Have you noticed a change in your vehicle’s steering control or braking? If so, it might be time for new tyres to be fitted.
Your tyres form the bond between your vehicle and the road and can be the difference between arriving safely at your destination and an avoidable accident.
D&D Autos offer a comprehensive tyre replacement service, keeping our clients safely on the road for over 35 years. We offer a quick and premium service our clients have come to rely on. Please speak to one of our team today to arrange your tyre check.
The UK’s legal requirement for tyre tread is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of your tyre.
Gauge devices are used to measure the exact tread remaining on your tyre. But if you don’t have access to one of these and are concerned about your tyre tread, you can check your tread with a 20p.
Simply place a 20p into the lowest tread depth of your tyre. If you can no longer see the outer rim, your tyre should be above the minimum. If you can see the edge, your tread is below 3mm and should be checked as soon as possible.
Being able to see the 20p rim would mean you are driving on illegal tyres. And please remember that unless you are prepared to test all the treads on all your tyres, the test would not be reliable, and your tyres could still run the risk of an accident and fines.
Call D&D Autos today and arrange your professional tyre assessment.
If you are having trouble locating your locking wheel nut key, don’t panic. Simply contact our team at D&D Autos and let us help.
We recommend that clients never try to create a DIY locking wheel nut key. It usually causes more damage and an unnecessary repair bill. Give us a call today and let our team help.
The correct tyre pressures will be shown on the inside of the driver’s door or the inside of your fuel cap.
The next step is to check your current tyre pressure. Firstly, remove the dust cap from the tyre valve and place the pressure gauge onto the value. Then gently pressing down with the gauge on the valve stem will give you a reading.
If you need to reinflate your tyres, set the machine to the stated recommended pressure and keep the gauge on the value, the machine will do the rest.
If you are unsure or require help with this, give us a call, and we’ll be happy to help.
Our Ashford garage is fully equipped with specialist equipment, so we will do our best to get it back to normal if the wheel is fixable.
Outstanding customer service. We had a breakdown as we were heading to France, a very fraught experience. D&D came to our rescue, kept us informed at all stages of the repair and went above and beyond to make the whole process as smooth as it could be. Many thanks to Rick for coordinating, can't recommend highly enough.
As always great service and value for money. Honest and genuine advice. Highly recommended
Thank you!! Mathew, really appreciate it. My ring was stuck under the car seat, and he quickly and carefully retrieved it. He was thorough, professional, and a total lifesaver.
Excellent service from start to finish.
Massive thank you to D&D autos and the manager who went on few test drives to determine the problem with my car. The staff at reception are really friendly, always smiling and very helpful. I originally took my car to f1 auto centre in great chart who I won’t be using again as I returned my car to them twice with the same problem which was never fixed.
Great customer service and happy to help, everything you want when you’re dropping off your car
Excellent Service, friendly and professional staff. Highly recommended.
Excellent service
I can’t recommend these guys enough! They have helped me with two of my vehicles so far (including a very frustrating issue with my AK 427!) and I will definitely use them in the future. They are so helpful and fair. Many thanks again!
My car was suddenly rumbling and misfiring having been fine the day before.and my Amber engine management light was illuminated. Mercedes wanted £174 just to look at it and couldn't do that for about 5 days! D&D said they were extremely busy but could put my car onto their diagnostic machine for £42 in the hope the issue may be resolved but the issue would be identified at the very least.... Read More
Thank you D & D Autos Big job at short notice.very friendly and helpful. Also working with others like Thomas Group.well done.
If only all companies were like this, from booking my car's service and m.o.t to collecting it ,I was fully informed of what was happening in a very polite and professional manner plus I ended with a very competitive bill,I highly recommend this business
The most excellent garage ever. Superb customer service with everything clearly explained in layman’s terms. Very reasonable prices. I’ve been using D and D for years and have not found anyone better. Completely recommended.
Having moved to Ashford and not knowing a reliable and trustworthy garage, took personal recommendation of a friend to use D&D.
Not disappointed.
Excellent customer service, communication, and impressive facilities.
Very friendly and upfront regarding work needed.
Highly recommend D&D
Very good reliable service from a company that looks after and values its customers.
Have used D&D Autos for 3 years now, even though i live 15 miles away, they are well worth the drive to and from.
Excellent from start to finish for MOT, Servicing and repairs. Great communication throughout by their team. Cannot recommend them enough….
Took my car here for an MOT and had to bring my 6th month old baby with me, Steve and Sophie made the potentially stressful experience so smooth! They were very attentive & I felt really well looked after.
Thank you both so much!
A local professional company that I thoroughly recommend, great advice that saved me money without compromising my safety, fast and efficient, they kept me informed throughout, I won't go anywhere else .So don't hesitate , just book your car in to D&D !
Very efficient and friendly.
I’ve been using D&D for many years now and I cannot fault their service and value for money.
The staff are all very well trained and to a level that main agents should reflect upon! I always feel they want my business and not just expect it , the reason they have grown over the years is because of what I have said above.
To all at D&D keep it going you deserve all the good things... Read More
Good value, efficient and friendly service
D&D Autos are super friendly, professional & go above & beyond to help customers.
Highly recommend
Have used D&D for over 40 years! Always pleased with their service and attention to detail. Just had MOT (for car😁), and booked in for service soon. Highly recommended.
Professional and friendly, very helpful and always do a great job. Can't recommend highly enough, I never go anywhere else as I trust them with both vehicles.
This was a prompt professional five-star service!
Good support following recovery and prompt service
Friendly good service. They can do almost anything..
I have used D&D for over a decade and I found their work and their customer service simply excellent. I have no hesitation recommending them!
I have been using D&D for years and have always found them to be honest and friendly. Was very pleased, now that I have an EV to see that they are an HEVRA garage. Thoroughly recommend them.
D&D Autos has become my go-to for vehicle service—this is my third visit, and they continue to impress. The team is friendly, professional, and dedicated to keeping you updated throughout the process. The service here is a class act: they combine great quality with unbeatable value. Highly recommend D&D Autos for anyone looking for reliability, transparency, and excellent customer care.
Always excellent service from D&D. Have been using D&D for a few years and could not be happier with friendly professional service I get. All the staff are happy to help.
Always a fair price.
Great service, helpful friendly staff
D&D, are an extremely customer focused and professional company. From the minute you book your car in you realise your dealing with people who care.
Many thanks guy's!
I have used D&D on and off over a number of years, and they never fail to impress.
You will always get a quality service and advise. If you care about your car, it's worth waiting a little longer if they are booked up.
Just had 4 new Michalin pilot 5 tyres and 4 wheel alignment on a Mazda Mk4 MX5 and it has transformed the handling.
Plus as always the car was as clean as it... Read More
Great service given by staff, would recommend based on our experience.
Great service as always. Speaking as an ex mechanic for many years I have found that I can trust D&D Autos to be open and honest with me and that their technicians are properly trained which is why they are the only garage that I will use.
Good service polite kept updated about progress on work and cost and a door to door service if required
Fantastic customer service
Top bunch of lads here, go above and beyond for you
I dropped two cars off for air conditioning work. Both done very efficiently and at a reasonable price. The staff were very friendly and keen to please. I highly recommend them.
Great work for annual service & MOT. Very thorough. They keep you informed of what is needed. My 13 year old car feels like a youngster.
Very friendly and compassionate staff!
My experience at D&D autos was very positive and are very helpful with all my needs
D& D Autos were excellent! Very honest,professional, empathetic & skilled. I will definitely be using them for all future work on my car from now on!
Great service, exceptionally professional, kept me informed and did what they said they were going to do.
First class service and competitively priced. Staff were informative, polite and friendly. Would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.
This was my first time using D&D and won't be the last, very impressive and professional. I highly recommend D&D
I have used DandD Autos for many years.
Always the work is done to the highest standards, very competitive pricing and friendly customer service.
Collected by courtesy car, what more could you ask for.
Fair pricing and great service. I take all of our card to D&D.
Polite, friendly reception staff. I had a tyre in for checking and they were able to examine it and repair the puncture.
I have used D&D Auto a few times now for car issues and maintenance. Highly recommend
I started to use D&D when I bought my used car as recommended by the previous owner. I couldn't be pleased anymore. As I work in Ashford, it is very convenient to drop the car by 8, get a lift by their shuttle bus wherever I picked up when my car us ready. Their service is excellent. Prices are reasonable. And the voucher they post with the MOT reminder is an extra positive.
I do the... Read More
Great service, very polite and good price.
Fantastic service in every aspect. 🙌🙌
Would highly recommend D&D very helpful and friendly staff.
Brilliant service. Staff are great and always helpful.First class 👍🏻
Great Service as always, friendly and informative staff and a warm waiting area for a coffee whilst waiting. Would highly recommend.
D&D Autos were very accommodating with an urgent MOT issue. I had previously been to Halfords for an MOT which failed and they were unhelpful in trying to resolve the issue. D&D was recommended by a friend and they kindly agreed to investigate on an urgent basis. They reset the lambda sensor, MOTd the vehicle - job done. The staff were courteous and kept me informed of progress. Would... Read More
Great staff. Always reliable and do their best to help you out when you forgot your MOT was due
Just to reinforce all the positives on here. I find them always professional, personable, interested and as a bonus, always able to fix at a fair cost any issue my old car throws up. Please do not use them as some day, we will struggle to get booked in. Thanks as always.
D and D autos are always polite, helpful and professional. Both myself and my wife have been using D and D for about 10 years and have never had any negative issues.
Friendly and very professional. Would highly recommend
Great garage, with knowledgeable staff.
So popular that it can take four weeks to get a repair slot, but worth the wait (if the fault is not serious)
Will definately use again.
Staff friendly and very helpful. Don't rip u off. Go above and beyond. Have bought several vehicles here and trust them 100%. 5 star service. Would highly recommend.
Originally had service and MOT at the end of April this year. Today I noticed there was a problem with my air filter box and rang to raise my concern. Invited over same day for someone to have a look at the problem. Full inspection carried out, problem identified, options discussed and work carried out. Couple of hours later picked my car up with nothing to pay! Incredible service and very... Read More
Honest and trustworthy. Take time to explain everything and never make me feel inferior. All work has always been carried out to high standard and at good value.
Excellent service, as ever. They have looked after my cars for years. Have never let me down. Always polite,friendly, and efficient. Never patronising. Very good in a crisis!
Car had poor performance. D&D was able to very quickly locate fault and repair. They were very supportive and kept us informed of progress and cost along the way. Excellent service from D&D.
Highly recommend to others.
All ways great service from start to finish and friendly staff happy and super helpful. Steve on reception is a real star
Very impressed. New engine after timing chain failed, had other bits done at same time. It took quite a long time but was a huge job and I was kept up to date with progress calls. No issues at all after collection, absolutely perfect. Not cheap but you get what you pay for and I wanted a top job. Would recommend.
From the booking of the MOT to the final bill, the service, not just for my car, but for me as a customer, was excellent. I felt valued as a customer. The facilities for waiting were very comfortable. The polite and amicable nature of the staff, so refreshing. Thanks guys.
Having moved into the area recently I was recommended to D & D by a neighbour. I have used them twice now and am hugely impressed by their excellent customer service and helpful staff. Their free local drop off/pick up service is also a great touch especially for one-car families like ours and I have no hesitation in recommending them.
