So I've got my dreaded MOT coming up and I thought I better get someone to have a quick check over…read moremy car before I put it through. After some research (on Yelp of course) I headed to Gilnahirk Tyres, even though it was on the other side of town from where I lived. I initially called to see what their prices were like and was told it was going to be £20 for a quick check over - I was happy enough with that as I didn't think much needed done. I arrived at 8:20am and it was absolutely rammed, must have been 5 cars queued in front of me - I was actually quite hesitant about going ahead with the service but I popped in to the reception and spoke to Billy and he said Bay 2 would be free in a few minutes! After that it was all straight forward - the car was in for a check over. The mechanic came out and told me I needed two new tyres so I went ahead and got them. £40 per tyre seemed ok with me. I was expecting to pay £100 - £20 for the service and £80 for both new tyres but to my surprise they only charged me £80 as the service was free if any extra work needed completing! This is genius and a lovely surprise. I was home by 9:15 am! The service was great. It may look chaotic but they know exactly what they are doing! They even offer an MOT service where they take your car to the centre for you while you're at work! Easy five stars!

The time I went to Gillnahirk to get new tyres for my beloved first car (which was a Suzuki Swift…read moreaffectionately known as Swifty to all who encountered it!) I had a pleasant and professional experience. I prearranged a time to come down to their garages to get them sorted, which was a painless process. There are about 4 different ramp areas so in busy times you should be able to get serviced efficiently. I was able to get 4 brand new tyres for £90 which was very reasonable. They performed their ask very fast, and I was in and out of the place in about five minutes, I felt like I was in some sort of formula one pit stop! The garage will take payments via both card and cash for when you are short on immediate funds! I have never had to have my exhaust serviced by them, but I am sure that if their tyre service is anything to go by it would be a quick and reasonably priced service!

What fab service! Efficient, friendly, economical and would recommend this company to anybody…read morewishing to have their car serviced. Cheers Colin!

I am currently trying to fix up a moped I had when I was 16 to sell it on, I say trying because I…read moream not getting very far. Unfortunately while working on her, I say her because that's what mechanics say, I could not get the engine to start. My brother suggested tat I should get some quality motor oil to lubricate the engine, I had been trying to get her firing with Tesco's own brand oil that is basically just the juice from the blue and white stripy beans. So I took his advice and headed on over to Colin Adams motor parts, it was a Saturday at around 12am and fortunately the Newtownards shop was open, I wondered in and as I have already explained I am not really an expert on all this stuff so I decided to ask someone who worked there. They were really helpful and pointed out the best 2 stroke oil for my scooter. The shop had a great selection of all things motoring and my brother who fancies himself as an expert told me that it was all very reasonably priced. He even came out with some engine oil for £7.99. When I got home the scooter gulped up the new oil and was purring within 15 minutes, the guys at Colin Adams really do know there stuff. Parking outside is good too, so if you need a large item you should have no trouble getting it to the car.

Bought some paint spray that was mixed up by Colin Adams, I had to wait ages for this to be made…read moreup. Took it home and sprayed the car the colour did not match I completely wasted my time and money buying this paint from Colin Adams. Avoid being ripped off the paint only cost him a few pounds to mix and cost me nearly ten pounds to buy.
