Time to change tyres: "You get scared when you see how careless commercial transport is”

Tyre workshops have two hectic weeks ahead of them. After April 15th, studded tires will be banned. Since October, Anders Jonsson has opened a newly built workshop in Ängamöllan's industrial area. He changes both tyres and services cars.
Kristianstad\nNow that it’s the season to change tyres, he has extra help for six weeks. He will only change tyres for people who have booked an appointment. Each change takes 20 minutes – it’s plenty of time for two men to change four tyres. • Publicerad 3 april 2019 • Uppdaterad 4 april 2019

Anders Jonsson started working with tyres in 1992. In 2009 he wanted to try something else. He bought Åstedt's car painting workshop. Since 2018 he is fully back in the tyre industry.

”Individuals often don’t keep an eye on this either. They drive with bad tyres”

– I missed the customer contact that you get with the tyre service, he says.

To help him out he has Ingvar Nilsson. Both Ingvar Nilsson and Anders Jonsson check the condition of the tyres’ before they sit in a taxi.

– You get scared when you see how careless commercial transport is. They don’t care about changing tyres that are worn out. I also see this when I’m working with big tyres for trucks and buses. Individuals often don’t keep an eye on this either. They drive with bad tyres, he says.

– It also applies to those who have environmentally friendly cars. And think – you and I meet all of these people in traffic, says Anders Jonsson.
