The person who was doing the puncture asked me to go with him to the workshop area. Shows me the tyre and states, is that TURNBULLS work when he saw the plug fitted. I said no, i fitted the plug 6 months prior. He runs his fingers through loose rubber shavings and states the car has been running on its rim and the tyre is dangerous so cant fit a plug. I know the loose shavings came from me when i was repairing the tyre with a plug. The hole has to be roughened up prior to inserting the plug.. I had informed another member of staff to tell the guy working on the tyre (cant call him a fitter) to put 33 pounds pressure in the tyre. I had also said to Andrew (the owner) that i cant run a tyre flat, sensors warn me when pressure drops.When i started to reverse the rear left tyre warning light was on. The car can also tell me tyre pressures. front left which he had checked for leak also had 38 lbs a square inch, rear left had 26 lbs a square inch, not 33lbs as requested. The work and diagnostics was so sub standard that when i got home i blew a tyre up myself and deflated the other as the pressure was over excessive and checked all wheel nuts. Overexcessive pressure can cause an accident when cornering as theres less rubber on the road surface.Incidently i thought i would like to mention that i have worked as a mechanic most of my life and also done mots and furthermore my car only two day prior had just had its mot which passed. Can only assume there trying to sell extra tyres before xmas. My tyre which was only half worn could have been sold of as a part worn tyre which is a win win, well for them anyway, not me.. Felt it was a fairer business when Andrews father had it in the old place. DEFINATELY a bad experience for me. I will repair the tyre myself, another plug should do it. With tyre pressure being to high on the front left made the car dangerous when i left the garage. If the rear tyre was much less than it was (26 lbs) it could have come away from the rim when cornering. How hard is it to blow a tyre up to the correct pressure? UPDATE!--have checked front left tyre and at the plug repair , using a little water located small leak at plug (bubbles). Fitted another plug alongside and rechecked, leak stopped! on rear found a screw nail in tyre, removed screw with pliers and inserted plug, tested with water, no problem, all leaks repaired and pressure maintained. Would advise drivers to purchase a plug repair kit from e bay and a small electric pump from Home Bargains for a fiver and your independant.Majority of repairs can be done with the wheel on the car. Repairing a puncture is not a difficult job (well for most people). Abbotsinch would rather sell you a new tyre. Larger premises equates more rent to pay so sales staff must push tyre sales to generate the extra cash needed for the extra rent. If your female dont think about it. They will look at you as an easy target. Dont be tempted to get the tracking done either (another gimmick) 4x4 s climb mountains and dont require tracking reset. With reference to Jack Austins negative review whom i do not know i would like to point out that his review was inserted because he survived the accident. Dead people dont write reviews!

Great garage! Friendly, professional, fantastic prices and most importantly - Honest!!!!...they…read moredon't try and sell you things you don't need like National Tyre companies! They give you good prices first time so no need to shop around, just trust them when they give you the price. Trust me, don't go anywhere else, I certainly won't!

Steer clear! I had a…read moreproblem with my exhaust and took my car to another branch of Kwik Fit, but after having second thoughts decided to take it over to this branch, only a couple of miles away. However, after just a couple of minutes I ordered them to stop working on my car and left. Why? First, they couldn't find the problem even though I pointed to it. Second, they quoted me a price £60 more than their sister branch down the road. Third, the mechanic insisted the car was "on its last legs", despite being just five years old, and said he needed to take it for a test drive so he could identify all the problems with it. Here I was thinking a good mechanic would start by looking at the car, not driving it. The service was appalling, the staff were rude and quite frankly I'm not interested in hearing that a perfectly good car that consistently passes its MOTs and has been lovingly cared for needs to "go straight to the scrap yard". If you must use Kwik Fit, there's a branch in Kirkintilloch. Don't take your car to these cowboys.

These guys went beyond the call of duty for me on a tyre replacement job. Peugeot wheel nuts are…read morenotorious for getting off if the jam. They tried really hard, but nothing. In the end I had to get them drilled off - total design flaw of the car, but the efforts and advice I got was fantastic. Genuine and helpful. Can't recommend them enough.

Saturday was my second visit to this tyre depot. I got a couple of tyres here a few weeks ago and…read morewas very impressed with the excellent service that I got. I did not hesitate to return when my Son needed a new tyre after finding a bulge in his tyre and before going of on a trip on Sunday, Paul could not go himself as he was working four 12 hour shifts before his trip. The owner was busy with another customer but quickly acknowledged me and came over to speak as soon as he could. Paul's tyre size is unusual and he first thought that I would have to wait until Monday, bu the soon found one for me and asked if I could return in 30 minutes. When I came back new tyre in place he did explain that the wheel had been damaged also and he had repaired it as well the day was saved and Paul went off yesterday safe in the knowledge that his tyres were all save.

Hi all, here is my review for turbo tyres. Firstly I would like to mention I'm just a regular…read morecustomer and not in any way related to the owner. And had never met the owner until my first visit. I've done the sensible thing, and before writing this review decided to use turbo tyres services on a few occassions just to get know the place. ** notes - also recommended this place to partner so I'm speaking on behalf of her experience as well. 1st visit was to purchase a couple of part worn tyres just to help my car pass it's mot. ( as this had been advised by the chap who does the servicing on my car) I payed £50 for 2 front tyres 7mm depth almost new in other words. Same make of tyre for both. Have had no problem with the tyres. 2nd visit back tyre continuously needing pumped up. When the tyre was removed the owner pointed out the bubbling seeping from the edge of the alloy wheel and the tyre. This was very apparent after he sprayed the tyre and rim with a little liquid. Was told tyre was good but rim needed repaired. Rim was grinded and he replaced the valve for the tyre total cost £20-£25 again had no problems with tyres since they've been repaired. 3rd 4th and 5th visits, were all for my partners car. Again tyres needed replacing as well as valves on a couple of them. No problems and neither of us have ever had to return after work has been carried out. I like the fact that it's one mature guy and not a team of guys all giving different advice. I also liked the fact that on removing the wheels if there was any problems with the discs or pads the chap at turbo tyres pointed out and showed me. This was important as I had not noticed that my left side brake pad had basically no wear on the pad. The car wasn't pulling to the one side or giving any squeals upon braking. This advice was not only important but saved me money as I could have damaged the break disc. I'm like most consumers I want as much as I can for as little as possible. You definitely get that here at turbo tyres, And myself and partner felt confident after leaving the premises. Also you'll find like a lot of places the more you use the less you'll pay. Apologies for ranting on. But definitely give this guy at turbo tyres a go you won't regret it. Peter and Audur

Serving many commercial companies R&J Strang are experts when it comes to tyres. The workshop is…read moreclean and tidy and customer service is excellent. I have never had to go back with a leaking valve or faulty tyre. Tyre prices tend to be reasonable, though I don't mind paying slightly more for the level of professionalism evident in this company. Most of their business is on the road so there is only a small area which can't fit more than two cars. The other thing that's missing is they don't do tracking, but I still maintain this is one of the best tyre places in the area.

So glad we came here (twice) recently instead of the local Ford dealer. Several people recommended…read moreKwik-Fit for servicing and, indeed, all repairs, not just for tyres. They also warned that the local Ford dealer was extremely expensive. We'd used Kwik-Fit in Wales and been extremely happy with them so it seemed a good idea to give them a try here. We first called in to have the fluid levels, and other things, checked before a long journey a couple of weeks ago. They spent quite a long time checking over the car and adding oil and various other fluids. We were amazed when they didn't charge us anything! Sowe came straight back here for the full service and MOT a couple of days ago. The bill came to exactly what was quoted beforehand, with no extras added. The car had its MOT and was serviced within the time stated and we were delighted with the friendliness and professionism of the staff, particularly John and Joe. Definitely recommended and we'll go back in future.

If booked online and the price was fantastic, and the tyre matched the one I was replacing so no need to shell out to do both sides. The staff were brilliant, great banter and the time passed without thinking about it, and as an added bonus the alignment I'd booked want needed and so didn't cost me anything for the check, I'm fairly certain less scrupulous competitors would have done it and charged me anyway, so hats of to the staff here!

Went for an MOT, only for the car to fail. I understand these things happen from time to time, but…read morewhat I didn't expect was for the time it would take for the car to get fixed. It took me two visits of asking for an update before a part was mysteriously sourced within ten minutes of my second visit. I was then quoted a rather high repair bill but due to desperation, I agreed to get it done, on the assumption that it would also be re-MOT'd at the end of it. I was phoned on the day, after the repairs were done, to be told that I would not be getting an MOT and if I wanted one, due to the time it took to get repaired, I would have to pay full price again. I ultimately took my business elsewhere and regret ever going there.

I have been using this garage for three years as the Manager was a mature old guy who was very…read morehonest and I trusted him. When i went to drop my car off I said to my friend I had a bad feeling and no chance was my car going to pass and guess what it failed. I was quoted £145 to replace a cracked bolt in the suspension. When i phoned around I was told £99 was the max. I queried the cost and £42 was immediately taken off. The pick up time was put back and back as they were having problems getting some old screws off when I eventually did pick up the car I drove to the top of the road and had to come back. Ever time I turned the steering wheel the car shuddered. After twenty minutes of" looking over" the car the Manager returned to say nothing was wrong. When I left the garage the problem had magically disappeared.I will never use or recommend this garage again and if I had seen the previous review I would not have booked. No point getting a cheap MOT when you have no faith in the integrity of the garage. If I knew where the old guy who used to work there had gone I would go there next year but will definitely not be coming back to this place. Avoid!
