Montebello Group

Montebello Group combines a tyre business with a used car showroom at Tal-Barrani Road in Żejtun, in the south-east of Malta. It started out as a tyre importer and repair service and has grown into a place where you can buy tyres, repair a puncture, have wheels aligned, replace a battery or look at cars brought in from overseas. On VisitMalta.co.uk it appears in our directories of tyre shops in Malta and car dealerships in Malta.

For a UK reader, the mix is a handy one. Malta drives on the left, as Britain does, so a business that imports used vehicles and also looks after their tyres, wheels and batteries can deal with most of what a car owner needs in one place.

The tyre centre

Tyres are the heart of the group's history. Today it offers tyres to suit all makes and models and sources them from around the world when a particular size or type is needed. Stock runs from wheelbarrow size up to earthmover tyres, which gives some idea of how wide the range is, and wholesale customers can benefit from the group's buying power.

The workshop services tyres of every kind. That includes puncture repair on all types of tyre, even run flat tyres, and inner repairs backed by a large selection of tubes, O-rings and flaps. Wheel alignment and battery supply are listed alongside tyre repair, so a single visit can cover more than one job. The website does not print prices, so ask for a quote when you enquire.

Wheel hub and alloys

A section of the showroom is given over to wheels. Racks of alloy wheels line the floor, and a display wall shows rims in many finishes, with brand names visible on the signage. The news section of the website has mentioned a new stock of alloys for BMW, a sign that the wheel hub keeps adding to its range.

If you want to refresh the look of your car or replace a damaged rim, this is the part of the business to ask about. Wheels, tyres and alignment can all be handled on the same site, which saves a second trip.

Car imports and local used cars

Montebello was one of the first companies to import foreign cars into Malta. It offers a wide range of used cars of high quality, together with a good choice of local cars. The imported vehicles are top grade and certified for original mileage.

The sales team will source a car from anywhere in the world, arrange its transport to Malta and complete the Maltese paperwork. That is useful if you are relocating and want to find a car without handling the import process yourself. Our Malta relocation guide explains the wider move, and the Malta tax guide for UK nationals sets out the tax background for new residents.

Visiting Żejtun and getting started

Żejtun is a historic town close to Marsaxlokk and the Three Cities, so a trip to the showroom fits neatly into a day in the south-east. The Three Cities guide and the things to do in Malta page offer ideas for the rest of the day, and the where to stay in Malta guide helps if you are choosing a base.

Montebello also treats its staff as its greatest asset, investing in training and industry-related qualifications, and it accepts job applications from people who want to join the team. The business welcomes visitors to the showroom and also takes enquiries online. Use the VisitMalta.co.uk enquiry form on this page and we will pass your message to the business. If you are still planning your trip, the Malta holidays overview is a good place to begin.
