Everything You Need to Know About Mobile Tyre Fitting
The concept of mobile tyre fitting is simple but the quality of service can vary enormously between providers. Here is exactly what happens when you book with Saltire Mobile Tyres, from the moment you pick up the phone to the moment you drive away on your new rubber.
Step 1: Booking Your Appointment
Call us or submit an online enquiry. We will ask for your vehicle registration, the tyre size you need (we can look this up for you), your location and your preferred appointment time. We will confirm a time slot and give you an upfront quote inclusive of all labour and balancing.
Step 2: Our Van Arrives
Our fully equipped mobile tyre van arrives at your chosen location — home, workplace or roadside. The van carries a broad range of tyre brands and sizes, a professional tyre fitting machine, wheel balancing equipment, torque wrench and all necessary tools.
Step 3: Vehicle Safety Check
Before fitting, our technician carries out a brief visual inspection of your wheel arches, brake components and existing tyre condition. This takes about two minutes and can identify any issues that may affect your tyres' performance or longevity.
Step 4: Tyre Fitting and Balancing
The old tyre is removed and the new tyre is fitted and inflated to the correct pressure for your vehicle. Wheel balancing is then performed to eliminate vibration and ensure even tyre wear. The wheel is refitted and torqued to the manufacturer's specification.
Step 5: Tyre Disposal
We take your old tyres away for environmentally responsible recycling. You do not need to worry about tyre disposal — it is all handled by us at no extra cost.
