Tyre Spot

What Tyre Spot does

Tyre Spot is a regional automotive aftermarket service provider operating 11 physical retail centres across the North East of England, employing 148 colleagues and serving individual vehicle owners and fleet operators. Founded circa 1984 as a local tyre fitting business, the company has grown into a multi-service garage chain offering car, van, 4x4, and motorcycle tyres alongside MOT testing, vehicle servicing, exhaust replacement, battery services, wheel alignment, and ADAS calibration. The product portfolio is anchored by tyre sales and fitting (with major brand partnerships including Pirelli, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Continental, Michelin, Dunlop, Falken, Sumitomo, GT Radial, and Toyo, plus Michelin Certified Centre and Pirelli Performance Centre designations), supported by MOTs from £34.95 and servicing from £99.95 on a pay-as-you-go basis.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model combining walk-in appointments, telephone booking, and an online booking system offering same-day fitting across all branches. Distribution is entirely physical retail supplemented by a self-service digital booking layer; no mobile app is offered. Marketing leverages a multi-channel mix including the company website, social media (Facebook, X, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn), Trustpilot reviews, and segmented discount programmes for students, teachers, graduates, healthcare workers, first responders, and military personnel. A price-beat guarantee on like-for-like quotes, including internet prices, is a stated commercial differentiator.

Tyre Spot is a private limited company (TyreSpot Ltd, company number 1093373) registered in England and Wales. As of June 2026, all 11 retail centres were integrated into the Protyre Autocare national garage network, with the distribution centre continuing to be operated by Micheldever Group / Micheldever Tyre Services Ltd, which functions as the parent company. No public listing, venture capital, or private equity ownership is disclosed in the source data. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
