Mobile tyre fitters

Post by SGRG » Sat Jul 22, 2023 8:31 am

Hi all,

About to get full set of Michelin PS4s from Black Circle and tempted to try the mobile fitters for convenience. Does anyone have experience with mobile fitters? I am thinking I see no reason why they wouldn’t be able to the job just as well, assuming they have similar equipments in their mobile setup. Just curious to hear people’s experience before I place the order.

Thank you

I've used a local independent mobile fitter to buy/fit tyres on the wife's Mazda 3.
No issues whatsoever. It was also very informative chatting to him as he did the job. It was obvious he knew his stuff :thumbsup:

I did ask about any issues fitting RFT's. He said not all mobile guys have the right gear as it took a more 'robust' machine to deal with the stronger sidewall on RFT

I’ve used Smartyre in Swansea for years, absolutely superb service, I’d never consider waiting about in a garage again to be honest. :thumbsup:
