Van tyres, saving you time and money.

Are you one of the many van owners who uses your van for business. Builders, plumbers, electricians, roofers, carpenters, etc. Or are you a business that has a fleet of vans.

We at Hometyre can save you time and money every time you need replacement tyres. If you take your van to a tyre depot, you lose time and money travelling there, plus the time sat there while the tyres are changed, and that's if they do your tyres immediately.

Where if you make one simple phone call to Hometyre, we will come to you wherever you are working. We will bring your choice of tyre and fit it on site, including fitting replacement rubber valves, and balancing the wheels. Our prices include Vat, and we will email you a vat receipt upon completion of the job.

We can also carry out a wheel alignment on site using our Supertracker laser equipment.

I already change tyres for a number of companies, who like the fact that we will come to them at a place and time to suit their schedule.

Last week I was called out to the Ashington area, to a company called Paul Simon Marquees, they provide marquees for weddings and parties across the South. At this time of year they are very busy and need to keep their fleet of vans roadworthy. Paul called us out as two of the vans had low tread, and a third had a puncture. He wanted us to come to him at 5pm while at his base, to replace the tyres while his crew were loading the vans ready for an early start the next morning.

I arrived at the site, and soon had the vans jacked up, and the tyres, changed. The punctured tyre turned out to only have 2.5mm of tread remaining, so it was not worth repairing, especially with the mileage Paul is doing at the moment. When coming to repair a tyre we always bring a replacement tyre, just in case it is needed. In this case I was able to fit the new tyre, and get his vans ready for the road.

As part of our service we also check all the other tyres and give the customer a tyre report, so they know the condition of each tyre (Including the spare). In checking one of Pauls other vans I found a cut in the sidewall of one tyre, that had not been seen, it was through to the cords and was dangerous. Unfortunately I didn't have another additional tyre, so I put the spare on for him. I then took the damaged tyre away with me, ordered another tyre and fitted it. I then returned the wheel with tyre to Pauls storage site the next day.

Should you need tyres for your vans, call us at Hometyre to see what we can do for you.
