Dougs Scoob Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Has anyone ever used Ace tyres in Falkirk before as I've had a decent quote for new tyres and I've never used them before? Any good or bad experiences - I'd be welcome to hear of. Or perhaps could anyone recommend anywhere else in the surrounding area. Im awaiting quote from Skidz in Falkirk. Thanks in advance. Oh whats folks thoughts on how suitable their Impreza is for a baby on-board? In terms of noise and bumpyness of the ride for getting one to sleep? I've got one on the way!!! - My first!
marko72 Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Never used Ace tyres but if the price is right??? I havent ever found Skidz to have the most customer friendly service. The best price i got for my last tyres was Mcconechys, better price then Camskill, Blackcircles etc!
scouk Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Could be wrong but it's Ace Tyres, ace_tingtong on here? If so there's quite a few good reports on here!
gus the bus Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 I've used Ace Tyres (Robert) on a good few occasions now for various cars. Always had great prices and efficient Service
Spaceman Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 i had bad experience from ace tyres took chunks out sidewall on my landrover tyres when changing over tyres to new wheels, place seemed a carry on ill never go back or tell anyone to go there.
scoobywho Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 My 2 kids love my scooby. Gt autocare is opening soon for tyres you can get a quote from the 0800 number on www.gt-valeting.com
craigdmcd Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I can't really comment on Ace Tyres, but do know that when buying a Newage, I bought WRX instead of a STi as I thought the suspension on a STi was too stiff and uncompromising. I realise that money is tight when a new addition is imminent, but I had a set of KW coilovers on a classic I had, and the initial dampimg on them was fantastic, and would make an STi a far better day to day family car.
Dougs Scoob Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 Thanks for all the replies guys. Appreciated. I'll get a quote from GT Autocare and McConnechys before making a decision. Yeah I was wondering if the car would've been too bumpy. We'll soon find out! It's a Newage STi and I currently need to replace 1 front and rear shock but I'm hoping to find someone getting rid of used ones in a decent condition as funds aren't available at the mo for Coilovers.
ace_tingtong Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Hi there Just thought I would pop a comment on as I just noticed this post. We have a business in Dunoon called Ace Tyres which is a mobile tyre fitting van. I recently found out there was another company in Falkirk with the same name. Don't know anything about that one but if you ever need anything in our area - Gerard covers from Dunoon right round towards Helensburgh via the Rest and be Thankful - give us a bell on 07731 757666 or visit our facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001665183138 Hope you get your tyres sorted Dougs Scoob, and congrats on your first baby Vicci (Miss Tingtong as Gerard hates typing!)

Thanks very much Vicci and Gerard. (Yeah I hate typing too!!!) I actually got the tyres fitted yesterday by Ace Tyres in Falkirk. If I'd known about yourselves sooner I would've phoned. I'll keep you in mind for next time. Thanks anyway. Dougie
arch Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Have you tried Jim Dickson in Cumbernauld been using him for years and always had really good prices and never had an issue with an alloy and he has swapped a LOT of tyres for me on my RA.
