Mobile Tyre Fitting in Rochester

Rochester stands at the lowest crossing of the River Medway, with Strood on the opposite bank, and that bridge carries the A2 through the heart of the Medway Towns. To the west the M2 begins at junction 1 near Three Crutches, then runs south of the city on its way east. The A228 comes through Frindsbury and Strood, the A289 northern bypass starts at Frindsbury and links through to the Medway Tunnel, and the A229 sets off from Rochester towards Maidstone.

Many local journeys involve the bridge, a hill or a short hop onto the M2, so a damaged tyre is never far from a busy road. Wherever it happens, a mobile fitter can come to you instead. We work through the night as well as the day, and aim to reach most callers within 60 minutes, depending on traffic over the river.

Our fitters bring the tyre and the tools, so you can stay at home, at work or with the car while the job gets done.

1. Call with the details. Where the car is, what has happened, and the tyre size from the sidewall if you can see it.
2. A fitter nearby takes the job. We have 100+ mobile fitters across England and Wales, with plenty of experience between them.
3. The tyre is dealt with on the spot. Free balancing, free disposal of the old tyre, and the manufacturer's guarantee on anything new.

Settle up afterwards by card, cash or bank transfer. No hidden fees are added.

It also saves wear on the wheel. Driving even a short distance on a fully flat tyre can crush the sidewall and mark the rim, turning a simple repair into a replacement, so staying put and calling us is usually the cheaper choice.

• Mobile tyre fitting: premium, mid-range and budget tyres fitted in Borstal, Strood or the city centre, at the kerb or on a drive.
• Puncture repair: small, central tread punctures are repaired when it is safe to do so; otherwise we fit a replacement.
• Van tyres: a good fit for firms on Medway City Estate and tradespeople working across the Medway Towns.
• Breakdown recovery: for a car that can't be safely repaired where it stopped, such as on the bridge approaches or the M2.

Our fitters work across Rochester and Borstal on the east bank, and Strood, Frindsbury and Wainscott on the west. We also reach Upnor and Chattenden towards the Hoo Peninsula, and Medway City Estate. Main roads include the A2, A228, A229 and A289, plus the M2 from junction 1.

Next door we cover Chatham and Gillingham, and to the west Gravesend.

With the M2 heading for the coast and the Channel ports, plenty of Medway drivers tow a caravan, boat or trailer a few times a year. Those tyres often have lots of tread left yet are dangerously old, because they spend most of their life parked. Rubber hardens and cracks with age, and an old tyre can fail under load at motorway speed even if it looks fine.

Every tyre has a four-digit date code on the sidewall after the letters DOT: the first two digits are the week and the last two the year it was made, so 2219 means week 22 of 2019. Many caravan and trailer guides suggest replacing tyres at around five to seven years old regardless of tread. Check for cracking between the tread blocks too, and set the pressures to the figure for the load you are carrying.

Ring us any time on 07989 606060, or send a message by WhatsApp or the contact form. Tell us the tyre size, the registration and which side of the river you are on, and we will get a fitter moving.
