National Tyres and Autocare

National Tyres and Autocare is a Blue Light Card partner, meaning armed forces personnel can access a discount on tyres and servicing. The brand is also part of the Halfords group, which signed the Armed Forces Covenant in 2019 committing to 10% off in retail stores and 10% off selected services at autocentres through Defence Discount Service. DDS has featured National Tyres and Autocare directly in its motoring offers.

Who Is Eligible

Serving personnel, veterans, reservists and forces families with a Blue Light Card or DDS membership can access the discount. Blue Light Card costs £4.99 for five years. DDS is free to register with, though the Defence Privilege Card at £4.99 unlocks in-person high street discounts.

What National Tyres and Autocare Covers

National Tyres and Autocare is the UK's largest independent fast-fit specialist with over 50 years of trading. Services cover tyres from premium brands including Continental, Pirelli and Michelin alongside mid-range and budget options, plus car servicing, MOTs, brakes, exhausts, batteries and air conditioning. The garage network operates alongside Halfords Autocentres under the same group ownership.

The site runs its own promotional codes independently of any forces scheme — multi-tyre purchase discounts of 10% on two to three tyres and 15% on four tyres have appeared on qualifying brands. These general codes cannot be combined with other offers, so comparing the forces rate against the current promotional code before booking is worth doing.

For motoring deals across the forces community, the motoring forces discounts section covers savings on tyres, servicing, breakdown cover and car hire. The Halfords forces discount page covers the parent group's Covenant-backed scheme.
