Protyre Autocare - Cheltenham Opiniões 

Courteous and most helpful service from Manager Mark Baker yesterday and this morning. I'm a driving instructor who needed a replacement tyre at very short notice for a driving test at 11am this morning. Trust my car to have low profile 'special' tyres on 20" rims that no one seems to carry in stock. Damaged tyre was spotted at 4:30pm the evening before. I contacted several Cheltenham fitters with no luck before arriving at ProTyre. Mark said not to worry and ordered the replacement tyre to be delivered next morning i.e. today. "Come in at 8:30am and we'll have it sorted for you." And that's just what Mark and his team did. Thanks Mark. Great service. And my pupil passed first time with just two minor faults. What looked like a disaster turned into a good day.

They really took an interest in other the car and my requirements. The level of care & attention was above & beyond what I was expecting but full marks to the guys who looked after the car. They obviously took pride in the job which was appreciated. I would hesitate in recommending the Cheltenham Protyre to anyone

Service carried out in an efficient and timely manner

Have to say had a great experience with pro-tyres from booking on-line, to being met by manager Mark and his most helpful team. Car booked in for 8.30 work started promptly while I waited, and completed with-in the time stated on-line., also have to comment on such a clean and tidy waiting area, most impressive and coffee available and offered.

Admittedly, Protyre were the 3rd tyre place I visited on Saturday after 2 other places were unable/unwilling to help.
These guys were lovely. Helpful. Informative. Sorted out a botch job of a tyre change I'd had somewhere else for an amazing price.
These guys WILL now be my first go to for everything car.
Many thanks Protyre Cheltenham. I'll be telling my friends.

Always great service from Kingsditch team. Knowledgeable and trustworthy

Very easy to book and prompt and courteous service on the day. Had MOT and Gold Service and will return again.

Update: 14 August 2026

I got in touch with Protyre as requested by them below. I then had to chase that to get a response. The call I got was short, sharp, and unhelpful: "yeah you'll have to pay for those anyway because they're past guarantee". This only added evidence to my suspicion they use parts that'll perish soon after the year is up. I urge everyone to avoid at all cost, it'll be cheaper in the long run! In contrast to other interactions, the person I just spoke to was not friendly. I've downgraded from two to one star because of this experience.

Original review:

The folk here are very nice and approachable, but the parts they are using are evidently very poor. 18 months ago I had my track rod ends replaced by Protyre. This week, they were the cause of an MOT failure; one side a complete failure, one an advisory, so both realistically need replacing again to the tune of £400-500. Before then, the ends didn't need replacing for 18 years! This is just unacceptable and, in my view, evidence of cheap and substandard parts being used. For this reason, I would avoid at all costs if you have any repair work that needs doing and go to a specialist or Halfords. I have been into Protyre multiple times before for tyres, tracking and MOT, and they're always friendly and helpful. I likely won't return though and wouldn't recommend.

Very helpful
Very friendly
Excellent price

Other than having to wait over 3 hours
12 o'clock appointment left at 3.30
Other than the wait service was excellent great helpful team would comeback just not at the weekend

I booked an appointment for a tyre change x 2 and free tracking the appointment was at 1130 I arrived at 1115 I was told it would take an hour we didn’t get the car back until 1330 also the cleanliness of the toilet and waiting area left a lot to be desired on the plus side the staff were very good

Protyre Cheltenham booked MOT 7/7. Went back 14/7 for disc brakes to be replaced. Manager absent. Young inexperienced, immature ( sighing and rolling eyes) male displayed incompetence, not knowing about authorization required for Arval Lease cars???. Mine is not their first one! Wasted a morning! Went back today 28/7 only to be told midway through the process that they discovered my vehicle has electronic disc brakes and they don't have the software downloaded for it. I must now go to a Nissan dealer. Another morning wasted when they could have done some forward research and thinking. How do they not know all this before hand, I ask you???
To top it all, no protective paper was put down in the foot well to protect my carpet and so now I have big black grease marks! I would not go back there with my next Arval Lease car, no thanks.

The price was good but the service was poor. I had an appointment for 1pm but no work was carried out on the car until about 1.40 because everyone was having lunch. Even after text many staff were wandering about with mugs of tea. There’s no point in having an appointment if it coincides with lunch or tea breaks. Must do better.

Comfortable waiting area. Good discussion about options including services other local businesses might offer (not offered by Protyre). Car returned tidy.

Not a great experience, overall. Having booked in to get two tyres replaced at a particular price, I was told it would take about an hour (which seemed a bit excessive, but OK), but rather ruined my plans when it actually took closer to 2 hours. I was also told that I would be charged an extra £5 above the arranged price - pretty unprofessional, especially as the agreed price was a price-match with another local tyre-centre! Over an hour later, still waiting for my car, I was talked-into buying new pressure-sensor collars/seals for £15 each, despite being unconvinced that they were required... Whilst it feels almost like a 'surcharge', it may have been a positive rather than a negative.
OK, so I was overcharged and unsure about an extra couple of 'bolt-on renewal' items, and my day was pretty-much dictated by the job approaching twice its advised time (which had already sounded quite lengthy), but what marks this requested review down more significantly is the safety of what I was left with.
It seemed a full pressure-sensor reset had been triggered but, because I was so very late in being able to leave the tyre-centre, local traffic was so bad that it took over 4 miles of stop-start running/queueing before the reset completed and told me that the new tyres were significantly underinflated - one of them quite seriously-so.
Because I'm so fastidious about my tyres, as they can affect so much of the driving 'experience', the other two acted as a very good reference to what the pressure-readings of the new pair actually should be, particularly as there had been such little duress (e.g. bumps, quick-stopping, etc.) placed upon all tyres in such ridiculously slow driving, and with the day being so warm - so why was one registering about 2PSI under the cold-pressure minimum (displayed on the door-frame) and the other more than 5PSI below??? On that warm day, with only very 'mild driving', I would expect at least about 3PSI over the cold-pressure minimum, and both tyres to be fairly well-balanced.
Without a reliable gauge (I was made so late, remember, so had to abandon returning home), adjustments that I could make once the tyres cooled were very hotch-potch and a very iterative process, but I was eventually able to get the two pressures into a safe range before driving further afield and back, and it was fairly easy to correct it fairly accurately on the following morning: I say 'fairly' because it was somewhat difficult to allow for cooler temperatures on a warm morning, where one tyre is assumed 'fairly' nitrogen-full and the other assumed to be significantly less-so.
The thought occurs that if these tyres had not been sold to me, or another who knows to check tyre-pressures and maintain tyres themselves, etc., they could remain chronically underinflated and imbalanced in pressure for a long time, potentially dangerous to them and to others around! Very, very poor. In my case, I've only been left with a few miles (negligible amount) of uneven wear to the shoulders of two tyres and an imbalance of nitrogen content - and having been very late due to trying to correct the under-inflation piecemeal during a journey!

To summarise... The good: tidy, mostly thorough job without weights hanging off or seal left visibly on wheels. The bad: The job took ages (eating significantly into 'extra time' that I did not have spare), tyres left significantly (one side) and chronically (the other) underinflated - which could have been dangerous (especially 'at speed') and, if uncorrected, caused very uneven and premature wear; also, price increased on-the-day, over the agreed amount

That local Protyre may not be expecting a good review anyway, after changing the price (albeit only by a fiver) at the stage that there was little I could do about it except 'play the availability game' at zero-hour. I guess, then, the request for this review was from Protyre 'HQ'.

Would I go back there for the next tyre-order? I don't know. I'd certainly have to make much greater allowance for time-delay and ascertain that tyre-inflation would be at least balanced across the pair and to at least a reasonable accuracy. Oh, and that an arranged price is exactly that. The otherwise-seemingly-thorough job does compare well to others.

Prompt service and strict attention to detail - highly recommended

Even though there were only two employees on duty they worked efficiently and competently to accommodate the various customers who came in, whether it was a one-off or a specific appointment.
They were cheerful, friendly, and made customers feel welcome, even when they had to say 'sorry, we cannot help you today'. A pleasurable experience.

Able to get the car in straight away where they kept hold of until they had time to do the work. Work completed within the timeframe they advised. Very polite and professional

Fantastic customer service by Carl and the team. Always excellent with honest options and knowledge
