Mobile Tyre Fitting in Sturminster Newton

Mobile tyre fitting at home in Sturminster Newton

In the middle of the Blackmore Vale, the nearest tyre garage can feel a long way off. Our mobile tyre fitting in Sturminster Newton saves you the trip. We fit new tyres on your drive, in the yard at work or at the roadside, usually the same day.

Covered by our Shaftesbury depot

Sturminster Newton is one of the North Dorset towns served by our Shaftesbury depot, along with Shaftesbury, Gillingham and Blandford Forum. Every van carries a tyre machine, balancer and compressor, so we don't need to take your car anywhere. We do the whole job on the spot and take the old tyre away with us.

The A357 is the main road through town, running south-east to Blandford and west towards Stalbridge. Most of the other routes in and out are B-roads and lanes, which is why mobile fitting suits people round here so well.

Rural lanes and hedge-cutting season

The lanes around Sturminster Newton are narrow and often muddy, with tight bends and high hedges. Drive out to Marnhull, Hinton St Mary, Okeford Fitzpaine, Shillingstone or Hazelbury Bryan and you'll know the sort of road we mean. In autumn and winter, when the hedges are flailed, thorny cuttings are left on the tarmac, and they're a well-known cause of slow punctures.

If a thorn or nail has gone into the central part of the tread, a puncture repair may be possible. The UK standard BS AU 159 sets out which punctures can be repaired safely. Damage to the sidewall or shoulder, or a large hole, can't be fixed safely, so we'll replace the tyre and explain why.

Farms, 4x4s and trailers

This is dairy country, and lots of local drivers rely on a 4x4, a pickup or a trailer for everyday work. We fit tyres on all of them, as well as on cars, vans, caravans and motorhomes. Choose from budget, mid-range and premium tyres to suit the vehicle and how you use it.

Cold, damp mornings in the Vale can also catch out a tired battery. If your car won't start, we can test, supply and fit a new battery at home or wherever you've stopped. To the south-east, Blandford is covered by the same depot. See our Blandford Forum page.
