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.

Bought 2 part worn tyres from this company. One of them had a slow puncture. Upon taking them back…read moreI was told by Andrew Nolan that the tyre was fine when he put it on there and that I would need to pay to have it fixed. You can see a faint yellow circle where it was highlighted for past repair even though I have been told by a couple mechanics that you should not fix side wall punctures as the plug often fails to fix the problem long term. I was told to F'off by an Andrew Nolan who I discovered was the owner of the garage when looking his company up. I urge anyone considering using these cowboys to avoid this garage at all costs!! Needless to say I went elsewhere and bought from another garage. I suggest you do the same!!

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!
