A Mobile Tyre Service for Dorset's County Town
Dorchester is where several of Dorset's main roads come together. The A35 bypass curves round the west, south and east of the town, the A37 heads north to Yeovil, and the A354 drops south to Weymouth, with the A352 adding another route in. Leave those, and you're quickly on narrow country lanes between farms and villages.
Our fitters handle both. Whether the flat happens on a residential street in Poundbury, in a car park in the town centre or in a lay-by on the bypass, a fitter drives to you with the right tyre and fits it there. We're available 24 hours a day, and in most cases we aim to reach you within 60 minutes, though it can take a little longer if you're out in the lanes.
What to Expect When You Ring
Here's what you get each time a fitter comes out in and around Dorchester:
- A fitter from our network of 100+ across England and Wales, picked because they're near you.
- A choice of premium, mid-range or budget tyres, each with the manufacturer's guarantee.
- Free wheel balancing and free disposal of the tyre that comes off.
- Clear pricing with no hidden fees, paid by cash, card or bank transfer when the job's done.
Costs depend on the tyre size, the brand, the time and your location, so we'll quote once we know those details.
Services Across Dorchester and the Surrounding Villages
- Mobile tyre fitting: replacement tyres fitted on your driveway, at the office or at the farm gate, so you don't need to drive on a worn or damaged tyre.
- Mobile tyre repair: if the puncture is small and within the central three-quarters of the tread, a proper repair is often possible, which saves you buying a tyre you don't need.
- Van tyre fitting: useful for agricultural suppliers, builders and anyone running a van between Dorchester and the coast.
- Breakdown recovery: available when a damaged wheel or a dangerous location means the car has to be moved.
Poundbury, Fordington and the Roads Out of Town
We cover the town centre, Fordington and Poundbury, and the A35, A37, A352 and A354 as they leave Dorchester. Villages in the countryside around the town are covered too; just tell us where you are and we'll confirm. If you're unsure of the exact address, a nearby junction, a village sign or the name of the lane is enough for the fitter to find you.
Along the coast and beyond, we also look after drivers in Weymouth, Yeovil and Poole.
Hedge-Cutting Season and Slow Punctures
In late summer and autumn, the hedges along the lanes around Dorchester get trimmed, and the cuttings end up on the road. Hawthorn and blackthorn are the problem: their thorns are short and sharp enough to work into the tread without you noticing, and the tyre loses air over a few days rather than all at once.
If you drive the lanes regularly, give your tyres a quick look every week or so through the autumn. Run a hand carefully around the tread, or spray soapy water over it and watch for a stream of small bubbles. A tyre that needs topping up every few days is telling you something. Caught early, a thorn puncture in the middle of the tread is usually repairable. Left too long, the tyre can be damaged by running soft and may need replacing.

Ring 07989 606060, whatever the hour. If you're in a spot with weak signal, a WhatsApp message or the contact form may get through more easily. Let us know your location (a village name or postcode is fine), your car's registration and the tyre size if you have it.
