BestBuyTyres is promoting itself as the answer to this question.

BestBuyTyres brings together 12 leading multi-outlet independent tyre specialists with more than 250 branches in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

“Fitting tyres these days is a skilled job, requiring the right equipment and trained staff. Unfortunately, all too often untrained staff and/or inadequate equipment are involved and expensive tyres and alloy wheels can be damaged during fitting. BestBuyTyres customers can enjoy peace of mind knowing that our specialist workshops will do a skilled, professional job in supplying and fitting the tyres purchased from us,” according to the company’s Web site.
