Average prices but dreadful fitting, broken TPS sensor that was ignored and hidden causing a day to sort. Poor balancing (needed to be re done at my expense) Customer service is a joke and do not care. Maybe some good mobile fitters out there but not the one that put x4 tyres on my car. AVOID

Trying to get hold of someone is very difficult. If you go back to the tyre garage and ask for a email they don't know. I had appointment booked. Rang me to say running behind which I already left to drive to the garage. Started tyres an hour after booking time. Then damage a sensor valve which they said they didn't do. wasn't sure which one as there was nothing wrong with them before I went in. It was a year ago only just trying to sort it now as family health issue and this on top didn't help. Shame the people who use to run that garage we're brilliant. Beleave there manager left ill health and then gone down he since

I've twice been to national tyres this year and I should have been put off the first time however wrote it off as minor. This time the scale of the incompetence and attitude is just not worth the hassle of ever going back. Phone call made to ask if they could sort tyre with a nail in it. Told to come in within the next 30 mins (I was there in 10) to be told to come back in an hour and a half so had to go home. Went back and an hour later told it can't be fixed. So they put the spare on and I gave details (name, address, phone number, email) and ordered two tyres as another one is close to the limit. Went out to my car and the wheel arch is scraped so deep there is no way it can be rubbed out. Went home and doubted the tyres were ordered at all because the guy at the desk was just not interested and talked over me the whole time to other staff. I discovered my alloy wasn't put back in my car but surely they would just keep it as the tyres would be in soon. A week later I called them to find out what was happening some random story about not being able to contact me. I can understand that with only giving my name number email and address how difficult I'd be to track down (apparently every one of them was taken down wrong). So new tyre gets put on and yep only one had been ordered. They then asked me where the plastic bit was to put the spare wheel back on. I said I didn't know and hadn't seen anything as nothing was put back in the car. He actually made it my fault they couldn't put the spare wheel back on adding "well what do you want me to do with it". I could think of a few things pal. Now I'm stuck with a tyre on the back seats (can't use the boot). No way I would ever go back.

Ordered 4 premium tyres at £600 and fitted on their next available date. They reduced their selling price on the next day for £510. I wrote to ask if they could look into my order and make the deal fair, no reply at all but charged on my card for the original sum not even a single word of reply after my 2nd email. I can’t believe that a company backed by Halfords the customer services could be that indecent. Similarly, Apple offers price guarantee to return the difference within a month if their product is on sale in within. BTW, the fitting is also below par, staff were nice and their services were punctual and promising. However, it seems that they did not put sufficient lubricant on the edge of my rims when fitting, edges are scratched a bit, they also used a metal pry bar to remove the original deadweights from inside of the trim causing deep scratch marks nearby. All in all, my experience with National Tyre is unpleasant this time, disappointed to be honest. Won’t recommend or shortlist this company for my other cars.

Had 2 new tyres fitted When i got home I washed my car and then noticed one of my diamond cut alloys was damaged which was not there that morning prior to having my tyres changed. I will never ever go back to national tyres.and will not ever recommend them.

My partner turned up to Selby branch, at 4pm, with a screw in the tyre and told them she needed a fix to get home, as she was an hour's motorway journey away with a 6 month old in the car. Staff turned her away because they were too busy to do a 15 minute repair.

I am a nhs worker and had been night shift. Unfortunately I had a puncture and managed to get home safely. My husband had to drive over to National Tyres in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland with our car. Staff werent interested even though we have given them lots of business. We had puncture on our existing tyre which is only 3 months old and needs to be replaced. We've already bought 4 new tyres from them in past 4 months. We tried to book a slot on line to get new tyre without success. Will never be back at this garage. We have a mobile mechanic coming to our house today from KWIK FIT. They were very helpful and understanding. Asthey know I need the car to go back out on night shift at hospital, tonight again. Thanks to Kwik Fit for their help. Kwik Fit you know how to treat your customer. Will never us National Tyres again. Quitr sad, to treat a good customer like that. Shame on you.

Was given a price over the phone. The day after having taken half day off work when I turned up at the garage they wanted to double it but didn't really want to do the job. They also do not have a complaints procedure worth it's while. Poor garage - won't return.

The service has been shocking at National Tyres. I left the garage with my steering wheel at a 90-degree angle where they had misaligned my tyres for the second time. They also did not return my locking wheel nut which they are taking no responsibility for. My tyres have worn incredibly quickly due to poor alignment. This has been verified by another garage.

2 new tyres fitted today, booked in at 8.30am and completed before 9.00am, happy with the service, however I was informed I needed my front brakes done, at a cost of £277, I priced this with 4 local reputable companies who gave me prices varying from £70 to £106,it may well be that there may have been some other issues but certainly not clarified during discussions, I will obviously get the brakes done with another company unless there is indeed other issues and their price is competitive

Rubbish tyres / Rubbish customer service I purchased a pair of tyres pirelli from nationaltyres in manchester, and after 2 months I found one of the tyres has a bulge in the side wall not what I would expect from pirelli tyres as they are supposed to be the best. I contacted the company national tyres and they refused to assist. The tyres cost me £145 each just took my money and interested in helping me in anyway

This place is good for fitting PRE-BOOKED TYRES only. Never get you car serviced or MOT here because they will invariably find problems with the tyre, which is not a problem; but what follows is a problem. I had given my car for servicing only. I was told that the tyre tread depth is below legal limit and needs changing. The mistake I made was that i agreed for the change. Cheapest of the cheap tyre worth less than 100 quids was fitted in both from wheel for 169 quids each. For that price, I could have fitted a high mid-range to premium tyre. They even defend themselves saying that since I didn't pre-book the tyre, they can change whatever they want. I contacted the customer care, they also sing the same song. Also, I have never received a serviced car ever without a wash. For the first time in the UK, I had to collect a fully serviced car that was not washed !! I didn't know that Halfords have taken over national tyres. I would have avoided it if I had known because I avoid any organisation associated with Halfords like leech. sales invoice number 4551805 Customer account number 17450 Job sheet number 4565120 National Tyres, scott hall road, sheep scar, Leeds

I booked online and PAID in advance for two tyres to be fitted at Dunfermline on Saturday 23rd at 9 am. Even after arriving at 8.30 am, and being told only two tyres to do before mine,so won't be long..9.45 am was when my car was moved into bay, after asking was just told 'we are busy' how and why did it change? Maybe him standing for 15 minutes leaning into a car chatting has a bearing on that...so took just 15 minutes to change two front tyres. Slap dash...then my car was driven out, with drivers side window down, why? And door wide open and the car RUNNING, the guy just left it walked into the office and the original child shouted. 'THATS DONE MATE' are you not meant to show the CUSTOMER the work carried out? And im definitely NOT YOUR MATE....horrendous obnoxious arrogant children working there
