Mobile Tyre Fitting in Shortlands, Bromley
We change wheels and fit tyres all over Shortlands, from the driveway to the hard shoulder. On a fast road such as Shortlands Road we may move the car to somewhere safe first; on a quiet street we can usually do the whole job where it stands.
If you have a serviceable spare, we will change the wheel safely where you are in Shortlands. If you do not, we bring a replacement tyre in your size and fit it on the spot. Tell us the size from the sidewall — something like 205/55 R16 — when you ring 07961 100260.
How quickly we reach Shortlands
Our trucks start from Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, roughly 9.3 miles from Shortlands. For an emergency that means we are usually 30 to 50 minutes, usually arriving via Shortlands Road or Beckenham Lane. We will never promise a time we cannot keep — if the traffic is bad, we tell you on the phone.

Around Shortlands: roads, landmarks and stations
Most of our Shortlands tyre call-outs are on the street outside the customer's home, but we are just as often at Shortlands Golf Club, at Shortlands station or on Shortlands Road. Locking wheel nut missing? Let us know — we carry removal kits.
With 2 stations nearby — Shortlands and Ravensbourne — commuter car parks are a regular call-out here; tell us which one and whether it has a barrier.
If you do not know the street name, a landmark is just as good: Shortlands Golf Club, Church House Gardens and River Ravensbourne, or the stations at Shortlands and Ravensbourne. A dropped pin from your phone works too.
What it costs in Shortlands
You will know the cost before we commit to anything. Where the vehicle is, where it needs to go, what it is and whether anything makes it awkward — no keys, will not roll, a tight spot — all change the work involved. Once we have agreed a figure, that is what you pay — nothing is added afterwards. We take card and bank transfer.

Mobile Tyre Fitting in Shortlands — FAQs
My car has no spare wheel — can you still help?
Yes. Tell us the tyre size from the sidewall (for example 205/55 R16) and we will bring a replacement and fit it where you are. If we cannot source that size quickly, we recover the car to a tyre specialist instead.
How quickly can you reach me in Shortlands?
Shortlands is about 9.3 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 30 to 50 minutes, normally coming in via Shortlands Road and Beckenham Lane. Traffic, the time of day and how many jobs are running all move that, so when you ring 07961 100260 we give you a real window for that moment rather than a best case.
Can you remove a locking wheel nut without the key?
Yes. We carry removal tools for most locking wheel nuts. It takes a little longer, so mention it when you ring.
Do you cover all of BR2?
Yes — every street in BR2, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Bromley, Beckenham, Downham and Bickley, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
Is it safe to drive on a space-saver spare?
For a short distance at reduced speed, yes — usually no more than 50 mph and only as far as you need to go to get the tyre replaced. Check the sticker on the wheel for its limits.
My car won't start at Shortlands station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Shortlands, usually for a flat battery after the car has sat all day. Tell us which car park and roughly where you are parked. If it has a height barrier or a pay-on-exit gate, mention that too and we will send the right vehicle and sort the exit with you.
Can you fit a tyre at the side of a fast road?
Not safely. On a fast dual carriageway, motorway or red route we recover the car to somewhere safe first and change the wheel there. Your safety comes before the job.
I have broken down on Shortlands Road — what should I do?
Put your hazards on, stay visible and ring 07961 100260. Give us the nearest house number or junction and we will tell you exactly where we will load. If the street is tightly parked we may winch the car out rather than reverse in, so it helps to know how much space there is.
Do you fit run-flat tyres?
Yes, for most sizes. A run-flat that has been driven on while deflated usually needs replacing rather than repairing, and we can bring the right one out to you.
Are you open at night and at weekends in Shortlands?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Shortlands, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
