Mobile Tyre Fitting in Braintree

Driving around Braintree tends to mean one of two things. Either you are on the A120, the dual carriageway that carries traffic west towards Great Dunmow and the M11 and east towards Colchester, or you are on the A131 heading for Chelmsford or up to Sudbury. In between are the lanes that link the villages of Rayne, Panfield, Cressing and the Notleys, where hedges, flints and potholes all take their toll on tyres.

Whichever road the trouble happens on, we bring the fix to you. A mobile fitter turns up with a suitable tyre and fits it where the car is parked or stopped safely. Our phone line is open through the night and at weekends, and we generally aim to get someone to Braintree within 60 minutes, though rural addresses and heavy traffic can add time.

If you live out in one of the villages, the nearest workshop could be a fair drive away, and a soft tyre is not something to drive far on. With a mobile service you skip that journey completely. The fitter comes from our network of over 100 across England and Wales, and the person nearest to you gets the job.

Balancing the wheel and taking away the old tyre are free. Any new tyre you have fitted carries the manufacturer's guarantee, and the price we agree is the price you pay, with no hidden fees. Pay however suits you: card, cash or bank transfer.

It also helps with timing. A lot of Braintree residents commute by train from the town or from Witham, and a flat found at seven in the morning can be dealt with while you are at work, as long as the car is somewhere a fitter can safely reach and we have agreed with you how to get at the wheels, including any locking nut key.

• Mobile tyre fitting at home in Bocking, at the office, or in a shopping car park on the edge of town, with a choice of premium, mid-range and budget tyres.
• Puncture repair for thorns, nails and screws in the tread area, where a safe repair is possible. Holes too close to the edge are replaced instead.
• Van tyres for builders, farm suppliers and delivery drivers whose vehicles cover the A120 and A131 every day.
• Breakdown recovery if the vehicle has stopped somewhere unsafe or has damage beyond the tyre.

We cover Braintree town and Bocking to the north, plus Great Notley, Black Notley and White Notley to the south. Villages such as Rayne, Panfield, Cressing and Felsted are all within reach, and we attend calls on the A120 and A131, including the junction where they meet near Great Notley.

Fitters also travel on to Chelmsford, Colchester and, along the A120, Bishop's Stortford.

Country lanes around Braintree are lined with hedgerows, and once they have been cut back, the trimmings can sit on the road for days. Hawthorn and blackthorn spikes are sharp enough to work into a tyre, and they often cause slow leaks rather than a sudden flat.

After driving freshly cut lanes, look over your tyres for small dark spikes in the tread. If a tyre seems to need topping up every few days, a thorn is a likely culprit. Thorn punctures are usually small and in the tread, so they are often repairable, provided you have not driven on the tyre while it was badly under-inflated, which can damage the sidewall from the inside.

Call 07989 606060, any time of day, or reach us through WhatsApp or the contact form. Village addresses can be hard to find, so a postcode or a nearby landmark helps. We will also ask for the tyre size from the sidewall and your registration.
