Mobile tyre fitting vs going to a garage: which is right for you?

Mobile tyre fitting has grown fast in the UK. Here's a straightforward breakdown of when it wins.

Choose mobile when…

• You've had a puncture and can't safely drive to a garage
• You're at home, at work, or parked somewhere accessible
• Time is more valuable than the £10–20 mobile premium
• You want live pricing before you book (no garage upsells)

Choose a garage when…

• You need alignment, balancing or complex wheel work
• You're already there for other maintenance
• Your tyres are exotic sizes not commonly carried on vans

The Hard Shoulder difference

Our mobile tyre fitting matches you to the nearest verified fitter, shows the price up front, and lets you pay in-app. If the fitter can't complete the job, we escalate to a recovery truck automatically.
