This is a Bridgestone Select branded store.
Many years back (2009) when one of my Corsa's tyre had to be discarded, I was on the lookout for a Bridgestone store. Eventually, the closest I found was T-Mart near the 32nd Milestone hotel off NH8.
Given that we had a good (rather, not bad) experience with them, I started taking all our cars to them for wheel alignment and balancing.
A few years back (in 2012/13), they started another branch on Sohna road. Since this was much closer to home, started visiting this store and each experience has been decent.
Products sold:
- Tyres: a multi-brand store with Bridgestone, Apollo, Yokos, Michelin, JK and others most likely
- Segments served: I saw tyres of all sizes and treads; so they might cater cars from the puny 800 to the mighty, off-roading SUVs
- Alloys: although not a very exhaustive collection
Services offered:
- Wheel alignment
- Wheel balancing
- Nitrogen filling
What I like:
- The owner/manager is generally not very chatty but have never found him rude or arrogant
- The staff doesn't mind you supervising the work and will generally answer any queries you may have
- There are two pneumatic ramps, two machines for wheel balancing and one bay for wheel alignment
- They have an air-conditioned lounge with tv, restroom and some magazines although I've never used the lounge since I'm looking over the work
What I don't like:
- They charge 2% surcharge on card payments
- Although can't blame them for this, but the traffic in that area is terrible; I generally visit this place in the middle of the afternoon to avoid getting stuck
Pricing:
I recently got Bridgestone B250 for my City for 5000 a piece; a couple of online stores retailed it for ~4700. But in the 5000, I also got fitting, wheel balancing and wheel alignment so I'm not complaining
This has been the only store I've visited in NCR so I don't have a reference point but I've generally spend ~ Rs. 600 for wheel alignment and balancing
Speciality:
"Jack of all trades, master of none" kind of shop; you wouldn't be blown away by their collection of alloys but they're pretty good with the job they do
What I've availed at this store:
- Wheel alignment and balancing over the years for the City, Zen and i20
- Bridgestone B250 for the City
