Good Work !!

Always deliver. Always excellent and I’d recommend them every time

Very Rude after agreeing a price and not wanting to honor it. My wife didn't need to put up the shite she got....

Friendly and welcoming

Do the work quickly, cleanly and efficiently

Give a detailed report on the condition of your tyres, tread depth, pressure etc, plus condition of the disc brakes.

Very good service without fuss. Highly recommended.

Used these guys for the first time found them great and very friendly happy to please deffo use them again

I thought the point of booking a time and your order online was so the appointments can be planned and managed. Very slow staff but what was the most frustrating thing is that a customer who just walked in and didn’t book got seen straightaway and it had gone past the time I had booked and I was still waiting!

Had pre booked mot which failed due to x 2 rear shocks. They carried out the work that day (2.6.26) however it wasn't until today (9.6) that i had cause to open the storage boot and noticed that everything that was usually neat and tidy had been dumped back in and the boot liner was all twisted and ill fitted, the rear light covers were missing. I found one under the spare tyre compartment and affixed it. I drove to the centr explained the near side one is missing. They tried to blame me but i didn't remove the liner!! The manager has agreed to pay for a replacement cover if i can order one! This is not the 1st time they have returned my car with parts missing after working on it. I won't go back (except to get reimbursed for the missing part).

Helpful, good value and prompt service. I would always reccomend Protyre

Booked in to get aircon fixed but their machine was broken, they tried to call Maidstone for me but they did not answer the phone went over there and they were fully booked. Called Sittingbourne on Thursday machine still not fixed but they called me back later that day to tell me it was fixed and I could come in on Saturday to get it fixed

I recently purchased two Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres online from Protyre, together with TPMS “Metal Service Kits” and wheel alignment.

The biggest issue was the lack of clarity during the online booking process. One of my TPMS sensors had already failed, and the website presentation strongly suggested that the TPMS kit would resolve the issue. However, when I arrived at the branch, I was told the online product was only a valve kit and not the actual TPMS sensor. I then had to pay an unexpected additional £144 for replacement sensors.

I was also informed that tyre rotation and TPMS configuration/relearning would involve additional charges, despite neither being clearly explained during the online booking process. The tyre rotation was eventually completed without extra cost, but only after discussion at the branch.

What made the experience worse was that the TPMS relearning process was not actually performed after installation. I had to do this myself at home using my own tool. After doing the relearning, it became very clear to me that only the faulty sensor appears to have been replaced, despite being charged for two new sensors. Before relearning, the dashboard was still communicating correctly with one of the original sensors, which makes me seriously doubt that the second sensor was ever changed.

I raised these concerns with customer service. They replied quickly to my initial complaint, but after I responded explaining why I still doubted the second sensor replacement and requested a partial refund, I received no further response.

To be fair, the tyres were fitted correctly, the tyre rotation was eventually done, and a puncture repair was carried out free of charge. However, the overall experience felt unclear, poorly communicated, and significantly more expensive than expected.

My main feedback to Protyre is simple: improve transparency on the website and ensure customers clearly understand what is and is not included before arriving at the branch.

EDIT:

After posting my original review, the Sittingbourne branch contacted me directly very quickly to discuss the situation in more detail.

Although I still believe the online booking process and TPMS service descriptions could be much clearer, I appreciate the fact that the branch took the time to explain their procedures and address my concerns professionally. We discussed the TPMS replacement process, tyre rotation, relearning/configuration procedures, and the misunderstandings that happened during the visit.

The branch listened to my concerns respectfully, including my doubts about whether the second sensor had actually been replaced, and ultimately offered a partial refund as a goodwill gesture, which I believe was fair and appreciated.

The most important point for me is that they were willing to engage with the complaint seriously and work toward a reasonable resolution instead of simply dismissing the customer’s concerns.

Because of this, I feel it is only fair to update my review and recognise the effort made by the branch to resolve the situation after my initial experience.

EDIT 2:

Shortly after posting my previous update, the TPMS fault warning appeared again on the dashboard. At that point, I genuinely believed that perhaps none of the sensors had actually been replaced, so I returned to the branch requesting a full refund.

The discussion became a bit heated because the branch understandably did not want to issue a refund without first opening the wheel to inspect the sensor. In the end, we agreed to dismantle the wheel with the faulty sensor, and it became clear that the original factory sensor was still installed. The replacement sensors used by the branch have a distinctive blue colour, which was clearly different from the one fitted in the wheel.

Ironically, it was actually the second sensor — the one I originally doubted had been replaced — that had now failed, effectively confirming that it had not been changed during the original visit.

To their credit, the branch handled the situation professionally after this was discovered. They installed a brand new sensor and did not charge me for the replacement, which I genuinely appreciated.

Special thanks to Adam and Connor for their help and professionalism in resolving the situation properly in the end.

Was asked to bring my car in on time to ensure replacement tyres could be worked on at scheduled time. Arrived at 10:20 for 10:30. I was asked if I would wait or go and be called when the work was finished. I decided to wait. One hour later my car had not moved from where I parked it!!
I decided to leave and was told I would be called when ready.
No phone call!! So at 14:45 I returned and car was ready.
I was told that they had to inform me of the further work which they said they had to advise me on. As I had already booked a service at another garage I said there was no need. They said I they would send it all via an emai with an invoice.
Needless to say the email has not arrived even though I phoned to request it.
Overall very poor customer service and care.
Never again !!

Very helpful staff and explained about my mot after they had finished
