Mobile Tyre Fitting & Emergency Roadside
Tyre damage across Dorset usually arrives via the road surface rather than the tread. The A-roads throw up gravel and debris, and the village lanes add kerbs, hedges and the occasional sunken drain. If a tyre has been run at low pressure for a while, sidewall damage often follows the impact rather than causing it. We look at the whole tyre and the wheel, not just the hole, so you are not paying to have a compromised tyre refitted.
THE SITUATION
The vehicle was in a gateway on one of the lanes out past the last village, which on a single-track road is the only place a van can stand. The tyre had gone on the inside edge and was losing air faster than it could be topped up, and when we looked at it there was cord showing through the sidewall. That is the version of a puncture that is never a repair, whatever the driver may have been told at a previous garage. We explained that plainly, fitted a replacement, and balanced the wheel. We also checked the other three, because a tyre that has gone like this usually means pressures elsewhere were low enough to let a rim run, and there was a slow leak in one of them. That leak is the reason a driver ends up calling us twice; finding it while we were already at the vehicle is the difference.
HOW WE WORK
Give us your location, your registration or tyre size, and what has happened.
We tell you what we can do, whether we can complete it there, and the price before we set off.
Our van carries tyres and fitting equipment for common sizes.
The tyre is repaired or replaced, refitted and torqued, and you are ready to continue.
LOCAL ADVICE
QUESTIONS
Yes. Punctures and blowouts are routine callouts for us across Dorset, at home, at work and at the roadside.
No. Damage close to the shoulder or on the sidewall is generally not safely repairable, and a run-flat that has been driven on can be beyond repair too. We will tell you which case yours is.
Send your registration and we will confirm the correct size from the vehicle data, or read the size printed on your sidewall — for example 205/55 R16.
