Sorry it's a very late review.
Back in November I got run off the road in the dark and ripped my tire only to discover when pull over in a layby my locking nut key was damaged. My only choice was to get towed to a garage by my breakdown. I was recommended treadfirst and I was right to listen. So very helpful in sorting the entire issue as quickly as they could

0 stars. Went for tyre puncture repair, they repaired the side wall of my tyre which I’ve since learnt they absolutely should not of done. This came undone within 24 hours leaving me needing recovery by the side of the motorway, AA was shocked they had repaired the side wall. Phoned tread first to complain and was told it would go to head office and to wait for contact from them but haven’t heard anything in well over a week.

Managed to fit me in on a busy day, my wheel locking nut was broken, they managed to get the spare wheel off, locate me a new set of bolts, and replace the tyre, very stressful day but the guys here made everything super easy, thanks again!

Arrived 9am for my appointment to have a simple puncture repair. I had a busy day ahead so booked in advance. A puncture repair takes 20-30minutes. At 9:45am (45mins into appointment) I checked the car park and my car hadn’t moved!, so I asked at reception and it was only then told that they decided to inform me that they were running late (no apology). Ended up leaving at 10:30am, so 1hr30min for a puncture repair. Appalling customer service, with absolutely no apology at any point at all.
I run a business, and with my clients if we are running late we call to tell them so they have the opportunity to reschedule or arrive later, or at the very least inform them upon arrival.
Makes me appreciate my own team at work even more, as even on a bad day they do not forget the basics of customer service.
Just because it’s a garage and not a restaurant or department store, there is no excuse for not treating your customers well.
9 years using them for personal and business. This is the second bad experience I’ve had, so won’t be back. I don’t think they will be bothered in the slightest.

Brilliant place so friendly. Delt with my punctured tyre so quickly, Had to have new tyre fitted which was so fairly priced, even told mechanic had just had alloys sprayed to take care.. He did, and done a great job. The lady at reception was so lovely and friendly, so I booked my service and mot there...highly rate Treadfirst. Brilliant.

Their customer service is excellent, always so friendly, trustworthy and willing to help. I’ve had a few scenarios where I’ve needed a same day tyre change or a last minute MOT and they always squeeze you in if they can. They won’t overcharge or oversell either. Will always go to them first.

I had experienced a coolant leak, and being in the area for work I had no idea who to speak to about it, as my normal mechanic was now over 200 miles away! Dropped in and they managed to make time for me for a quick check over and gave helpful advice that set me at ease.
Highly commendable customer service.

I Brought my vehicle in for an MOT last week and had a great experience I’m new to the area and had a chat with your tester once the mot was complete.

Joel is great asset who comes across really genuine and someone who takes care and pride in what he does therefore I know that I can trust him with my vehicles to MOT.

See you next year.

Thanks again.

Very professional team. Great service. Reasonable prices. They work on both of our cars. Always helpful. A great local business. I only do reviews when I think a business goes above and beyond (or are seriously below par) so these guys really stand out. Keep up the good work.

Absolutely useless. Had some work done on my car and a couple of days later while driving down the M11 the wheel almost came off because they hadn't bothered doing any of the nuts up properly and I had my family in the car. Should consider legal action

They were so friendly when I called with a suspected puncture, fitted me in the next day. Everyone was courteous, they kept to time and repaired the tyre inexpensively. A really positive experience, they will be my first port of call in the future.

Couldn't have been more disappointed with the service. We had several issues working with this company, and only persisted in the hope it was a one off initially. However, after three mis-diagnostics, an over-charge on parts and then incredibly rude service (we had to actually insist on what we thought the problem was - to 4 members of staff - before they finally listened, raised the car and saw that they - the experts - were completely incorrect). If we had not insisted, who knows what 'problem' they would have fixed/not fixed. There was no offer of an apology, compensation, or a solution even! We had the problem fixed immediately, efficiently and extremely professionally in Haverhill in the end. Such a shame.

Fantastic service here! We were visiting the area for a wedding and had the exhaust come loose. We called on a Saturday and 5 minutes later the car was up on the ramp and they were looking at it for us. As we were pushed for time, they were able to do a temporary job, to fix it, then we were able to take it to our garage when we got home.
