Great job
Your vehicle’s tyres create a safe bond between your car and the road’s surface, so you must keep them in top condition.
Tyres are one area of your vehicle that you can’t afford to neglect. Poor tread depth increases your stopping distance and increases your risk of an accident. Plus, it could land you in trouble with the police, resulting in hefty fines.
At South Coast garage, we aim to keep you safe, helping you avoid accidents and fines. Our expert technicians provide excellent quality while giving you outstanding value. Our specialists have the experience, skills, and technical know-how to assess your tyres for safety. And will replace them when needed.
With South Coast Garage, your safety is our top priority.
Call today and book your tyres Eastbourne check-up.
What are the minimum tread levels? And how do I measure this?
The UK’s minimum legal requirement for tyre tread is 1.6mm. While you can use a gauge to measure this, the easiest method is to use a 20p coin.
Put the 20p coin into the tyre area with the least tread. If the coin’s outer rim is visible, check your tyres immediately.
Driving with less than this is extremely dangerous and illegal. Don’t risk accidents or fines.
Book your tyres Eastbourne assessment today.
You’re more than welcome to wait while our experts fit your tyres.
However, we kindly request that you book with us first. Call today and book your tyres Eastbourne assessment.
I can't find my locking wheel nut key - what should I do?
Firstly, don’t panic and try to create your own locking wheel nut – this can cause more issues than it’s worth.
Call South Coast Garage and let our specialists help.
How to check your tyre pressure
Before you start, check your vehicle’s recommended tyre pressure – you can find this inside the driver’s door or your car’s fuel cap.
Remove all the dust caps from your vehicle. Put a pressure gauge on a tyre valve; this gives you the current pressure reading.
Compare your actual reading with the recommended pressure levels. If your tyres need inflating, adjust the pressure on the air machine and start inflating your tyres.
Still, need help? Call our team today; we always love to help.
What is wheel alignment and why do I need it?
Your wheels need to be aligned to ensure your tyres touch the road at the correct angle, are pointing straight, and are centred.
Over time, bumps in the road, potholes, speed bumps, and kerbs can cause your wheels to misalign. This results in uneven tyre wear and reduced handling, which puts your safety at risk.
Book your wheel alignment Eastbourne today.
How do I know if my alignment is wrong?
If your alignment is off, you might notice your vehicle pulling in one direction while driving. Or, you might experience reduced handling experience.
Don’t put yourself and others at risk. Call South Coast Garage today and book your wheel alignment Eastbourne check-up.

Absolutely worth the 35-40 minute drive each way to have these guys work on my 645ci. Replacement of the thermostat was quick, despite the part delivery issue from BMW. I will definitely be using them for all future work, MOT, servicing etc.

Had recently bought a car from a dealer and upon inspection at BMW main dealer serious issues with front suspension were highlighted. Contacted South Coast Garage and they offered a competitive price and managed to the fit car in the same week. New adaptive dampers and top mounts now fitted and the car was even cleaned! Great service, communicative, competitively priced and will be a returning... Read More

Very good communication throughout and found the fault 3 other garages had failed to find.
Easy to understand PDF breakdown and receptionist was fantastic (can't remember her name so sorry! Red hair?)
Not your cheapest by any means but happy with the service. Thank you.

I would highly recommend South Coast garage. I've been going to them for over a year now and will never go anywhere else. They are very honest and have never tried to make me pay for something I didn't need, especially as I'm a female who has no knowledge on cars. Their service is always amazing and even cleaned my car at the end. When I leave my car with them, I know I have left it in the... Read More

Very professional, great staff, always willing to go the extra mile.

My local Garage in Lewes recommended me to go South Coast Garage in Eastbourne as the suspension problem with my Range Rover was a specialist job and they were also believed to be good value for money.
I couldn't be more pleased with the work, they end up doing a few other bits and pieces and were very competitive on price. Again Excellent work and Excellent Service. If you have a Range... Read More

I am so pleased to have found you! I booked online the night before for an MOT slot; when I delivered the car the reception staff were friendly and professional. Within 2 hours I received a call to say all was well and the car was ready to be collected. On arrival I was told there was a minor advisory, but nothing to worry about for now, just to keep an eye on it. I am so grateful to have... Read More
