Tyres, MOT, Vehicle Servicing and Stainless Steel Exhausts in Tavistock Devon

We would like to confirm we will be staying open for all our customers and especially our key workers who will still be receiving priority treatment during these tough times. It is more important now than ever that we all do everything possible to stay safe and protect each other.

We are following strict COVID-19 guidelines, we are lucky to have large office and workshop space to allow everyone to distance safely so please do so. In the office our counter automatically gives us a 1 Metre Plus distance, then we have added large full solid screens all around the counter for extra safety.

We ask everyone to use the hand sanitiser provided when entering the office, to wear face coverings where possible and of course always abiding by social distancing. We have got an inside waiting area along with a covered outside waiting area also.

We have invested heavily in several Ozone Sanitizing Machines allowing us to Fully Sanitize our entire premises every 24 hours. So, our office, our customer waiting area and toilets, along with our entire workshop are all treated every day. With these machines we can also offer a Complete Interior Vehicle Sanitization Treatment after we have completed the work on your vehicle. Please just ask for more details.

CONTACTLESS DROP OFF & COLLECTION

Whether pre-arranged or just a drop in, call reception from the forecourt to notify us of your arrival. We will confirm all details and work required. You can then just post the keys through our letterbox or leave them with the vehicle in which we will recover them immediately. When you collect your vehicle it will be left outside on our forecourt under our security cameras for you to pick up. With this option, it is a great piece of mind to use our Complete Interior Vehicle Sanitization Treatment

STAY INSIDE YOUR VEHICLE DURING YOUR VISIT

To minimise contact or contamination you are welcome to stay inside your vehicle during your visit while we carry out certain work, such as while your tyres are being fitted, punctures repaired or simple mechanical procedures. This can be organised over the phone. When you arrive just call us and we will then meet you outside and direct you into the workshop. We will then carry out the work you require. You can then pay with your card over the phone and we will email your invoice to you. You don't need to get out of your vehicle or even open your window.

Along with a large array of diagnostic equipment which covers just about every vehicle manufacturer, and the tools which we are constantly adding too, we can now offer you Full BMW and FORD Dealer Level Diagnostics and back up. With our genuine fully up-to-date FORD IDS/FDRS/GFDRS and BMW's ICOM systems we have access to the same level diagnostic resources you would get at the main dealers, but with the care and quality workmanship together with the honest and sensible pricing you would expect from a top independent garage.

It is becoming increasingly common for control units to require the latest updates or re-programming which requires a re-flash of their ECU, this cannot be done without the correct diagnostic tools and information using the latest software from the vehicle manufacturer direct. For this operation, it is only possible with an Original OEM or approved Pass-thru tool, which we now have together with the trained technicians to use them.

So, the rain has arrived, and it looks like it's staying for the foreseeable, also we are already seeing ice on our vehicles. The tough winter months are not only harder on us but also on our vehicles, so it is even more important to keep your vehicle in a safe and roadworthy condition. While snow and ice present the most obvious hazard to motorists, we all tend to adjust our driving style to suit. Yet damp, wet roads are common for us all year round, although visually no different, a standard tyre's performance is significantly reduced in these conditions, making cold damp roads one of the highest safety risks to drivers.

At TyreMarks we are now stocking a full range of ALL SEASON tyres such as the Michelin Cross Climate and the Maxxis AP3. This type of tyre works all year round but are exceptional for safety during winter months; you really should check them out.

Especially as the chances are your car still has summer tyres fitted, which could prove disastrous over the winter months. If you've not tried all-season tyres before or you're still a bit sceptical don't be, All-Season is by far the largest growing sector of the tyre market in recent years. The tyre tests for the new Maxxis Premitra AP3 all-season have backed this up.

The Maxxis AP3 All-Season tyre was rated 7th of 20 tyres in a test conducted by German Magazine Auto Bild, after achieving the best results for dry braking and resistance to aquaplaning, proving this is a very safe option all year round for any car.
