Mobile Tyre Fitting in Faringdon

Faringdon is a market town in the Vale of White Horse, roughly 18 miles south-west of Oxford and 12 miles from Swindon, and it sits where two important roads meet. The A420 linking Swindon and Oxford swings round the town on a bypass that passes just south of Folly Hill and crosses the A417, which runs east to Wantage. Most journeys out of town are by car, and many locals spend a good part of the week on the A420 itself.

A puncture out here can leave you a long way from a tyre bay, so we bring the tyre bay to you. A mobile fitter turns up with the right size and the equipment, then sorts the car out at home, at work or at a safe stopping place. You can call any hour of any day; we try to be with most people inside an hour, depending on traffic and how far out you are.

When the nearest big towns are a twenty-minute drive or more, driving there on a damaged tyre isn't a good idea. Here is what happens when you call us instead:

• A nearby fitter is dispatched. We have more than 100 mobile fitters around England and Wales, so the closest free one takes your job.
• Repair first if it's safe. If the damage can be fixed properly, it is; otherwise a new tyre goes on there and then.
• No charge for the extras. Balancing and disposing of the old tyre are free, and new tyres carry the manufacturer's guarantee.
• Straightforward payment. Card, cash or bank transfer afterwards, with no hidden fees.

• Mobile tyre fitting: choose from budget, mid-range or premium tyres, fitted on your drive or in a car park in the market town.
• Puncture repair: for a small hole in the middle section of the tread, a repair to British Standard guidance is usually possible.
• Van tyres: farm, trade and delivery vans working around the Vale can be sorted where they are parked.
• Breakdown recovery: if the car has stopped on the A420 or the wheel is beyond a roadside fix, we can arrange to move it.

Our fitters cover the town centre and the residential streets around it, plus the villages close by: Great Coxwell and Little Coxwell to the south and south-west, Littleworth off the A420 to the north-east, and Buckland a little further out. Shrivenham, further along the A420 towards Swindon, is covered as well.

Along the main roads we reach Swindon and Highworth to the west, Wantage along the A417, and Oxford at the far end of the A420.

Plenty of cars have one locking nut on each wheel, which needs a special adaptor, often called the key, to undo it. It is a small part that tends to disappear: left in a glovebox of a previous car, kept at home, or lost after the last service. Without it, removing the wheel takes a lot longer.

Check now that you know where yours is, and keep it in the car, ideally with the jack or in the boot tray. If you have bought a used car, make sure the key came with it. When you call us, mention whether you have locking nuts and whether the key is with you, so the fitter can come prepared. On a long country road with no garage nearby, that small detail can save a lot of time.

The number to ring is 07989 606060, at any time of day or night. A WhatsApp message or our online form will reach us just as well.

We'll ask for the tyre size from the sidewall, the registration and your location. If you're on the bypass, a direction of travel and nearest junction help the fitter find you. For more on cost, see our pricing explained.
