Mobile Tyre Fitting in Dorking

Why Dorking drivers call Fast Tyre

Dorking sits in a gap in the North Downs, and the driving takes its character from the hills either side. The A24 runs north as a fast dual carriageway towards Leatherhead, the A25 crosses it west to east through Westcott and on past Brockham and Betchworth, and almost everything else climbs. The Zig Zag Road up Box Hill, Ranmore Road, Coldharbour Lane out towards Leith Hill: narrow, steep, edged with flint and chalk, and thoroughly broken up by the end of every winter. Those lanes are hard on tyres, and they are also the worst possible place to try to change one, with no verge, no lighting and a blind bend somewhere close by.

That is the case for having the tyre brought to you instead. The van comes to wherever the car has stopped, whether that is a gravel drive in Westcott, the station car park at Deepdene, a track near Brockham or the northbound A24. We fit on gravel and on a slope, which matters more around Dorking than it does in most towns.

There is very little margin around Dorking for driving on a damaged tyre. The A24 between the town and Leatherhead is quick, with long stretches where stopping means a live carriageway and a thin verge, while the A25 through Westcott and out to Brockham is single carriageway with high hedges and nowhere to work safely. Turn the other way and you are on Box Hill, where the Zig Zag Road is a gradient with hairpins and a steady flow of cyclists coming up behind you. Add the pothole damage the lanes throw up every spring and the number of houses reached by an unmade drive, and coming to the vehicle is the only thing that makes sense.

Tyre services in Dorking

We fit tyres for cars, SUVs and 4x4s, which covers most of what gets driven on these lanes. Premium, mid-range and budget brands travel on the van, along with balancing equipment, TPMS kit and locking nut tooling. If the car is on gravel, on a slope or half on a verge, say so when you call so the fitter arrives set up for it. Card and contactless taken at the vehicle.

Tyres we fit in Dorking

We fit the full range at the kerb in Dorking, from everyday car tyres to 4x4 and van fitments. The size is printed on the sidewall in the form 205/55 R16 91V; read it to us, or just give us the registration.

• Car and hatchback tyres. Ordinary car fitments in budget, mid-range or premium, each wheel balanced at the kerb and the pressures checked against the door 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. Below roughly seven degrees a summer compound goes hard and stops gripping. Look for the three-peak mountain snowflake on the sidewall, which is the tested cold-weather mark.
• 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. A budget tyre fitted correctly and inflated properly is a legal, safe tyre. We will tell you where the money makes a real difference and where it does 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.

Most jobs in Dorking are done the same day, at the address where the car is already parked.
