Mobile Tyre Fitting in Northwood

Why Northwood drivers call Fast Tyre

Northwood is one of the greener corners of outer London, with Moor Park and the Colne valley on one side and the streets running up towards Northwood Hills on the other. It is comfortable to live in and awkward to break down in, because much of it is on a slope and almost all of it is close-parked.

The A404 is the main artery, carrying traffic between Harrow and Rickmansworth at a decent speed, and Ducks Hill Road runs out through the woods with no lighting and no pavement. Between the two, there are plenty of places to pick up a puncture where you would not want to be kneeling beside the car.

Whatever the hour, we come to the car. The replacement tyres and the balancer are on the van, and we fit on your drive, at your workplace, in the station car park or on the side road where you have stopped. Typical arrival across Northwood is 30 to 60 minutes.

Northwood's evening calls tend to come from the station car parks, where commuters return to a tyre that went down during the day, and from the hill roads, where a sloping driveway makes jacking a car awkward. In both cases the advice is the same: do not pump the tyre up and drive on it. Leave it where it is, tell us the road and how steep the drive is, and we bring the chocks and boards to do the job safely.

Tyre services in Northwood

Northwood fits are mostly on driveways and quiet residential roads, many of them on a slope, so we chock the wheels before lifting and only jack on firm ground. The van carries tyres for cars, SUVs, 4x4s and vans, including run-flats, every fit is balanced with the pressures set before we leave, and the old tyre goes with us. Card or contactless at the car.

Tyres we fit in Northwood

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. The everyday fitment, in budget, mid-range and premium. We balance every wheel on site and set the pressures before we leave.
• 4x4, SUV and crossover tyres. A 4x4 or SUV carries more weight, so the load index matters as much as the size. We match both rather than fitting on dimensions alone.
• 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. Common on BMW and MINI. A run-flat that has been driven on almost always needs replacing rather than repairing, and it should be matched across the axle.
• Performance and premium brands. Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli and Goodyear. The tyre label grades wet braking from A downwards, and the gap between an A and an E is measured in car lengths.
• Budget and mid-range tyres. There is nothing wrong with a budget tyre fitted properly. We will tell you honestly which axle is worth spending on rather than selling you four premiums.
• Van and light commercial. Light commercial fitments with the correct C rating and load index, because a car tyre on a working van is an insurance question as well as a safety one.

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