Brilliant guys who looked after me very quickly when I found myself in the middle of Castlebar with…read morea flat tyre and unable to get the nuts on my wheel off to do the manly quick tyre change I had envisioned. I was able to get myself to the garage but they only charge 20Euro for a call out (local I presume), which seems very reasonable. The cost of taking the huge nail out of my tyre, repairing it and putting it all back together was just 12 Euro, which was, again, tremendous.

Until yesterday Togher Tyres was the best in the west.

The manager advised replacing, and I asked for longer lasting and quiet tyres if possible due to my hearing problem. He wrote a note listing 4 top brands and two digit numbers (too low for the all in price of 1). We discussed his recommendations' qualities before leaving. Upon arriving yesterday, a technician greeted me. I told him I wanted 4 Michelin tyres and gave him the mgr's note. He looked at it and said, that can't be the price, they go for 140 each. I said, "if it is, I want 4 all day long...so let's check". The tech said something to the mgr. I heard the mgr say, he knew that's decibels. I replied, I honestly didn't, in a normal voice, and said, "you could've written db by the numbers." The manager angrily said, "you damn well knew it!" With my integrity questioned, I took my keys from the tech and turned to leave without saying another word. The mgr approached me, invaded my space and said, "escort him to the door and lock it behind him", then followed me to my car. I ignored him as he slagged me with my shocked daughter in the car listening. This could have been avoided if Togher had a website with tyre prices and specs. An hour later I bought locally paying 2.50 less per Michelin Primacy 4 tyre (incl. rotation) than the stated by the Togher tech. I thought the mgr would simply say something like; no, that's not the price, they cost ... A bad day doesn't excuse this.
