FAQs

1. What is a car service?

A car service is essentially a regular check-up for your car to ensure that it is working properly and is safe to drive. The service is carried out by a trained technician who will be able to identify any areas of concern and advise on the best course of action. Unlike an MOT, a car service is not a test, so you cannot fail it. However, it is worth having your car serviced before arranging an MOT, as this will give you the chance to address any issues in advance.

2. How often should you service your car?

The exact recommendation for how often your car should be serviced will depend on its make and model. You can find out the recommended service frequency by checking your vehicle manual or contacting your local dealership. However, the general rule of thumb is that you should arrange for your car to be serviced once a year or every 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.

3. How long do car tyres last?

The lifespan of a tyre will depend on a range of factors. Weather conditions, the temperature, road conditions and even your driving style can all affect how quickly your tyres will wear out. At a rough estimate, a tyre has a ‘shelf life’ of up to 10 years, although this is likely to vary depending on the brand and the quality of materials used to construct the tyre. Chances are that your tyres will wear out from road use long before they expire, unless you don’t often drive it.

When the time comes to arrange a tyre replacement, simply visit one of our tyre shops near you and we’ll help you find the best match for your vehicle.

4. What tyres does my car need?

The tyres your car needs will depend on its make and model. Here at Protyre, we’ve made it easy to buy the best tyres for your vehicle online with our advanced search feature. Simply enter your vehicle registration number and your postcode, or search by tyre size to quickly find the best fit for your car.

5. What is wheel alignment?

It’s important to make sure that the wheels of your vehicle are correctly aligned, as misaligned tyres can affect your ability to control the vehicle, which could put you and your passengers in danger.

We offer two main types of wheel alignment at our Leeds Headingley Lane garage:

• Front-wheel alignments look at the front wheels and focus on the caster – the forward or backward angle when the steering system rotates the wheel – and the toe, which refers to the angles at which the tyres are pointed.

• Four-wheel alignments examine the front and rear wheels, along with the camber – the vertical alignment of the wheels when viewed from the front and which way they fold.

6. How long does a wheel alignment take?

The wheel alignment service offered at our Leeds Headingley Lane garage typically takes one hour, although in some cases it may take slightly less time or slightly more. The amount of time that the service takes will usually depend on how severe the misalignment is and how many of the wheels need realigning.

7. How much is a vehicle diagnostic test?

At Protyre, all our vehicle diagnostic tests are available for £50 including VAT. The same price applies no matter whether you need us to test a car, van, bike or even a 4x4.

It’s quick and easy to book in your car for a diagnostic test at Leeds Headingley Lane at the touch of a button. Simply add our Diagnostic Plug-in & Report to your basket.
