre in no time and at a fantastic price. I would highly recommend to all.Emma Hurst - Great prices, quick tyre fit and extra help from staff, massive recommendationsLydia BGreat service today from Tyrespot. They kindly checked the tyre pressure on my Motorhome for free previously. One of the tyres has been losing pressure so I asked if they could check for a slow puncture or faulty valve. About 45 minutes later and without being asked to pay them a penny for their time (I did offer on both visits) they took the valve out, cleaned and refitted it and we were on the road again. Who says that good customer service doesn't exist these days!John RickardI urgently needed a tyre at 4pm on a Saturday. The boys squeezed me in at the end of their day when the other shops I rang either didn't bother answering or could only accommodate me on Monday. A family trip was saved by Craig and the team's work and I'm grateful. Great service, well ran and a good price. Thanks again!Mark Rowcroft
- This place has a bit of Irish luck about it. I had a blow out limped in here 45 minutes later I was all done. I was expecting a cost of £100 easy... Not at all £70 wheel off, tyre changed, wheel balance and done. 45 minutes and the people who work here are easy going and bang on professional.Rob.D.MQuick..honest..Good Price and servicetrev tateGreat service (pardon the pun). Quick, efficient and reasonably priced. More importantly, they don't rip you off!margaret seaman

- I was running early for work so popped in to see if they could change a tyre before I had to open up and they fitted me a new tyre there and then. Gave me tons of advice as to why the inside of the tyre was wearing quicker than the rest of it, and the tyre was cheaper than expected, which is always nice! I couldn't have asked for better service! 10/10.Matt WalkerTop service providers first visit was speedy nd helpful staffLawrence TibbettGood prices for tyres, great, quick service.

- Excellent service and value for money. Honest too, not like others in the same industry trying to make money or of you.Rob DelgardoWe came in with a problem with our balancing and the guys at Tyre spot couldn't have been more helpful. Fully explained why we were having the issue we were and even showed us what was going on. Really decent price for the quality work that was done. We left feeling a lot happier and more confident. Thank you so much we will be back in the futureAshley HardyExcellent service. Took car with a nail in the tyre which had somehow come out of it's own accord. No puncture located and not charged for checks.Darren Vest
- On my first visit at this place faced some issues but the issues got resolved immediately. Took a Toyota auris mk1 e150 for replacement of front driver side drop link and tyre tracking. The job was carried out within an hour while I was comfortable in the waiting area. Highly recommend insisting on taking to Mark at the reception.Shrikrishna MauzoDid me a real favour which saved me a few quid this morning and gave me some sound advice.
Second time I've used Tyre Spot this month and on both occasions I've been very pleased. Very quick service, a good bunch of lads and very reasonable prices. I can't fault them.
