Getting your new tyres ordered, paid for and fitted is no longer the inconvenience that it used to be when you would have to take your car to the garage’s premises and wait for a minimum of a couple of hours while your new tyres were fitted, aligned and balanced.
Instead, today there is mobile tyre fitting in which the fitting service comes to you, so you can get on with your day, while your tyres are changed in your work’s car park or on your driveway at home. But mobile tyre fitting is not only for planned tyre changes – it is also a wonderful emergency service, coming to find you, wherever you might have broken down, and bringing along with it everything you might need.
The well-equipped van can carry not only the correct tyres to replace your faulty ones, but also years of mechanical experience, and a surprisingly comprehensive array of equipment that will help your tyre fitter get you back on the road in great shape, no matter where in the UK you are, from Devon in the South, to Fife, the beautiful little peninsula that lies to the east of Edinburgh, in Scotland.
Let’s have a look at mobile tyre fitting as an emergency service.
How Long Will an Emergency Mobile Tyre Fitter Take?
Obviously, when a mobile tyre fitter receives your call for help, even if he or she springs into immediate action (which is not guaranteed if they are working on another task), it can take them a couple of hours or more to get to you – even longer if you are way off the beaten track in Fife or the Highlands, for example.
However, when you make the call, they will almost always be able to let you know exactly how long they will be, so you can take a nap, go for a stroll (only if it is safe for you and your vehicle to do so!), or otherwise manage your time while you wait for them to reach you. Once they have arrived, however, the mobile tyre fitting will take as long as a regular, scheduled tyre fitting – up to half-an-hour per tyre.
What Can an Emergency Tyre Fitter Do?
But an emergency tyre fitter can do so much more than simply get you on the road for long enough to reach a ‘proper’ garage – mobile tyre fittings vans are proper garages, especially when it comes to tyres! Not only can your emergency fitter get you back on the road, they can (supplies allow) get you back on the road with brand new tyres that are aligned and balanced, so that you don’t have to worry any more about your tyres at all.
There is nothing that a bricks and mortar mechanic can do that a mobile tyre fitter cannot – those little vans are packed to the gunnels with all sorts of gadgets and computerised equipment that can help your mechanic access your tyres, assess them and ensure that, when they are finished, you are back on the road in better condition than before, ready to enjoy your travels.
If you are heading to Fife; you can book your appointment for mobile tyre fitting both as a scheduled service and as an emergency response – from a reliable tyre fitter.
How Much Does Emergency Mobile Tyre Fitting Cost?
In general, mobile tyre fitting costs the same as having your tyres fitted in a physical garage. Depending on where you are, how long it will take for the mobile tyre fitter to reach you and what services you need exactly, there may be extra charges for these factors. But the cost of the tyre fitting will be standard, and the service will be exactly as though you had regularly scheduled your tyre change, making it a bargain at the price.
