Drury Tires

I took my car to an automotive workshop in Pukekohe and they in turn took it to a Pukekohe tyre shop to a tyre shop to fix an «out of round» tyre on my front wheel. (Name of places withheld)
I was quoted a price to replace the tyre which wasn’t very old. They were happy to impugn the reputation of Drury Tires saying that they weren’t too good at what they did.
I declined that tyre shops offer to replace my tyre and drove with said «out of round» and shaky tyre to Drury Tires and asked them to look at it.
Turns out my workshop hadn’t tightened the bolts on the wheel which was the cause of the vibration. The tyre was fine. I rang my workshop and put them straight. I wasn’t happy at all.
Over the years I’ve been to Drury Tires many times. I replaced the whole set of tyres on my R33 GTS-​t and found that I wasn’t happy with the performance when cornering and braking. I brought my R33 straight back and upgraded to the more expensive performance tyres which they had in stock.
Honestly, these guys rock. Over the years I’ve been to other tyre dealers but I’ve always come back to Drury Tires. A south Auckland institution.
There is a waiting room, resplendent with toys and tea/​coffee making facilities and snack vending machines.
For smokers there is an outdoor covered area.
I’ve found their service and workmanship always to be of a high standard as well as competitive in price. I’ve always paid for moderate to expensive tyres, yet they also have an affordable range of tyres for drivers who don’t throw their car around corners at breakneck speeds.
And that is why I always buy my tyres at Drury Tires. (American spelling of the word Tyre)

Drury Tires is sort of an institution around south Auckland.
The iconic yellow bumper stickers with the American spelling of «tires» are given to everyone who passes through their premises and can be seen on vehicles all over Auckland and possibly the world! Indeed they run a sort of competition where customers can send in a photo of themselves at a famous world landmark next to a Drury Tires sign.
Anyway, they are always extremely helpful — their customer service is second-​to-​none. They do all sorts of tyre work from fitting new tyres to doing alignments and balancing and puncture repairs and inflating etc. Whatever you need, they’ll do it, with a smile and a cheery conversation.
They also have a cosy waiting area with magazines, linteresting photos on the walls and tea /​coffee /​water while you wait.

This is a family fun tire business out in Drury (as the name would have you believe). Drury Tires is world famous in South Auckland. I used to come here all the time, when I had a car, and when my car needed tires. It’s pretty cheap actually, and they even have a number of second hand tires around which are still in pretty good condition, for a fraction of the price. The staff here are helpful and will sort you out with everything you need, tyres, wheel alignments etc. I don’t know much about cars, so it’s always good when you can just turn up and let the professionals sort it out.
