Mobile Tyre Fitting & Emergency Roadside
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
THE SITUATION
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.
HOW WE WORK
If you are in a live lane we talk you through moving to safety before anything else.
We repair where the damage allows it and replace where it does not — never a temporary bodge.
We bring the tyre with us for common sizes so it is usually one visit.
Wheel refitted, torqued and checked before we leave.

QUESTIONS
Yes. Punctures and blowouts are routine callouts for us across Wimborne, 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.
