⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
KATS quoted and fitted me 4 tyres, with no add-ons as others do (ie gov disposal fee) at a price point way better than anyone else in ChCh area. I got the Sailun Commercio Pro tyres for my RV. Great reviews on the web. Why pay for the hyped up named brands? Great service, great people. Superb deal. Thanks Shane

5 star service from the team at KATS!!! They gave me a very good price on 4 all terrain tyres for my awkwardly sized VW Touareg. Mike was wonderful to deal with over the phone offering availability to do the job the next day, the team was very accommodating in store when my tyres were fitted and super quick turn around for all four to be fitted. I will definitely be returning and recommending KATS

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fantastic service, friendly staff and great prices. Got told by other shops that I had to wait 5+ weeks for the 215/40/R18 Michelins I wanted while Katz got them in less than a week while being 50 bucks cheaper per tyre. Car also feels great after an alignment. 10/10

Absolutely 100% recommend! Hands down the best service, everyone was so friendly, polite and helpful. I got to sit and wait in a lovely and nice customer lounge with tea and coffee if I wanted. The job was done quickly and professionally and was the price I was given on the phone. I drove from Christchurch to go here based off a recommendation and it will be my local now!!
