Mobile Tyre Fitting in Ramsgate

Ramsgate is where the A299 Thanet Way ends its run from Faversham, and it meets the A256 at the Lord of the Manor junction. From there the A256 heads south past Richborough to Sandwich and Dover, and north through Westwood towards Broadstairs. So a typical journey out of town is quick and fast-moving, while trips into the centre and around the harbour slow right down on older, narrower streets.

If a tyre goes on either kind of road, we bring the fix to you. A mobile fitter arrives in a fully equipped van, works on the car where it is and leaves you ready to drive. We're available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and in most cases we aim to be there within 60 minutes, depending on where in CT11 or CT12 you are and how the roads are.

The process is short. You call or message, we confirm the tyre size and location, and the nearest member of our network of more than 100 fitters across England and Wales sets off. On arrival they'll check the damage and either repair it or fit a new tyre.

• Included free: wheel balancing and taking away the old tyre.
• Guarantee: every new tyre carries the manufacturer's own guarantee.
• Paying: card, cash or bank transfer, with a price agreed up front and no hidden fees.

What you pay depends on the size and brand of tyre and on when and where you need it. If you're not sure which tyre suits the car, the fitter can talk you through the options on the day rather than pushing the dearest one.

• Mobile tyre fitting: car tyres from budget to premium, fitted on a driveway in Newington, a street near the harbour or a car park at work.
• Puncture repair: a screw in the middle of the tread, under 6 mm, is normally repairable; damage near the shoulder or sidewall means a replacement instead.
• Van tyres: light commercial tyres for vans working out of Ramsgate and around the port, fitted without a trip off site.
• Breakdown recovery: for a car that can't be made safe at the roadside, such as one with a bent wheel on the A256.

Fitters cover the town centre and Eastcliff, Northwood, Nethercourt and Newington, plus St Lawrence, Ellington and the villages of Pegwell, Cliffsend and Manston on the western edge. The A299 and the A256 are both on our patch, as is the retail area at Westwood Cross.

Broadstairs is just up the road, and we also work in Margate, in Canterbury, and down the A256 in Sandwich and Dover.

Many newer cars come with a thin space-saver spare rather than a full-size wheel. It will get you moving again after a flat, but it isn't meant for a long drive. Most are limited to 50mph, and the car's braking and handling are different while it's fitted. Taking one all the way up the A299 and onto the M2 is asking a lot of it.

Every few months, check the spare's pressure too, as they often sit forgotten and flat. If you've already put the space-saver on, stick to low speeds and arrange a proper tyre as soon as you can. We can come to wherever you've parked up and fit a full-size replacement, then the spare goes back in the boot for next time.

The quickest way is to call 07989 606060, any hour of the day. WhatsApp and our contact form work too. Have the tyre size from the sidewall and your reg to hand, and tell us where the car is, a street name or a nearby junction is enough.
