pc-med   10 #1 Posted November 18, 2014 Anyone know if Top Tread Tyres in Sheffield (St Mary's Road) is still run by the old crew that have been running it for years - the name Kevin rings a bell as the gaffer (older fella)and I think P Birch as one of the MOT testers?  I've always been here and have always had great service from them but last year I went elsewhere as it seemed to have changed hands (different people all milling about and a change in decor / layout etc)?  Anyone know as I would like to return there this year if they're still there. Otherwise, I need to find a decent garage MOT tester pronto! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

pc-med   10 #4 Posted November 18, 2014 Thanks, I meant the gaffer of the branch (or proprietor) as he's referred to here:  http://www.manta.com/ic/mvmchdm/gb/top-tread-tyres-auto-centre?ftoggle-frontend-prod-on=abTests.revenue.test_10312014_control&utm_expid=82789632-25.OzEpm4oGQWOCALlDNoBDpg.1  I went to the Rotherham branch last year and it was a totally different experience. Didn't come away feeling as trusting somehow.  So, Kev and crew still there in Sheffiled do we know or has there been changes?

Tomm06 Â Â 12 #9 Posted November 18, 2014 I noticed this last year when I took my car in for it's MOT, I've always used them for my MOT's. The new people there seem alright, tbh I have more issues with those prats next door washing cars, if I happen to park my cars shadow slightly over their invisible division line on the floor, they stand there gesturing and shouting.

pc-med   10 #10 Posted November 20, 2014 Thanks, may be worth another shot then. I'll make sue I park on that invisible line if I do just for giggles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
