A customer recently phoned us up, as they needed their locking wheel nuts removing from their car. But how does this have anything to do with putting their own tyres on? Well, prior to us coming out, they booked in with a rival company to supply...
I was called out to a previous customer with a Ford Fiesta who had recently had an MOT, it had called up the NSR tyre as having a split which they had marked up as an advisory. The customer asked us to fit a Michelin to match the other tyres. I...
Recently we went out to a customer who had experience a blowout on the motorway. Luckily they came to a safe stop, phoned the AA and got towed back to their house. Instead of going through the AA, they called us out to replace the tyre as we had...
The Lamborghini Urus may look as tough as nails, but sadly it can't withstand them! As the tyres are quite large (285 35 R23!) we would need to order one in from Pirelli directly. Luckily, the customer was not it a particular rush but wanted us...
A customer with a Vauxhall Astra needed to change the brake pads on the car he had recently bought. He found that the locking wheelnut removal key was missing. He phoned the previous owner who claimed he had never used it, so he couldn't help....
Another busy day at the FoS. Many people and cars coming through the tent along with a few celebrity drivers!
Being a car fanatic, I've often seen this being thrown around the media but seeing it in person is just incredibly. That's...
Goodwood Festival of Speed - Day 4 Supra Galore Part 1
Oh, is that a new Supra I see before my eyes? Technically yes, but, it's had it's straight-six BMW heart swapped out and replaced by the (personal taste alarm) much more juicy...
Goodwood Festival of Speed - Day 3
Kicking off the third day of the FoS, we were introduced to Vaughn Hitting JR who drives this mean (and ear popingly loud) 5.0 V8 Ford Mustang. With over 900BHP on tap, this...
The second day at the Goodwood Fesitval of speed started with a bang (more of a glorious scream really). The new Lamborghini for Mad Mike was introduced, which houses a crazy 5.2 litre V10 pushing over 800BHP. Shortly after, this was followed by...
The Festival of speed has started with a bang with the like of Ford, Aston Martin and BAC showing off their latest creations. Hometyre Sussex will be on site to assist both the Redbull and Goodwood showcase teams by fitting tyres to the drift and...
One of my regular customers called to say that his wife's Evoque needed 4 new tyres. He wanted Continental UHP tyres as these were what was originally fitted to the vehicle. As part of the tyre change I recommended that he have the TPMS sensor...
One of our previous customers had called in to say that whilst his son was driving down to visit from Norfolk he felt a terrible vibration coming through the steering wheel when getting to speeds of around 70 MPH. He wasn't sure if it was a...
Today I was called out to this Romahome, as the owner had two problems.
1. The front nearside tyre kept going down. they had taken it to a tyre depot who said it was a valve leaking and they fitted a new valve, but it still went down...
The average day working for Hometyre is never the same and can
vary greatly. Each day can introduce us to a range of new people, vehicles and
beautiful locations. Today, for example, had a...
We were called out to replace a tyre on a Nissan Qashqai after the owner hit a kerb and burst the side of the tyre. When we arrived at the location, we asked for the locking wheelnut removal 'tool'. The owner was positive it was in the glovebox...
We had a call from a customer who wanted a locking wheelnut removed from his car, he sent us a photo of the locknut (see below). He explained that he had attempted to remove the locknut himself but had failed.

A great number of new customers tell me that they wish they had tried mobile tyre fitting years ago. They had been put off by thinking that because we come to them and give a one to one service, the price must be high.
This is wrong.......
Hometyre Sussex was called out to a Mini Cooper in Findon, the owner had to abandon the car road side as one tyre was flat. The car was fitted with runflat tyres, but a local tyre dealer had fitted the wrong tyre to one wheel. Instead of a...
One of today's jobs was to carry out a puncture repair on a Nissan Juke, the tyre had deflated just as the customer reached home, luckily this meant the tyre hadn't been driven while flat (A check on the inside confirmed...
