Hometyre

I started Hometyre Sheffield just over 6 and a half years ago now and really haven't looked back since! The Franchise is a fantastic product. It looks great, works seamlessly and it's constantly evolving too. The feedback customers leave time after time is always positive and is reflected by the number of referrals received too. If you’re an outgoing person who enjoys customer service, you’ll be a great match! Customers buy into the whole service element of our offering and I've built up a wealth of repeating and reliable customers who now know me and trust me as a key supplier. I’ve also learned a lot through the support of the franchise network as a whole. From the outset and throughout my experience with Hometyre, I've been able to call upon a wealth of experience and knowledge from everyone in the network. It’s reassuring to know there’s always somebody at the end of the phone or on the technical chat group to help out when needed - and we very much all pull together to help each other out in this respect. It's a real pleasure to also have been asked to provide training for new franchise owners, and to help these guys grow their own businesses!

This is the third time in 15 months I've used Hometyre. Sergio arrives on the time stated and is always so polite - nothing is too much trouble. He has come to my work place and I can leave everything with himand go back to work. Sergio will call when he is finished. Having a mobile fitter is so much easier as you don't have to sit in waiting rooms or lose time off work. i would recommend you to anyone. Thank you Sergio for your kindness and service which is second to none!!

I found the service flawless and so easy. My tyres were changed at my house within 24 hours of my request. Nothing was too much trouble for Keith who was very thorough, helpful and friendly. He advised me on the tyres that I should have and quite frankly having the tyres changed outside my house rather than having to wait around in a tyre depot was fantastic. What a great service.Thanks once again!

Client Review - Ms Smith,

I joined the team in September 2009 after working in the printing trade for 38 years, so running my own business was always going to be a challenge! I decided very early that a franchise suited my needs as I had only worked for the one organisation in printing and had limited knowledge on how to start, and more importantly grow a successful business. From day one Andy and the team were clear, honest and supportive, particularly in the early days when understandably there were more day-to-day issues to deal with. The sales team are the backbone of the business and my customers regularly commented on their knowledge and friendly attitude. After nine years with the brand and reaching the grand old age of 65, I decided to give the old bones a rest and sell up. I'd proved to myself that I could build a business that grew into a saleable entity and one which I genuinely enjoyed being a part of. I stay in touch and always pass on enquiries to the new owners whenever asked. It's great to see the latest Hometyre van around the area still and to know that my efforts can still be seen!".

The level of service from initial phone call to the care and attention Chris took in his work can only be described as first class. As a car enthusiast it is very rare to find somebody who genuinely cares about how they treat your pride and joy. Without doubt the best experience I've ever had whilst dealing with any garage type repairs. I would highly recommend you to anyone!!!!

Client Review - Mr Phillips,

Hometyre

I joined Hometyre over 11 years ago now and at a time when mainstream social media was virtually non - existent! Getting our name out there involved advertising in local papers, magazines, using a radio advert and leaflet dropping! I started my business at the start of the global recession too - so it certainly wasn't easy and It took a little longer to build up a regular customer base than we'd all planned and hoped for! Nowadays though with a dominant ecommerce website and continuous exposure on all of the social media platforms, not to mention an ever growing consumer demand for home based services, our new franchisees are up and running almost immediately. I used to think a good days work was four jobs, now I regularly undertake six to seven in a day. I'm in my 60's now and may not be the best with all things online, but just updating my sites on a regular basis keeps me at the top of Google rankings, bringing in more new customers all the time. New franchisees are taught tyre fitting the 'Hometyre' way, with an emphasis on exceptional service and this definitely keeps customers coming back time and again. Once initial training has taken place at base, the new franchisees then spend a week or two with various existing franchisees, getting hands on experience with customers. They also learn about the various other services we provide - such as lock nut removals, TPMS, Tyron bands, wheel alignment, etc. These things are also taught in theory but the hands-on experience is far better. As one of the nominated trainer/mentors, I've have had numerous trainees spend a week with me, and they have all gone on to run their areas successfully. Despite an unfortunately challenging start due to unforeseen circumstances, my business has gone from strength to strength over the years and I thoroughly enjoy the variety of engagements and challenges each day brings. The communications and assistance from HQ remains consistently strong.

Got to thank Richard and Hometyre for rescuing us out in the back of beyond in the beautiful Keswick countryside, after a puncture. He managed to even get my locking nut off, which looked like a real problem. Not having a tyre to fit my car at that point, he came over to Penrith to fit my replacement the very next morning, Saturday too! Lovely fella and a good deal - thanks Richard

I had Daryl visit me yesterday to fit 4 new tyres and balancing. I would just like to say how pleased I was. Daryl explained everything he was doing and gave me a few tips. Professional A** service on my door step. Thank you very much!
