What impact has being a Landsail dealer had on your business?

Landsail is now a known brand, which makes it easier and faster to serve customers because they know what they want and what they can get in a tyre when it comes to a Landsail. A tyre that is economical and of premium quality.

If you could offer one piece of advice to a fellow garage owner just starting out in the industry, what would it be?

If you have the space in your garage, then keep it well stocked and organised. Plan in advance and be flexible. Go the extra mile and be professional. Build a good relationship with a wholesaler that works best for you in terms of tyres, products, availability and service provided. A good sales manager will help to improve your business in the best way with innovative ideas and experience.
