How Mobile Tyre Fitting Works: A Step-by-Step Guide

First-time users of mobile tyre fitting services often wonder what the process involves. The good news is that it is straightforward, fast and designed to cause as little disruption to your day as possible.

Here is a step-by-step guide to what happens when you book Glasgow Mobile Tyre Fitters, from initial contact through to the moment your new tyres are fitted and ready to drive on.

Step 1: Booking and Preparation

Call us or submit a booking request online. We will ask for your tyre size (printed on the sidewall in the format 205/55R16, for example), your vehicle make and model, your location and your preferred time.

We will confirm availability of your required tyre size, agree a price and schedule your appointment. For emergency callouts, we dispatch immediately without a formal booking window.

Step 2: The Technician Arrives

Our technician arrives in a fully equipped van carrying a wide stock of tyres, professional fitting equipment including a torque wrench, wheel balancer and TPMS tools, and all necessary safety equipment.

You don't need to do anything other than ensure there is enough space around the vehicle for the technician to work safely. A flat, level surface is preferable but not always essential.

Step 3: Fitting, Balancing and Final Checks

The technician removes the old wheel, dismounts the old tyre, mounts the new tyre on the rim, balances the wheel using the onboard balancer, checks and sets tyre pressure, and refits the wheel to the correct torque specification.

Before leaving, we check all four tyres and advise on any other issues noticed during the inspection. The whole process typically takes 20–30 minutes per tyre.
