Based in Kelso in the Scottish Borders, C & R Tyres has just celebrated 27 years of trading by moving into purpose-built modern premises fit for the 21st century. This is a far cry from the small workshop that we first leased in 1996.
The company is still managed by its founding owner directors, Chris Grindell and Rob Hastie, and is now recognised as one of the major tyre retailers in the south of Scotland and north Northumberland. We are pleased to be a leading supplier of Bridgestone and Firestone products in the area, as well as supplying all other major brands to our wide range of customers.
Apart from car and van tyres, we also offer commercial tyre services to the haulage and agricultural sectors. Backed up by a 24hr callout and national breakdown service we can ensure our customers are always well looked after.
We pride ourselves on providing an efficient, friendly service at all times whilst still maintaining the highest standards.

"Called in to C & R Tyres this morning, Tuesday 16 September, at just after 9.30, to get my tyres checked. I got immediate service and was told the front tyres were near the limit so I asked when they could be changed. They did the job straight away and they were quick and efficient.
Well done to all the Team for doing a fast and fantastic job! The whole Team are friendly, sociable, very helpful and so efficient. Thank you for an outstanding service. I wish all businesses were this good.
All the best,
Bill Heaney"

"This tyre garage is very professional and helped us out greatly. We were on holiday in Kelso area and heard a loud noise from tyres. We knew we needed new tyres anyway, and these guys checked out the noise issue and found and resolved a safety fault on our wheel hub nut. This has prevented an accident and damage to our car. They ordered our tyres 4.45pm and next day had them fitted by 2pm. Very clean and modern garage, great mechanics, and the office team were so helpful. Very reasonably priced tyres as well! First class service and would highly recommend."
