Center Gravity Memberships: Faster access. Better value. Smarter ownership.

At Center Gravity, we’ve always believed in doing things differently: putting honesty, precision, and customer clarity ahead of flash and fluff.

But we’ve also listened — and the same few frustrations tend to come up time and again. The wait for a booking when your car needs attention now. Wondering if the cost of high-end service really matches the value you’re getting. And the desire to keep your car in peak condition without being blindsided by a big, unexpected bill.

That’s why we decided to introduce Membership Plans. Not just another upsell (let's be honest, there is nothing worse!), but a smarter, more predictable, partnership-style way to work with our enthusiast owners and discerning drivers year after year.

The method behind the madness:

  • Consistency over one-offs: Our best work is done when we’re involved over many seasons (even months and years), spotting emerging issues before they become crises. Memberships let us build that “through the seasons” insight.

  • Fairness, priority, predictability: As demand for our services increases, we want to reward loyal customers, not leave them waiting. Memberships give you access to priority booking, fixed benefits, and known costs.

  • Better planning for both sides: Knowing how many “members” we serve helps us manage capacity, invest in tooling (so your jobs are faster), and scale without losing quality or turning into a transactional garage.

In short: Memberships help us consistently deliver the service experience you deserve — reliably, transparently, and with real value.

Benefits of being a member

We’ve designed several membership tiers to suit different types of drivers. (Yes, you can pick what matches your style — from everyday road to full track obsession.) But here are the core benefits across the board:

Core advantages every member will enjoy:

  • Priority / faster booking — You jump the queue (within 14 days for many tiers, faster for higher levels).

  • Regular checks & snapshots — Scheduled suspension health checks, geometry reviews, seasonal inspections, so small issues don’t escalate.

  • Tyre swap / fitment inclusions — Different tiers come with 1, 2, or more full-set tyre swaps included. This not only gives you flexibility to drive all season, but also saves you space in the garage. 

  • Discounts & added perks — Reduced rates on extra tyre swaps, discounted labour, exclusive offers.

  • Storage, tech Q&A, concierge service — For higher tiers: secure wheel storage, monthly Q&A sessions, direct lines to senior techs, full track prep.

  • Peace of mind + performance assurance — Ultimately: less anxiety, and more confidence that your car is always optimised, however you intend to use it. 

How benefits scale in higher tiers

As you move up tiers (Track & Tread, Centerlock Edition, Grand Tour, Ten Tenths), the benefits stack up:

  • More tyre swaps

  • More inclusive or full geometry / alignment services

  • Advanced suspension reporting or diagnostics

  • Priority access windows shrink

  • Concierge / direct-tech access

  • Track-prep and more frequent servicing

  • Greater discounts and bundled extras

So if you're an occasional road-user or weekend enthusiast, Track & Tread or Centerlock Edition could be the ideal fit. If you’re a more frequent track-goer or road tripper, Grand Tour or Ten Tenths offer the deeper support and performance coverage you’ll likely need.

Not just benefits, but real value

You might wonder, “Is this going to cost more overall?” In many cases, the answer is no — or not significantly — once you factor in:

  1. Time saved & convenience
    No more chasing slots, emergency calls, or waiting weeks. You’ll have priority booking, predictable scheduling, and fewer last-minute stresses. For many drivers, that convenience alone makes the membership worthwhile.

  2. Discount leverage + included services
    From tyre swaps and labour discounts to bundled track prep — you get better value by accessing services in a package, not piecemeal. It smooths out costs and gives you more for your money.

  3. Avoidance of surprise bills
    Regular checks help you stay on top of wear and tear before it turns into something expensive. That means fewer unexpected invoices and more peace of mind.

  4. Better resale / long-term performance retention
    A car that’s been looked after regularly, aligned properly, and documented well will not only drive better — it will often hold value better too.

Our membership is a way to make your life easier and your car better — every year — without surprises.

More flexibility, same benefits

We understand that even a lump-sum annual payment can be a hurdle. That’s why we’re rolling out monthly payment options for all membership tiers. Here’s how that works:

  • You pick your desired membership tier (Track & Tread, Grand Tour, etc.).

  • Instead of paying the full £399, £750, £2,000 (etc.) upfront, you pay a fixed monthly installments spread over 12 months via direct debit.

  • All the benefits of the membership begin immediately — you do not wait until “you’ve fully paid in.”

  • If you ever upgrade your tier mid-year, we pro-rate the difference.

  • We’ll use a trusted payment provider (card / direct debit) to handle the setups transparently and securely.

How to choose, sign up and get started

  1. Pick the tier that matches your usage
    Look at how often you drive, whether you go to track days, how intensive your usage is.

  2. Sign up via our website or call us
    We’ll send you our T's and C's and either ask for a credit card or direct debit setup.

  3. Get your baseline inspection / geometry / health snapshot
    When you join, we’ll assess your car so you start from a clean slate (applicable for GT or TT.)

  4. Book appointments as priority whenever needed
    When your tyres need swapping, you need alignment, or you want track prep, you just book as a member — you’ll get preferential treatment.

  5. Track your benefits & usage
    We’ll provide you with reports, reminders, and transparency so you can see what you’re getting.

Final Word

We created these memberships because we believe in a better way: a long-term relationship with people who care as much as we do about how their car feels and performs.

If you’re tired of feeling like “just another job,” or of waiting behind the queue when it matters, this is our promise: with a membership, you’ll get the predictability, priority, and proactive care your car deserves.
