What happens when an independent garage thinks big?

You get Kerr's Tyres & Auto, a business that’s grown from a small tyre shop into a network of 27 sites across Northern Ireland.

We headed over to meet the team and see how they’ve built such an impressive operation, and it’s clear they’re doing things differently.

💡 From tyres to full mechanical servicing
⚡ Investing heavily in EV training and equipment
🏁 Building smart, consistent “superstore” workshops

And keeping that warm Northern Irish hospitality at the heart of it all.

Founder Norman Kerr shared some brilliant advice for any garage owner thinking about expansion:

“Look at what you’ve got first. Get the most out of one site before you think about opening another.”
