CAR retailer Charles Hurst Group is investing £100,000 into rebranding its tyre division and developing as a “fast fit service” across its four branches.

It follow the success of Charles Hurst Fast Fit when it launched in May at the company’s flagship Sydenham branch in Belfast.

The fast fit division, which has 60 employees, will see the service rev up in branches across the north at Portadown, Omagh, Coleraine and Boucher Road.

The new division offers a one-stop shop for motoring needs including tyres, headlight alignment, servicing and MOT prep.

Charles Hurst has also launched a mobile tyre fitting service across Belfast to provide home or roadside assistance.

After-sales operations director Andrew Gilmore said: “We're delighted to further invest in our tyre division and expand the Fast Fit offer.

“The new service is centred on a high quality, high speed proposition which customers are increasingly demanding.

“We also have Euro Repair as our official parts supplier, so customers can be confident their vehicle is being looked after with quality parts.”

Part of the Lookers Group, Charles Hurst is the north's largest motor retailer, representing 22 brands across seven sites including its 20-acre Belfast headquarters, where it has more than 1,10 employees.
