Welcome to the team Roger!

Roger has been working at First Stop Dealer Ghent since 2023! Bart and Aisha could really use the help, since the new website is live it is getting busier and busier.

Roger speaking

What I love about my job is the freedom. I get to arrange my schedule myself. You feel like you run your own garage. You arrive in the morning, see which cars or trucks need a tyre change and start working. That freedom really appealed to me when I applied here.

Even if we want a day's leave, for example, we can mutually agree as long as one of us two is always present in the garage. My last job in construction was much less flexible in that respect. No, I wouldn't have it any other way. My job doesn't feel like work either: the day flies by.

What I also like is recently the witty hour. There is a food truck here in the car park and we get explanations about how well we are doing. This is fun for two reasons: you can catch up with colleagues and you feel involved in the company, regardless of your position. Everyone is equal.

The family atmosphere at First Stop Dealer Ghent is another thing that appeals to me. We work in a large garage, yet everyone knows everyone here. Admit it: that's more fun to work, isn't it?

Summer tyres

The unique rubber compound gives summer tyres a better grip on the road during warmer periods. Moreover, summer tyres wear less quickly than winter or all-season tyres during these periods. A summer tyre's coarser tread also increases grip at higher temperatures.

Winter tyres are not adapted to summer conditions. Continuing to drive on winter tyres in summer is less safe and more expensive. At higher temperatures, the rubber of winter tyres becomes too soft. This affects grip and increases wear. We therefore recommend fitting summer tyres from 15 March onwards.

All-season tyres

The biggest advantage of the all-season or four-season tyre is its hassle-free nature. You do not need to have your car tyres replaced twice a year at our tyre centre. The rubber and tread offer sufficient grip in almost all not too extreme weather conditions. But in extreme weather conditions, a good winter tyre is still preferred.

A four-season tyre does wear faster than a summer tyre in higher temperatures because the compound of an all-season is softer.

Winter tyres

Winter tyres have remarkably better grip in winter conditions. This is due to a modified rubber compound and finer grooves in the tread. In Belgium, it is recommended to fit winter tyres under the car from 1 October. Then you can enjoy winter tyres to the full.
