Hey all, long time lurker, first time poster so go easy on me.

Basically I’m kind of in a situation. I found out last night that one of my tyres is completely shot… like the tread is way below what it should be, and I’ve been putting off sorting it for longer than I probably should have. My MOT is coming up in about three weeks as well, so I really need to get it dealt with before then.

The problem is I work shifts, and getting to a garage during opening hours is an absolute nightmare. My days off are random and half the time I’m either sleeping in or I have the kids with me and dragging them to sit in a garage waiting room is not exactly fun for anyone.

A mate of mine mentioned mobile tyre fitting and I’ve been doing a bit of digging online. I found a company that seems to do Mobile Tyre Fitting Newport, and they look decent enough from what I can see but honestly I always get a bit nervous booking something I haven’t used before.

So I guess my main questions are these. Has anyone in Newport actually used a mobile tyre fitter, and was the whole process as simple as it looks? I’m imagining you just book online, tell them where you are and they show up with the right tyre and crack on but is that genuinely how it works, or is there a lot more back and forth involved than it seems?

Also, does anyone know if these services come out to you pretty quickly, or is there usually a wait of a few days? Ideally I’d want someone out within the next day or two if possible.

And the big one really are the tyres they fit actually decent quality, or is it more like you get whatever cheap brand they’ve got in the van? I don’t need premium tyres, but I also don’t want something that’s going to let me down again in two months.

Any Newport locals who have gone down the mobile tyre fitting route, i’d love to hear how it went, like what actually happened. It saves me going in blind, and you know. Thanks in advance.
