Essential Services
The Prime Minister announced the latest measures that the government is taking in response to the Coronavirus pandemic and Mr Tyre fully supports the government’s approach to the crisis.
Currently, Mr Tyre branches remain open and operational but as the situation with COVID-19 develops, Mr Tyre will continue to take the spread of Coronavirus very seriously and will monitor and review the situation in line with the latest government guidelines.
In these unprecedented times, it is absolutely vital that all key workers, in particular emergency workers, transport workers, council workers, remaining school personnel and the wider community have access to our services such as MOT testing, vehicle repairs, tyres, tyre repairs and general maintenance products.
It is imperative that these customers can keep their vehicles roadworthy and safe and it is essential that our staff play their vital part in keeping the road transport network moving.
Our priority is always the health and wellbeing of our staff and customers, and we consider this when making any decisions. We are ensuring that Health and Safety guidelines are being followed at all our branches and we request that customers always assist our staff in achieving safe distancing protocols.
Contact, Cleaning, Hygiene
- We would appreciate it if customers would observe the social distancing recommendation of a 2 metre distance between themselves, other customers and staff members.
- Payment by card is recommended, although cash is still being accepted.
- We are cleaning down counters, door handles, card machines and seating areas regularly throughout the day.

Reception waiting rooms have been modified where possible to allow the 2 metre safe distancing protocols whilst you wait for work to be completed.
