  "seo_desc": "Tyres in Canterbury fitted at home, at work or at a local garage. Compare brands for your size and see the fitted price before you book.",
  "lead": "Canterbury is a walled cathedral city with a pedestrian heart and park and rides on its edges, and the A2 linking it to London and Dover. Compare tyres for your car, have them fitted at home in Wincheap or St Dunstan's or at work, or choose a local garage, and know your price first.",
  "driving": [
    "The medieval centre inside the walls is mostly closed to traffic, so driving in Canterbury means the ring road, which follows the line of the walls and gets busy around the Wincheap and Rheims Way junctions. Short distances, lots of roundabouts and queues add up to front tyre wear.",
    "The A2 runs south of the city towards Dover and the Channel ports, carrying a lot of lorry traffic, and when there are delays at the ports the knock-on queues can spread across east Kent. A fitter who comes to you means not getting caught up in them.",
    "Canterbury has no Clean Air Zone charge. Around the city, Kent lanes through orchards and villages are narrow and often muddy with farm traffic, and the coast at Whitstable and Herne Bay brings sea air that is hard on rims and valves."
  ],
  "mobile": "Many homes around Canterbury have drives, and the university campuses and business parks have large car parks a fitter can use with permission. Choose your spot, and the fitter arrives with your tyres, fits and balances them where the car is and takes the old ones away.",
  "workshop": "If you would rather drop the car off, workshops on the network around Canterbury list their distance and their fitted price before you book. A garage is the right place for an alignment check.",

  "team": "We love Canterbury because it wears its history lightly. Pilgrims have come here for more than eight centuries, and today the streets are full of students, visitors and independent shops. It is a compact, walkable city, and nobody who lives here wants to drive across it to a tyre centre.",

      "q": "Can a fitter come inside the city walls?",
      "a": "Much of the centre is pedestrianised, so it depends on where the car is parked. A nearby car park or a home outside the walls is usually easier. Add details at booking."
