Title: Mobile tyre fitters
Post by: 4D on Monday, December 3, 2012, 11:18:09
Has anyone used a mobile tyre fitter before? I was wondering if they tend to work out of hours, I don't have time in the week to get to a depot, most of which shut by 5.30. Event tyres look pretty good and reasonable.

I've used etyres before... they'll do it at work for you and were competetively priced last time i checked.

Yes thanks.

ETyres are quite expensive as are blackcircles.

What you should have done is go to a tyre fitter yesterday while your Mrs was shopping.

The whole point of a mobile tyre fitter is that they come to you. Most people can't make it to a depot due to work, hence why they will come to your work...

I found etyres brilliant and cheaper than my local kwik fit/ Tyre co

Exactly. Plus, I hate sitting around in a tyre depot waiting room. I still don't know if these mobile fitters work evenings?

I have used Event Tyres 2 or 3 times and they are very good. I think they only work up to about 5:30 or 6 but will fit your tyres any where at work or at home and give you a 2 hour time slot.You can book for a Saturday morning though.

Book a time at Kwikfit. I was in there the other Sunday afternoon, and it seemed that they were taking bookings. However, if you need a tyre fitter I guess it's immediacy that you seek.

Apparently garages and tyre fitters work weekends too.

I've used E-tyres and they did the job fine, the first time they were cheaper than elsewhere, second time comparable but they did it at work.

Last couple of times I've gone to Halfords Auto Centre. Priced the same as elsewhere (or cheaper with a discount code). Returned to them because the first time they fitted tyres I picked up a nail within 2 weeks. They repaired it free of charge for me.

Had mine replaced a couple of months back by Save on Tyres.  Very nice chaps and town fans too.  Can often be seen in the DRS.
