Covering the Crossroads of Cornwall
Bodmin is a market town in the middle of Cornwall, on the western edge of Bodmin Moor, and it sits on two of the county's most important roads. The A30 passes the town on its way west, the A38 begins here at Castle Canyke before heading east towards Plymouth, and the A389 joins at Cooksland. Whether you live here or are just passing through, there's a good chance a long drive is involved.
That's exactly when a tyre tends to fail. If it happens to you, we'll send a mobile fitter with a replacement to the spot: a lay-by off the A30, a street in town, or a car park while you're at work. There's no towing to a garage and no waiting room. We operate 24/7 and aim to reach you within 60 minutes in most cases, depending on location and traffic.
Questions Bodmin Drivers Usually Ask
Who actually turns up? A fitter from our network of more than 100 mobile technicians across England and Wales, chosen because they're closest to you at the time.
Is anything extra on top of the tyre? No hidden fees. Wheel balancing is free, and so is taking away the old tyre. Prices depend on the size, brand, time and place, and you can pay by cash, card or bank transfer.
What about the guarantee? Every new tyre we fit carries the manufacturer's guarantee.
Tyre Work We Carry Out Locally
Need new rubber? Our mobile tyre fitting service supplies budget, mid-range and premium tyres for cars and fits them where you are. Picked up a nail on a farm track? Ask about puncture repair: a hole of 6 mm or less in the central part of the tread can usually be repaired safely.
Plenty of vans pass through Bodmin between the east and west of the county, and our van tyre fitting keeps them moving. If your car can't be fixed at the roadside, perhaps because the wheel has been damaged in a pothole, we can arrange breakdown recovery.
Town, Moor and Main Roads
We cover all of Bodmin itself and the countryside around it, including the moorland roads to the east. Our fitters know the junctions where the A30, A38 and A389 meet around the town, which helps when you're trying to describe where you've stopped.
South along the A391 we reach St Austell, and we cover the drive to Newquay on the north coast. Following the A38 east, our coverage continues to Plymouth.
Out on the moor, mobile signal and landmarks can both be thin on the ground. If you can, note a milestone, a farm name or a road sign before you call, or share your location from your phone's map app. The more precise the spot, the quicker the fitter can find you.
Crossing the Moor? Check Your Tread Depth
High, exposed ground like Bodmin Moor gets more than its share of rain, mist and standing water. Tyres with worn tread can't clear water from under the car fast enough, so grip drops sharply and aquaplaning becomes a real risk on a fast dual carriageway like the A30.
The legal minimum for a car is 1.6 mm across the central three-quarters of the tread, but braking distances in the wet grow well before that. Use a tread depth gauge or the wear bars moulded into the grooves, and think about replacing tyres sooner if you regularly drive over the moor in bad weather. Check all four, as fronts and rears often wear at different rates.
