Why Is It Wise to Choose Mobile Tyre Fitting?

You might think that getting new tyres fitted has to be done on site at your preferred garage or service station. This is not the case: mobile tyre fitting is a new offer that can attend to your tyre needs at a time and location of your choosing. Even if you are planning to travel around the UK, be it a busy city like London or even a scenic route towards Scotland.

Let us take a look at why it is wise to choose mobile tyre fitting over having it done at your local garage.

No Disruption to Your Day

With a mobile tyre fitting, the mechanic will come to you. You can be at home or at work – as long as the mobile tyre fitter has a clear space to park their van next to your car, they can get on with their work in almost any location. This means that you can leave them to it and carry on with your usual day: attending meetings, hitting targets and adding value to your company, or – if you are at home – doing your chores or relaxing in front of the television. This has an additional advantage: as you are gainfully occupied, you are not worrying about how long the tyre fitting will take which means that the mechanic can work methodically and carefully until the job is properly done and neatly finished off.

You Choose the Time and Day

With a mobile tyre service, you can book your tyre fitting in exactly the same way you would if you were taking your car to your local garage for the tyre fitting to be done. Your mechanic will note the work that needs to be done and bring everything necessary with them, ready to get on with the job. This means that you can arrange your tyre fitting to suit your calendar, picking a time when you have up to two hours of time when you will not need your car to do the school run, pick up the groceries, or attend appointments.

It is a Fully Equipped Workshop

The mechanic will be able to do everything that you have requested, and even more besides. Thanks to the many advances in computing and in coach design, a mechanic in a mobile tyre fitting van will have everything he or she needs to change your tyres, perform wheel balancing and tyre alignment, check your new tyres are inflated to the right pressure levels and a host of other useful tasks besides. Many of these tasks are now computerized so your vehicle will be left in as good shape after the mobile fitting as it would have been had you taken it to a large and spacious physical garage.

You Can Call Them in an Emergency

While not exactly roadside assistance, a mobile tyre fitter does also double as an emergency service for tyres. You can call your local garage, if you know they offer a mobile tyre fitting service, and ask them for an emergency call out to replace your blown tyre. The mobile tyre fitting van is equipped with all the safety equipment that will be needed: orange flashing emergency lights, red triangles and perhaps even an emergency flasher on the roof of the van to alert other road users some way off that the van is stationary and to be avoided. If possible, should you be able to safely drive for a short time after your tyre begins to fail, find a clear, safe place to park while you await the van’s arrival.
