Merityre on West Way, Andover, has reached platinum in Pirelli's Performance Centre network after its 130-point audit. Updated November 2026.
Merityre’s Andover garage on Walworth Business Park has reached platinum status in Pirelli’s Performance Centre network, which the company says puts it among the best performing centres in the tyre maker’s audited network.
Each centre in the network has to pass a 130-point technical audit twice a year. According to the garage, the audit covers everything from tyre knowledge and technical proficiency to customer care.
Andover is the third Merityre depot to reach platinum, after its branches in Petersfield and Woking.
What the manager says
Sean Forgham, the centre manager, said: “We’re absolutely delighted that our Andover depot has achieved platinum status as a Pirelli Performance Centre. It’s a fantastic achievement for the team and recognition that we’re part of a network committed to high standards of technical expertise and customer service.
“We’re proud to offer motorists access to Pirelli’s premium tyre range alongside the advice and professional fitting they need to get the best from their vehicles. This accreditation gives us another reason to celebrate the work of our team and the service we provide to our customers.”
What it means for drivers
