At first they said they'd have to send the ABS off for something. When I reminded them of my research they miraculously fixed it within 24 hours at a cost of over £400. I asked for a breakdown of the costs to which they replied it would be impossible due to the level of work.. They never gave me an adequate explanation as to why it took so long. Avoid at ALL costs.

I always imagined e-tyres.co.uk were the cheapest source for new tyres. However, upon being…read morerecommended this place I have discovered further competitive prices. It's not the easiest place to get to, located at the top of a slope and on the peak of a tight 'boomerang' crescent. Due to limited space inside the depot it is also difficult to reverse from, though someone is at hand to guide you out. I wanted a 195/65/R15/H profile and the cheapest tyre was £38, which was temporarily out of stock. The next one up was £44.62 (VAT, balancing and valve inc.), though this was still cheaper than e-tyres. The mechanic examined my tyre and identified the reason it was losing air was because of bubbles that had formed on the inner lining of the alloy. He helpfully smoothed down the alloy at no extra charge. You don't feel like you're being 'had', which is important to me from any service where my mechanical nous is limited. The mechanic suggested I have another tyre changed, and pointed out the metal spikes that had begun to show from the worn rubber as the reason. Upon seeing the condition of that same tyre, one of the other guys bluntly told me that if he were a judge he'd take my licence away! That kind of stoney-faced statement can be mistaken for rudeness amongst more sensitive souls, but I personally appreciated his honesty. If you're after a quick, efficient service and cheap, good-value tyres then this is the place to come.

So, back to Cabot Tyres I went. Opted for a mid-range tyre that was a very competitive price, even compared to online. Great service, as always, and it would be the first place I recommend to others. Only downside was making a fool of myself trying to reverse out of the building!

A1 Tyres is a great little business that's been serving the interests of the local community for…read moreover seventeen years. Offering a good selection of tyres, with a number of really affordable options, this friendly little tyre outlet is one of the cheapest places to get your tyres seen to in Cardiff. Ronnie March, who set up the business with another partner back at the beginning of the ninety's knows what it's like to weather a recession. Nevertheless, he says that times are tough at the moment and that business is simply "about surviving" until things improve. What he's noticed most of all is that people, who are desperate to stay on the road, are asking him to put on their spare tyres when thy get a puncture instead of buying new ones. These are people with very little money, either drawing the dole, or in minimum wage jobs, where often their hours have been cut. But, without a car their chances of improving their lot are significantly reduced. It's a vicious cycle! Ronnie does what he can to help, but it's clear that he finds the situation demoralising on occasion. Nevertheless, he has a wealth of experience behind him, and a solid set of shoulders with which to carry the present burdens. Being an affable soul, with a sense of civic interest, coupled with a good sense of humour, he will do more than survive I'm sure.

Again, utterly brilliant!…read more Having traded in my seasoned banger for a car that I like less, but that is more shiny, runs smoother and smells better, (what can I say (?) I'm a gal whose crippled by nostalgia!)... I haven't needed to visit Venture Tyres for a while. However, at my latest Suzuki service, at Roadworthy in Bristol, they performed an incredibly thorough check and found a nail in one of my tyres... they even took pictures of it! Venture Tyres, situated on one of the main roads that goes through the industrial estate, is an easy spin from Roadworthy, which occupies a roomy slot on Fishponds Road. So, it was a no-brainer as to where I was going to go next. The route between the two means that I didn't even have to glance the city centre traffic, which is usually pretty hideous at any given time of the day. Greeted on the forecourt the formality of visiting the reception was dispensed with. In fact, my car was on a jack within three minutes of arriving! And it's not that they aren't busy... they are just so seamlessly and effortlessly efficient! I've never seen anything like it...! (But, I think I've finally figured it out... it's because they're so darned happy! Even on a miserable wet and windy day their feet don't drag and there's smiles all round.) Within five minutes the nail had been removed and the wheel had been knocked back into shape. (During the floods I hit some submerged debris and had a blow out. Drenched and miserable I crawled to the nearest tyre place where I was met with gloomy nonchalance. After removing the wheel I was told that it was misshapen, and then steely eyes slid over my face trying to ascertain if a few more quid could be squeezed out of my empty purse... the eyes acknowledged that it was unlikely... The tyre was eventually replaced and managed to stay firm despite the fact that the wheel remained heavily dented. I then paid a premium for shoddy workmanship and went home miserable. Shocking!) The chap at Venture did the work that they other garage weren't willing to do without additional payment, and he managed to remove the nail without damaging the tyre any further. This meant that no repair or replacement was necessary. All of this was done in a fraction of the time that I spent at the previous tyre place... and guess what they charged me...? NOTHING!!!!! That's right, I didn't pay a penny! I cannot tell you how happy (and relieved) I felt! But, instead of going home miserable, I immediately came home and switched on my computer and wrote this review. See the difference!? I say I didn't pay a penny, and it's true... but actually, I did 'spend' one... after the fix I paid the brand new state of the art loo a visit in the lovely new reception area, and lovely it was too... and still no charge! It's perhaps worth mentioning that, despite the name, Venture Tyres is not just a tyre shop... they are a proper garage and MOT centre. I've had a few MOT's done here. And no surprises really... they are a good deal cheaper than anywhere else in their class and the process has always been as easy as a walk in the park. Yep, Venture Tyres make my world a better place! BTW, Suzuki has no need to sweat it... my old car was a Suzuki as is my new one! (I'm just not very good at letting go!)
