Which tyres fit my car?

The correct tyre size depends on your vehicle’s make, model and wheel specification. You can usually find this information inside the driver’s door, in the handbook or on the tyre sidewall itself. Alternatively, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Are car Service Plans worth it?

Yes. Service Plans or Service Contracts divide total maintenance costs into manageable monthly payments and help you stay on top of routine servicing. Here at Slip End Garage, our Service Contracts are designed to protect against rising servicing costs, with plans starting from just £12 per month. All work is carried out by manufacturer‑trained technicians using high‑quality approved parts, giving you consistent, reliable maintenance and long‑term peace of mind.
