'We can’t wait to welcome you back!': Northern Ireland tyre business is back on the road under original ownership after two-year closure

A Northern Ireland tyre and repair garage is back on the road again, two years after closing following more than two decades in operation.

Maghera Tyre Centre, located on Station Road, is returning under its original owner and team, marking a new chapter for the long-established local business.

The reopening was announced on social media, where original owner Richard confirmed that the business will resume trading this week with a focus on delivering the same standards of service and value built up over its 20-year history.

Revealing the news on social media, Richard said: “Yes the rumours are indeed true!!! WE’RE BACK! “Maghera Tyre Centre is returning — back under the original owner and team you know and trust! For over 20 years, we’ve been proud to deliver: Great prices first-class service honest, expert advice. And that’s exactly what you can expect again. Same standards. Same commitment. Same trusted name.” The company had previously ceased trading, but the opportunity to relaunch the business arose earlier this year. Richard said the decision to return was an easy one, citing strong support from customers in recent months. “So just after Christmas when I was given the chance to take the business back again,” he wrote.

"I didn’t have to think twice! I’ve had dozens of conversations with customers in the last number of months and it’s a common theme that my presence has been missed which means a lot! Thanks to everyone for your support over the last 20 years and now I hope you’ll all continue to support us. We can’t wait to welcome you back!”

Maghera Tyre Centre is expected to reopen tomorrow (Wednesday) at 9am, following a short period of preparation at the premises.

To mark the reopening, the business plans to roll out a series of promotions and customer offers in the coming weeks.
