Mobile Tyre Fitting & Emergency Roadside

Mobile Tyre Fitting & Emergency Roadside in Wimborne

The lanes north of Wimborne narrow without warning, and that changes tyre work more than it might appear. If you are stopped on a single-track section we need to move the vehicle to a passing place before anything can be done safely, because there is no room to work beside a running lane. It is worth telling us the nearest passing place or junction when you call. We assess the tyre once we are properly positioned, rather than rushing a judgement on the verge.

LOCAL ADVICE

Practical advice for Wimborne

  • If the wheel has come off the hub, do not drive on the remaining bolts to reach us. It turns a tyre job into a hub replacement.
  • On a narrow lane, a gateway is the best answer you can give us. It means the job can be done without the van in the running lane.
  • Get into a gateway if you can. On a lane this narrow a van in the running lane stops everything, so where we stand decides whether this takes ten minutes or forty.

THE SITUATION

A wheel off the hub on a lane to Canford Magna

This was not a puncture, which is why the call was urgent rather than routine. The wheel had come off the hub entirely and was lying further down the lane, and the driver was standing in a gateway with the remaining bolts exposed. We told him not to drive on the remaining bolts before we arrived, because a hub driven on that way is a hub replacement rather than a tyre change, and that is a conversation worth having before the work starts rather than after. Once we were there the tyre was intact and the alloy was undamaged, so the job was a refit rather than a purchase. We cleaned the hub face, checked for cracking, and torqued the wheel properly. The extra twenty minutes came from working in a gateway on a lane that narrow, and it was time well spent rather than time lost.

QUESTIONS

Questions about tyres & roadside in Wimborne

Can you come to me if I get a puncture in Wimborne?

Yes. Punctures and blowouts are routine callouts for us across Wimborne, at home, at work and at the roadside.

Can every puncture be repaired?

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.

How do I tell you which tyre I need in Wimborne?

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.
