Mobile Tyre Fitting in Hitchin

Three A roads meet in Hitchin. The A505 runs through towards Luton one way and Letchworth the other, the A600 heads off to the north, and the A602 starts here on its way to Stevenage. The A1(M) is only a few miles to the east. So drivers in the town are constantly switching between old streets, busy junctions and faster roads, and a tyre problem can show up on any of them.

Rather than you trying to reach a garage, we send a fitter to wherever you've stopped. That might be a residential road in Walsworth, a supermarket car park or a lay-by just outside town. The service runs 24 hours a day, and in most cases we expect to arrive within 60 minutes of your call, although traffic sometimes adds time.

The older parts of town have narrow streets and on-street parking, so kerbs and potholes take their toll on sidewalls. Outside the town, the lanes to the surrounding villages bring their own hazards, from flints to hedge cuttings. Either way, the answer is the same: tell us where you are and we'll bring the tyre.

1. You describe the problem. Flat, slow leak, damaged sidewall or just worn tread: knowing which helps us load the right tyre.
2. The closest fitter takes it. Our network has more than 100 experienced fitters across England and Wales, and we pick the one nearest to you.
3. The work happens beside the car. A repair if it's safe, a new tyre if not. Balancing and recycling the old tyre cost nothing extra.
4. You pay when it's finished. Cash, card or bank transfer, with no hidden extras and a manufacturer's guarantee on new tyres.

• Mobile tyre fitting: new tyres for cars and small vans, in premium, mid-range and budget brands, fitted at home or at your workplace.
• Puncture repair: small holes in the middle three-quarters of the tread are usually repairable, which saves buying a whole tyre.
• Van tyres: for vans working out of Hitchin and along the A505, with commercial tyres rated for the weight they carry.
• Breakdown recovery: used when the car can't be made safe to drive at the roadside.

Our coverage takes in the whole town, including Walsworth, once a separate village to the north-east, the Purwell area beside it, and St Ippolyts on the southern edge. We regularly attend the A505, A600 and A602 as they leave Hitchin, as well as the stretch of A1(M) to the east.

The neighbouring towns are covered as well: Letchworth Garden City just up the road, Stevenage to the south-east, Baldock and Luton.

Many cars now come with a thin space-saver spare, and plenty of drivers fit one and then carry on as normal for weeks. These wheels are designed only to get you somewhere safely. Most carry a speed limit of 50mph, printed on a sticker or on the wheel itself, and they don't grip or brake like a full tyre.

If you've changed to a space-saver after a flat, keep to the limit, avoid the A1(M) if you can, and get a proper tyre fitted soon. We can bring the replacement to you and put the space-saver back in the boot, ready for next time.

While you're at it, check the space-saver's own pressure every few months. They are often set far higher than a normal tyre, and one left untouched in the boot for years may be soft just when you need it.

Pick up the phone and dial 07989 606060; someone answers at any hour. WhatsApp and the contact form work too if you'd rather type.

Please have your tyre size, which is moulded into the sidewall, plus the car's registration and an exact location. Our FAQ page answers the common questions about repairs, payment and timing.
