Tanvic Tyre Distributors

Must have the most irritating reception staff of all the garages I have eer visited in 60 years of motoring. Expensive for what they are. The clowns in the reception area should be sacked patronising and incompetent.

They said they’d ring me to confirm what work needed doing after having a relatively annoying squeaking noise. Never heard back from them had to go back myself to see if anyone had a look at it. They had and done the work without even telling me!
They replaced supposedly the fan belt, 1 week later the problem is back again and they charged me £42 quid! Would not recommend I certainly wont be going again especially as this is not the 1^st time they have done the work without telling me before hand when I have asked them to ring me 1^st!

I agree completely with bakedbeans03 and wish I’d read their review first before going. Took car for (very expensive comparitively) mot, and they rang to tell me it had failed at 11 o’clock. I asked for a quote for the work and was told theyd ring back. They didnt. I rang twice to no avail. Even when I picked the car up at the end of the day they still didnt have a quote for me. When they did produce one they told me that the brakes needed doing (were only replaced earlier in year by another garage) and that wing mirror needed replacing. It took several attempts to ascertain why the latter as they just kept saying «because it failed». Felt like screaming in the end. Can only presume they talked to me like that because I was a woman. Anyway, in end I phoned another garage for a quote on the work they said needed doing, which came in at signifacantly less than tanvic had quoted for even with another mot put on top of this. When did have it retested at another garage found that half the work didnt need doing afterall — including the brakes. Final bill inc a 2^nd mot was less than half of tanvic. DO NOT GO HERE!!!

This is a very poor garage. While for tyres and exhausts they might be cheap, for MOTs they really rip you off. In particular creating extra work where none is required.
My car ended up leaving the garage in a worse state than when it went in.
