Mobile tyre fitting in Towcester
NN12, around seventy minutes. Rural lanes, the A43, and a seasonal spike whenever there is something on at the circuit.
What is my size?
Send the size or the registration and we come back with the fitted price.
No obligation. We price it before anything is touched.
Hedge cutting season is puncture season
Every year from late summer the rural calls go up sharply, and it is almost always thorn or flint from freshly cut hedges. They are small, slow punctures rather than dramatic failures, and people often drive on them for a week without noticing.
Which is the problem. A slow puncture run at low pressure damages the sidewall from the inside, and a tyre that could have been a £35 repair on Monday is a replacement by Friday.
Event weekends need booking ahead
When there is racing on, the A43 stops working and so do our arrival times. We do not stop covering Towcester, but a job that takes seventy minutes on a normal Tuesday can take twice that on a race Saturday.
We will tell you honestly when you ring. If the realistic answer is Monday morning, that is what you will hear.
Rural driveways, urban streets
The villages are easy — space, a flat surface and no traffic. The town centre is the opposite: narrow, parked up on both sides, and sometimes there is simply nowhere to put a van safely.
If that is your situation, tell us when you book. Often the answer is to move the vehicle a hundred yards to a wider street, which takes two minutes and saves an aborted visit.
Where our Towcester cars come from
Towcester itself. Older housing, narrow streets, plenty of on-street work.
Event traffic and, in season, a lot of it.
Villages off the A5. Rural miles and good driveways.
The main route in. Also where the higher-speed damage comes from.
North towards Northampton. Commuter belt, mostly car work.
Hedge cuttings and flints. A genuine and seasonal cause of punctures.
Towcester questions
How long from Towcester?
Around seventy minutes normally. On an event weekend it can be considerably longer and we will say so when you ring.
I keep getting slow punctures.
Thorn and flint, most likely, especially after hedge cutting. Get it looked at early — a slow puncture driven on for a week usually becomes a replacement rather than a repair.
Can you come during a race weekend?
Yes, but book ahead and expect longer. The A43 is the constraint, not us.
There is nowhere to park a van on my street.
Tell us when you book. Moving the vehicle a hundred yards to a wider road is usually all it takes and it saves an aborted visit.
Do you cover the farms?
Yes. Tell us the fitment when you book, because agricultural and trailer sizes are not always on the van as standard.
Is the price higher this far out?
No. The fitted price is the same across the whole covered area.
Six towns, one van
Flat now?
Ring it in.
Tell us the size and the postcode. We will give you the fitted price on the phone and a window, and the van does the rest.
