    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.

    This tyre place must be the best in Cardiff. You won't get ripped off with silly prices like the…read moreoutrageous Kwik Fit people. Rang them up the other day and they wanted 48 pound off my daughter to fix a puncture!!!! With A1 tyres owner Ronnie you get sincere cheap prices and he always has a smile on his face with a friendly word too. To prove the popularity of A1 he has many loyal customers from when he started up years ago.I talk to them while waiting my turn and they have nothing but praise for this hard worker Ronnie at the front of his business.Give him a go and you will see what we all mean.

    Simply needed a replacement tyre - the man I dealt with (I guess he was the manager) was lovely. He…read moreordered the tyre in first thing in the morning and when I returned mid-afternoon he changed it free of charge. I'm a bit clueless when it comes to cars but I didn't feel at all confused or patronised here. I'd feel quite happy walking in there again.

    Work near this garage and have always thought they were okay…read more However they changed an exhaust for me a month ago and the new exhaust makes my car sound like a tractor. So loud that people stare at me at traffic lights. No new exhaust should be noisy! The owner refused to change it and said it 'blows fumes out' so it does what it should. He acknowledged that he had put a cheap exhaust on, and had also made a comment about my car needing to be scrapped (it's a tidy R reg.. no rust, silent engine, perfect drive), and clearly decided to treat my car as such. He told me the noise was because my car's emissions were out. I may be female, but I know when someone's talking a load of rubbish. Having had other garages look at it, they have said that the new tailpipe is shorter than the one he removed and should be either longer, or angled downwards. Again, the owner of City Tyres keeps saying that 'it blows air out' and that he will not replace it as it isn't faulty. When I pointed out that the exhaust should be longer, he told me that I 'should have gone to Toyota'. I'm currently going down the Trading Standards route with this guy. He is patronising, sexist and obnoxious. Don't go there. I will update as things unfold. ** Have increased the ratings slightly. Hmmm. I went back armed with DOT guidelines and a load of legislation provided for me by Trading Standards regarding the sale of goods or services. All of a sudden the owner stopped being quite so condescending and argumentative, and started staring intently at the order catalogue and then said that the supplier had given them the exhaust for a hatchback instead of a saloon. So, too short, then. As I had been saying all along. They added an extention to the tailpipe.. and at this point the owner disappeared and I was left dealing with one of the mechanics, who was a whole lot more pleasant. It cost me a whole load of stress, several phonecalls to Trading Standards, a visit to another garage, and a very unpleasant shouting match over the phone with the owner, who insisted he was refusing to change anything. Note of warning he seems to think that shouting loudly and repeating the same phrase over and over, makes him right. Going back there was pretty hard, given I will usually do anything to avoid confrontation. If he had listened to me at the start, admitted he'd fitted the wrong exhaust and treated me with a little common courtesy, I would be giving them 5 stars. I work approximately 30 feet from this garage and it's very convenient but I will never, ever go there again. A shame, cos the rest of the lads are pretty nice guys.
