Mobile Tyre Fitting in Catford

Why Catford drivers call Fast Tyre

Catford is where the South Circular meets the A21. The A205 crosses the town centre as Catford Road and Brownhill Road, the A21 runs north to south as Rushey Green and then Bromley Road towards Bellingham and Southend, and the A212 heads off up Catford Hill towards Sydenham. The giant cat above the shopping centre marks the middle, with Catford and Catford Bridge stations a short walk apart and the old stadium site beside the railway now housing. Around the centre the streets are Victorian and interwar homes, with the large Bellingham estate to the south.

We come to the car. A driveway in Bellingham, a bay near the Broadway, a staff car park on Rushey Green or a side street off Brownhill Road: everything needed travels in the van, and the work happens there. Every hour of every day, the usual wait is 30 to 60 minutes, followed by 20 to 30 minutes of fitting.

Two of south London's busiest roads cross in the middle of Catford, and at peak the junction is a slow, crowded tangle of buses, through traffic and people crossing to the shops. The South Circular queues in both directions and has few places to pull over, and the A21 is no quieter heading for Lewisham or Bromley. Driving a damaged tyre through that to reach a garage takes time the tyre does not have. Stopping in the first side street and ringing us is quicker and saves the wheel.

Tyre services in Catford

Car, SUV, 4x4 or van, the tyre comes from a range running from budget to premium, and a customer-supplied tyre bought online can be fitted on the same visit. In the streets around the town centre, give us the side road the car is in rather than just the main road, because Rushey Green and the South Circular are long and the van needs to know which junction to turn at.

Tyres we fit in Catford

Whatever is on the car now, we carry the common fitments on the van and can order anything we do not. Read the size off the sidewall, something like 205/55 R16 91V, or give us the registration and we will match it.

• Car and hatchback tyres. Standard car and hatchback sizes across all three price tiers, balanced on site with the pressures set to the manufacturer plate.
• 4x4, SUV and crossover tyres. SUV and 4x4 fitments matched on load index and speed rating, not just the size, because the wrong rating on a heavy car is a safety issue.
• Winter and all-season tyres. All-season and winter fitments carrying the three-peak mountain snowflake mark, which means the compound has been tested to stay soft in the cold rather than just looking chunky.
• Run-flat tyres. We stock and fit run-flats. If one has been driven on deflated it needs replacing, not patching, and the pair on that axle should match.
• Performance and premium brands. The premium range, Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli and Goodyear, for cars where wet braking and tread life justify the difference.
• Budget and mid-range tyres. Budget and mid-range options are legal and safe when fitted and inflated correctly. We will say plainly when the premium is worth it and when it is not.
• Van and light commercial. Van and light commercial sizes with the right load rating. We do not fit a car-rated tyre to a van that carries weight.

We fit at your home, your workplace or the roadside in Catford, usually the same day you call.
