Mobile Tyre Fitting in Guildford

Driving round Guildford means a bit of everything. The A3 carries commuters past the town towards London and Portsmouth, the A31 climbs along the Hog's Back to Farnham, and the A281 and A25 lead out into lanes that wind through the Surrey Hills. In between there is the gyratory, the steep cobbled High Street area and a lot of residential roads in places like Stoughton and Onslow Village where cars spend the night parked half on the pavement.

A tyre can let you down on any of those. Rather than crawling on a flat to a workshop, you can call us and a mobile fitter will come out to the car with a new tyre and the tools to fit it on the spot. We take calls at any hour, seven days a week, and in most cases we aim to reach you within 60 minutes, though A3 queues at rush hour can stretch that.

There is not much to it on your side. A typical job goes like this:

1. You ring or message us and say where the car is, whether that is a driveway in Burpham, a lay-by on the A31 or a space at the station.
2. We pass the job to a nearby fitter. Our network runs to more than 100 mobile tyre fitters across England and Wales, many with decades of experience, so the van is usually not far off.
3. The fitter checks the damage and tells you whether the tyre can be repaired or needs replacing, and what it will cost, before touching anything.
4. The work is done where you are. Balancing is free, the old tyre is taken away at no charge, and every new tyre has the manufacturer's guarantee. Card, cash or bank transfer are all fine.

• Mobile tyre fitting: choose from budget, mid-range or premium brands and have them fitted outside the house, at the office or in a car park near the university, so you are not spending a morning waiting at a garage.
• Puncture repair: a nail picked up on a building site road or a screw from a lane in Shalford can often be fixed, provided it sits in the central part of the tread and is not too large. If it isn't safe, we fit a replacement there and then.
• Van tyres: for trades and delivery drivers running between Guildford, Woking and the villages, where a van off the road means missed jobs.
• Breakdown recovery: when a wheel is bent or the car has stopped somewhere it can't safely be worked on, such as a narrow stretch of the A3, we can arrange to move it.

Our fitters cover the whole of Guildford, including the town centre, Merrow, Burpham, Stoughton, Onslow Village, Park Barn, Bellfields and the area around the cathedral and the University of Surrey. Shalford, Godalming, Cranleigh and the villages along the A25 towards Dorking are part of the patch too.

On the main roads we work along the A3 up to junction 10 of the M25, the A31 over the Hog's Back, the A281 heading south, the A320 towards Woking and the A25. Further afield we also look after drivers in Aldershot, Camberley and Addlestone.

Plenty of local driving mixes long, fast runs on the A3 with tight turns round the gyratory and the odd bump over a kerb when parking on a narrow street. Over time that can knock the wheel alignment out, and the tyres show it before the steering does. Look at the front tyres with the wheels turned to full lock: if the inner or outer edge is visibly more worn than the middle, or the tread blocks feel sharp one way and smooth the other when you run a hand across them, the tracking is probably out.

Left alone, misalignment can wear through the edge of a tyre while the centre still looks healthy, so a quick glance at the middle of the tread can be misleading. If you spot it, get the alignment checked, and swap or replace the worn tyres before the edge reaches the legal limit.

Ring 07989 606060 at any time of the day or night. If a call isn't convenient, send a WhatsApp message or fill in the contact form and we will get back to you.

It helps to have the size from the tyre's sidewall, your registration and a clear description of where the car is, such as the road name or the nearest junction. For general questions, take a look at our frequently asked questions.
