Getting Accrington Drivers Rolling Again
Accrington is the main town in Hyndburn, set between Blackburn and Burnley. Junction 7 of the M65 serves it, the A680 runs through on its way between Rochdale and Whalley, and the A56 dual carriageway carries traffic south towards the M66 and Manchester. Many people here drive to work in neighbouring towns or down to Greater Manchester, and the roads in between see a lot of wear.
If you end up with a flat, a fitter can come to you instead of you having to get to them. We'll send someone with the right tyre to your home, your workplace or the roadside, at any time of day or night. In most cases we aim to arrive within 60 minutes, depending on location and traffic.
The town's older streets are often narrow, with cars parked along both sides. That's rarely a problem for a mobile fitter, who needs only enough room to get to the damaged wheel without stepping into passing traffic.
What a Mobile Fitter Brings to Your Door
When you call, we pass the job to the nearest available fitter from a network of over 100 across England and Wales. They come prepared to repair a puncture or fit a new tyre, and they'll tell you straight which one you need.
- Free balancing with every tyre we fit.
- Free disposal of the tyre that comes off.
- The manufacturer's guarantee on new tyres, whatever the brand.
- Flexible payment by card, cash or bank transfer, with no hidden fees.

After a Pothole: Signs of Wheel and Tyre Damage
Local roads take a pounding over winter, with rain and frost opening up potholes faster than they can be filled. Hitting one hard can do more than give you a jolt. It can pinch the tyre against the rim, crack or bend an alloy, or knock the wheel alignment out.
After a heavy impact, watch for the car pulling to one side, a steering wheel that is no longer straight when you're driving straight, or a new vibration at speed. Look at the tyre for bulges or cuts, and at the rim for dents. If the tread starts wearing on one edge over the following weeks, the alignment is probably out and should be checked, or you'll be replacing tyres sooner than you should. Any bulge means the tyre needs replacing straight away.
It also helps to keep tyres at the right pressure through the winter. An under-inflated tyre squashes more easily against the rim when it drops into a hole, so it is more likely to be cut or pinched. A quick monthly check with a gauge, done when the tyres are cold, is one of the simplest ways to protect both the tyre and the wheel.
