Puncture repairs in Gateshead

Our Gateshead based mobile tyre workshops carry out a 9 stage repair for a puncture. This process is very safe and  maintains the stated speed rating for your tyre. If your puncture can be safely repaired we’ll do it, if it can’t be repaired we’ll explain why. We’re all drivers as well and appreciate how frustrating it can be to be told that a nearly new tyre can’t be repaired. Some of the reasons are:

• The tyre has been driven on deflated. This weakens the tyre wall and can lead to catastrophic failure. There will usually be debris inside the tyre which we’ll show you.
• The puncture is too near the side of the tyre. This means that as the tyre flexes as you drive the repair will also flex, this can obviously lead to escape of air.
• The puncture is at too severe an angle and again this means that there will be too much movement which could lead to air loss.

But rest assured, if it can be repaired we will repair it.

Locking wheel nut removal in Gateshead

Locking wheel nuts are the bane of our Gateshead tyre fitter! Over tightened nuts, worn keys and lost keys crop up frequently. Our mobileworkshops are equipped to remove most locking wheel nuts so damaging or losing your key won’t prevent us from changing your tyres. However in most cases it will mean that the nut can’t be reused and new ones will need to be obtained. If you lose or damage your key its best to get the nuts removed immediately – before you get a puncture on the Motorway at 11pm! In the snow!

Laser wheel alignment in Gateshead

There’s not much point putting new tyres on our car in Gateshead if your alignment or tracking is off. Incorrectly aligned wheels will increase the wear on your tyres, steering system and fuel economy. We offer a free check of your alignment and have all the data to correctly align your wheels. You benefit by getting more miles from your tyres, improved fuel economy and a car that doesn’t always try to steer itself!

Leaking/damaged alloy wheels in Gateshead?

If you constantly have to top up your tyre pressure and if your car is over 3-4 years old then you may have corrosion on the inside of your wheel. This prevents the tyre from sealing properly. It’s easily fixed and can save you money in the long run as you’re less likely to run on a flat tyre driving round Gateshead

Tyron Bands and Tyre pressure monitoring in Gateshead

If live in Gateshead and you tow a caravan or drive a motor home or horsebox then you’ll probably also know someone who has had the terrifying experience of a flat tyre separating from the wheel, sometimes with disastrous results.

The Tyron Band will prevent the tyre from separating and give you valuable time to regain control and stop in a place of safety. They’re a great device that offers real safety benefits and peace of mind. Our mobile tyre workshops are equipped to fit Tyron bands easily and quickly.

Where can I have my tyres replaced in Gateshead?

We cover all of Newcastle, Gateshead and Northumberland, So at work, home or play – it’s your choice and we’ll even come at a time and day that suits you – not us.

Perhaps a recent example of how flexible we are will show what we mean?

“Having heard people recommend Dave and his son's service I asked Dave to come and do a simple, so I thought, tyre change on two back tyres. However, it seems the garage had massively overtightened the nuts and damaged the locking wheel nut. Hometyre worked for three hours to remedy what was essentially someone else's mistake. They never stopped, never gave up and succeeded in fixing the problem whilst still smiling. I am astonished at the endeavour and commitment shown where others would have given up and I simply cannot commend them highly enough for simply magnificent service. I wouldn't look anywhere else for replacement tyres. 
First class, sensational, magnificent, brilliant.” Andrew Charlton, Gateshead
