Mobile Tyre Fitting & Flat Tyre Change

A puncture is the one breakdown almost nobody is prepared for any more. Most new cars are sold without a spare wheel — you get a can of sealant and a compressor, and neither is any use for a sidewall tear or a blowout. We come to you instead.

Two different jobs, and which one you need

If you have a serviceable spare, a space saver or a run-flat, this is a wheel change and it is quick. We swap it at the roadside or on your driveway and you carry on. If you have no spare, or the tyre is beyond repair, that is a tyre fitting job — we bring a replacement to you and fit it on the spot rather than recovering the car to a garage and leaving you without it.

Tell us the tyre size when you ring. It is on the sidewall, something like 205/55 R16, and it is the difference between us arriving with the right tyre and arriving twice.

Where a roadside change is not safe

We will not change a wheel on the offside of a live carriageway, on a motorway hard shoulder, or anywhere the traffic makes kneeling beside the car dangerous. In those situations we recover the vehicle to somewhere safe first and do the work there. That is not us being awkward — roadside tyre changes on fast roads are how people get hurt.

Locking wheel nuts and the missing key

The single most common complication is a locking wheel nut with no key, usually because the car was bought second hand and the key never came with it. We carry extraction tools and can get most of them off, but it adds time. If you know the key is missing, say so on the phone.

Puncture repair rather than replacement

Not every puncture needs a new tyre. A clean nail in the central tread area can usually be plugged and patched properly, which is cheaper and perfectly safe. Damage to the sidewall or the shoulder cannot be repaired, whatever anybody tells you. We will look at it and tell you honestly which one you have.

If it turns into something bigger

Sometimes a puncture is the least of it — a kerb strike that has bent a wheel or knocked the tracking out needs more than a tyre. Because we run our own workshop we can take it in, put it on the alignment gear and sort it, rather than fitting a tyre and leaving you with a car that pulls to the left.
