Udon Thani Thailand Forum - Udon Thani, Thailand

With the vast amount of shops selling car tires and price variation my issue is which business do I use.
Can anyone reccomend, from personal experience, a good shop to use ?

Thanks
Hunter

Hunter58, I highly recommend B-Quik which is just behind the gas station to the immediate north of Home-Pro on the Ring Road. Just look for the big yellow building...you can't miss it. I have bought tires, rotations, alignments, oil changes and filters, and they have always done an excellent job. I also do comparison shopping all over town, and I believe I get the best value for my baht at this store. The CEO of the chain of stores is a foreigner and he demands excellent customer service, clean facilities and honest employees. I have always been impressed with the entire operation. The place is so clean you could eat off the floors. They have a very comfortable customer waiting area with free Wi-Fi and refreshments, and you can see clearly into the service bay to keep an eye on the work being done.

If I were you, I'd check around at different places and get quotes. What happened for me or someone else yesterday, may not happen for you today. That's been my experience over 10 years.

I saved over 5,000 baht on my last tire-shopping adventure, and it didn't cost me more than 300 baht to shop.

Good luck!

Hi Hunter,
I'm Prem from BAAN JIG CAR AND TIRES SERVICES

The first thing is the size of your tire that you need to know.
• Look at the side of your car or truck it should be something like 185/60 15 the first number is the width of the tire .
the second number is the hieght of the side in percentage.
the last number is the diameter of the tire.

Second thing you need to know is how you use the car or truck.
The road or terrain that you normally use every brand of tire had variety of tire to choose for specific use. And the last thing is don't look for cheap tires there are alot of cheap tires that are not suitable for the hot climate especialy in Thailand. If you have more specific questions feel free to call 0956534888

I recently need to replace 2 front tyres , due to a massive pot hole on the road, causing a blow out , ( dusk and not seen )

Tyres need to be shipped up to Udon ( my fault as i didnt research this when buying the car )

2 new tyres fitted, wheel alignment done, and drove out a happy customer, ( well for 500 metres ) bad pulling to the Left, U turn and back into the dealer, long and the short, the wheel alignment unit they use hasnt had their software updated for 5 years , so specs used by the staff , were just guessed.

MAKE SURE THE SPECS OF YOUR VEHICLE ARE ON THE WHEEL ALLIGNMENT UNIT

Or download the specs first and take them with you.

Well would usually agree with check around for prices, but last time I did that got burned with I don't know what! GoodYear shop just pass Makro. Had a 4 for 3 sale. Tires went to hell, 1st one maybe after 3 months, 2nd one maybe another 3 months. Both had same problem, which I have never seen before, and can't explain. But if you rolled it, it would just about make a UTURN maybe 90 or 180 degrees. Told, Lucky didn't blow out. They were kinda caved in.

Didn't feel safe replaced all four, the 2nd time. Posted this before couple of years ago, I guess, might have more info.

Guys,
Many thanks for all the info.
I will have a look around and hopefully find a quality result.
Cheers
Hunter

Doesn't matter who you buy from. You need to know which tyre you want for your vehicle.
Do tyre brand comparisons on the net. Then choose the brand and type and go price them.

I can verify this as my friend also bought at Goodyear shop just past Makro , same result

Ahh the Goodyear shop, I got our wheels balanced there a while ago, they removed the old weights with a screwdriver and then removed the glue with course sandpaper, made a total mess of the alloy rims that cost 8,500 per rim, the arrogant farang hating owner was then abusive to my wife, will never never ever set foot in the Goodyear shops in Udon or Nong Khai as it's the same owner, he is on my blacklist!!!
I got great service from the tyre shop near Global on the corner, I was after Yokohama tyres, not after the cheapest, I got a good price and good service.

I also recommend B-Quik, would not use anywhere else. The main points (apart from above) are their turnover so fresh tyres and not some old rubber left on the shelf of ages PLUS and possibly more important their guarantee to fix in any of their depots throughout Thailand

Soon to look and buy a new set of tyres for my wifes Honda Jazz.If anyone knows were i can find Michelin Pilot Sport 4..please either awser here or PM me.

//TIA..//DD

Time to start looking for new tyres / tires.

Has anyone bought from Lazada and then had them for locally? Just a thought.

Anyway I need a full set of 275/55/20 so better start saving as its gonna be expensive!

Yang Boonkit .. place near the AEK Hospital

I bought from Baan Jig Garage at their former location, great price, great service, ask him for a price. The owner has excellent English.

I also bought my tires from Baa Jig and agree good price and good service.

However, he is now closed. I am hoping he reopens somewhere

I changed tyres about a month ago at B-Quick after reading some positive feedback on an old thread, cannot praise the service enough in my personal dealing,would definitely recommend .
