Car Tyres

In Covid situation I would prefer to have my tyres fitted at home, Beverley East Yorkshire.  Any recommendations welcome.  Has anybody used  Halfords ?

    Have used BlackCircle several times and they offer a mobile service... obviously its subcontracted to a local firm. Havent used their mobile service personally but havent had an issue with their chosen partners for fitting and normally been cheaper than the national chains. 
  • I have used Halfords mobile fitting. Very good and never had any issues.

    Being a Moneysaving forum I would like to note though that Halfords tyres are not the cheapest! In my area Formula One Autocentres or Protyre seem to be the cheapest online taking into account discount codes. Although it does depend on the tyre and location! Protyre I believe do mobile fitting but F1 autocentres dont.

    I've never used Halfords mobile service but do know that there are some local Halfords i won't use and others that I will.  As I don't live near Yorkshire at all I can't recommend - but just wanted to warn there are differences.  Might be worth asking on a local site like NextDoor.

    Halfords bought National Tyres back in December (2021).

    I second this having used 3 different Halfords in my area - some I would recommend, some I would warn others off. 
  • Used BlackCircles before, turned up at fitting partner garage at agreed date and time only to be told that tyres had not arrived as BlackCircles were out of stock. No communication from BlackCircles and I still had to contact them myself for a refund. Waste of time and journey.
