Greg Ryan - May 20, 2026

"Been a customer for years and meaning to leave this review for a while...Honestly, great customer service. First experience was Banks fixing a balancing problem with new tyres they did not fit. No fuss, just did it. I once broke down on the Lower Glanmire Road with a tyre sidewall gone, no spare, on way to family funeral. Mobile unit there in about 20 mins and new tyre on in minutes. More recently they did the tracking on my car but could not complete due to issue with the car. I was only charged for a report. And the reason I'm leaving this review is, today they will be fixing a flat for free, while new tyres on order. Hard to beat all that, along with sound advice, good value and excellent work."

"They saved me today. I was there to change four tyres and they said no need just to make small fix to one rim and thats all. They saved me almost 1000€. Thank you lads you are super."

"Would highly recommend, bought 4 new Michelin PS4s, was very reasonable. A few days later I had a slow puncture, brought it back and they fixed it free of charge. Great selection of tyres too"

"Had a very good experience at Banks, ordered Michelin Pilot sport 5s and they worked out over €70 cheaper than the previous place I had bought tyres. Very pleasant staff and careful fitters that ensured alloys were unmarked while fitting the new tyres. Will certainly be back again."
