Arnold Clark, AM Tyre Retailer of the Year 2012 and 2013, has signed up to TyreSafe, to help raise awareness of tyre safety with its customers in Scotland and northern England.

TyreSafe is a not for profit organisation which aims to raise awareness about the dangers associated with defective or illegal tyres.

As TyreSafe’s newest member, Arnold Clark will quickly be championing tyre safety month across its 145 network, including offering free tyre safety checks throughout October, which is also tyre safety month.

Dougie Smart, group tyre manager, Arnold Clark, said: “With thousands of customers passing through our doors every week, Arnold Clark is perfectly placed to promote the tyre safety message first-hand to the car buying public. We can’t wait to get started.”

Through TyreSafe’s safety advice materials, all Arnold Clark customers will have access to experts within each dealership to help with checking tyre pressures and can ask for advice on safety.
