Ever wondered what happens when a mobile tyre fitter turns up? We walk you through the full process — from the equipment carried to the fitting, balancing and final checks.
If you have never used a mobile tyre fitting service before, it is natural to wonder exactly how the process works and whether the results are comparable to a traditional garage visit. In short, the quality is identical — and the convenience is considerably better.
1Booking and Preparation
You contact the mobile tyre service with your vehicle registration, the tyre size required, and your preferred location and appointment time. The fitter sources the correct tyre from stock, loads the fitting and balancing equipment into the van, and travels to your location — often able to attend same-day.
2The Fitting Process
On arrival, the fitter jacks up the vehicle and removes the wheel. The old tyre is broken off the rim using a portable tyre changer, the new tyre is mounted, and the assembly is inflated to the correct pressure. The wheel is then placed on the portable balancer for precision balancing.
3Balancing and Final Checks
The computerised portable balancer identifies heavy spots and the fitter adds counterbalance weights to achieve smooth rotation. The wheel is then refitted to the vehicle using a torque wrench to the manufacturer's specification. TPMS sensors are checked and the remaining tyres are inspected.
4Old Tyre Disposal
A professional mobile tyre fitter will take your old tyres away for responsible disposal. Tyre disposal is a regulated activity — tyres cannot be sent to landfill and must be processed by a licensed facility. Bradford Mobile Tyres handles this on your behalf as a standard part of the service.
