Steven Honda - September 27, 2025

"I had a rental car from Hertz with a slow tire leak and was told that tire damage would be my responsibility. Hertz directed me to Banks Tyres in Cork, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The team at Banks Tyres provided prompt and professional service, quickly diagnosing that the leak was from an old plug repair. I fully expected to pay for the repair and then deal with Hertz afterward. But to my surprise, John Banks, the proprietor, took the initiative to call Hertz directly on my behalf. He arranged it so the repair was covered by Hertz — meaning no charge to me. This kind of proactive and customer-first service is rare these days. Thanks to John and his team, I was back on the road quickly and able to continue my vacation stress-free. If you ever need tire service in Cork, I highly recommend Banks Tyres — they go above and beyond!"

"Went to get a tyre with a screw in it looked at. Super busy, but seen within 15 mins. It turned out the screw had done no damage. They refused to take any payment for their time. Awesome team and explains why they are in business for so many years."
