What we do in Southampton
New tyres supplied and fitted
On your driveway in Bitterne or Shirley, in the office car park at Adanac Park or Southampton Science Park, or beside the car at West Quay. Budget, mid-range and premium brands for cars, vans and 4x4s.
Puncture repairs
To British Standard BS AU 159 for the screws, nails and lorry debris picked up on the M27, Millbrook Road and the dock approaches.
24-hour emergency call-outs
For cruise passengers with a flat before boarding, drivers stuck on the M27 between junctions 1 and 8, and anyone stranded in Southampton at night with no usable spare.
Wheel balancing and TPMS sensor resets
With every tyre, so the car runs smoothly at motorway speed on the M3 and M27 and the pressure warning light stays off.
Locking wheel nut removal
When the key is lost or rounded off, with a standard nut fitted in its place so the wheel comes off easily next time.
Recovery when a tyre cannot be fitted
On the spot, for example a wheel cracked on a kerb in Portswood or by a pothole on The Avenue. Our car towing and recovery service covers Southampton, the M27 and the M3.
Where we fit tyres in Southampton
New tyres fitted and punctures repaired at your home, workplace or roadside anywhere in Southampton, from Ocean Village and the city centre to Shirley, Portswood, Bitterne and Sholing, and out to Eastleigh, Totton and Hedge End. 24-hour emergency call-outs and same-day appointments.

Hedge End, Hamble, Eastleigh and Chandler's Ford
SO40, SO45 and SO51
Totton, Hythe and Romsey
Southampton is a big, spread-out city with a lot of terraced streets, student lets and resident parking zones, which is exactly where mobile fitting earns its keep: we pull up beside the car, fit the tyre in the road and are gone in around half an hour. We cover the city centre, Ocean Village, St Mary's and Bevois Valley (SO14), Shirley, Freemantle and Millbrook (SO15), Bassett, Lordshill, Redbridge and Nursling (SO16), Portswood, Highfield and Swaythling (SO17), Bitterne, Townhill Park and West End (SO18), and Sholing, Woolston, Thornhill and Weston (SO19).
Beyond the city we fit regularly in Eastleigh and Chandler's Ford, Hedge End, Botley and Bursledon, Hamble and Netley, Totton, Marchwood and Hythe on the western shore, and Romsey and North Baddesley up the A3057. If you are not sure whether we reach you, contact us or call and we will tell you straight away.
Flat tyre on the way to the cruise terminal or the ferry?
Southampton is the busiest cruise port in the country, with sailings from the Ocean, City, Mayflower, QEII and Horizon terminals, and the Red Funnel car ferry to the Isle of Wight leaves from Town Quay. A puncture found at six in the morning on the M271 or on a dock gate approach with a boarding time to make is a call we know well. Tell us your sailing time when you ring and we will tell you honestly whether a tyre can be fitted before you need to be at the terminal. We can meet you on the roads and car parks around the Western and Eastern Docks; inside the dock gates the port's own traffic rules apply.
We also look after commuters and fleets along the M27 between junctions 1 and 8, the M271 to the docks, the M3 as it comes down into the city, and the A33, A35 and A3024 through town. If the tyre has shredded or the wheel is damaged, a flatbed from our recovery service can take the car to a garage of your choice.
Car towing and recovery in SouthamptonWhy tyres fail in Southampton
Kerb damage on terraced streets
Parking nose to tail in Portswood, Shirley, Freemantle and Inner Avenue means plenty of kerb strikes, especially in the student streets around Highfield. A scuffed sidewall with a bulge cannot be repaired and needs a new tyre before it lets go at speed on the M27.
Potholes after a wet winter
Burgess Road, Portswood Road, Hill Lane, Bitterne Road West and the back streets off Shirley High Street break up every winter. A pothole can split the inner sidewall where you cannot see it, so if the car pulls or the wheel vibrates, have it checked.
Debris on the M27 and the dock roads
Screws, bolts and shed lorry tread from port and motorway traffic litter the M27, the M271 and Millbrook Road. Most are in the tread and can be repaired; we check the whole tyre first and tell you if it is safe.
Salt air on the waterfront
Cars kept near Ocean Village, Weston Shore, Hamble and the Hythe side of Southampton Water suffer corroded alloy rims, which cause slow leaks around the bead. We clean and seal the rim when we refit, which often cures a tyre that keeps going down.
How a call-out works
1
Call or WhatsApp with your tyre size and your postcode. The size is printed on the sidewall, for example 205/55 R16. If you cannot read it, send a photo of the sidewall and your registration and we will look it up.
2
We quote a fixed price that includes the tyre, fitting, balancing, a new valve, disposal of the old tyre and VAT, then agree a time. For emergencies in Southampton we aim for 30 to 60 minutes; booked jobs are usually same day or next day.
3
The fitter arrives in a fully equipped van, fits and balances the tyre next to the car, checks the pressures on the other three and takes the old tyre away for recycling through a licensed waste carrier.
Questions people in Southampton ask
How fast can you get to me in Southampton?
For emergency call-outs in the city, Eastleigh, Hedge End and Totton we aim for 30 to 60 minutes, traffic on the M27 and the Redbridge flyover permitting. Booked fittings are usually same day or next day at a time you choose. We give you an honest arrival time when you call.
I have a cruise booked. Can you fit a tyre before I board?
Often, yes. Call as soon as you find the problem and tell us your terminal and boarding time. We can meet you on the approach roads, in the long-stay car parks or at your hotel in town. If we cannot get to you in time we will say so, and we can still fit the tyre while the car is parked up for the cruise if that helps.
Can you reach me on the M27 or the M3 near Southampton?
Yes, 24 hours a day. If you are on a live carriageway, get everyone out of the car and behind the barrier, then call us. On the hard shoulder we fit the tyre if it is safe to do so; where there is no hard shoulder, or the traffic is too heavy, we recover the car to a safer spot first and fit it there.
Do you cover Eastleigh, Hedge End and the villages?
Yes. Eastleigh, Chandler's Ford, Hedge End, Botley, Bursledon, Hamble, Netley, Totton, Marchwood, Hythe, Romsey and North Baddesley are all regular trips for us, and so are the villages up the Test and Itchen valleys.
Can you fit tyres at my workplace in Southampton?
Yes. We regularly fit in car parks at Adanac Park and Southampton Science Park, on the Nursling and Chickenhall Lane industrial estates, at the hospital and the universities, and at Hedge End retail park. Ask us about fleet arrangements if you run several vehicles.
Do you repair punctures or only fit new tyres?
Both. A puncture in the central tread area is repaired to BS AU 159 for a flat fee. Damage to the sidewall, a tyre driven on while flat, or a bulge from a kerb strike cannot be repaired safely, and we will tell you so before we start.
