What we do in Brighton
New tyres supplied and fitted
On your street in Hanover or Kemptown, in the office car park at Brighton Marina or the Amex Stadium, or on your driveway in Hove. Budget, mid-range and premium brands for cars, vans and 4x4s.
Puncture repairs
To British Standard BS AU 159 for the screws, nails and debris picked up on the A23, the A27 bypass and Lewes Road.
24-hour emergency call-outs
For flat tyres on the A23 at Patcham, on the A27 between Devil's Dyke and Falmer, and for anyone stranded on the seafront at night with no usable spare.
Wheel balancing and TPMS sensor resets
With every tyre, so the car is steady on the A23 up to the M23 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 on Elm Grove or by a pothole on Ditchling Road. Our car towing and recovery service covers Brighton, Hove and the whole A23 and A27 corridor.
Where we fit tyres in Brighton
New tyres fitted and punctures repaired at your home, workplace or roadside anywhere in Brighton and Hove, from the seafront and the Lanes to Hanover, Preston Park, Patcham, Moulsecoomb and Rottingdean, and along the coast to Portslade, Shoreham and Peacehaven. 24-hour emergency call-outs and same-day appointments.

Hove, Portslade and Southwick
BN9 and BN10
Newhaven, Peacehaven and Telscombe
Brighton and Hove is steep, dense and short of parking, with resident permit zones across most of the city, so bringing the tyre to the car makes far more sense than limping to a tyre centre on a flat. We cover the city centre, the Lanes, North Laine and the seafront, Hanover, Queen's Park and Kemptown, Preston Park, Withdean, Patcham and Hollingbury (BN1), Moulsecoomb, Bevendean, Whitehawk, Woodingdean, the Marina, Rottingdean and Saltdean (BN2), and the whole of Hove from Brunswick to Hangleton (BN3).
Along the coast we fit regularly in Portslade and Southwick, Shoreham-by-Sea and Lancing to the west, and Peacehaven, Newhaven and Seaford to the east, plus Falmer, Lewes and the villages up the A23 and A27. If you are not sure whether we reach you, contact us or call and we will tell you straight away.
Puncture on the A23 or the A27 around Brighton?
The A23 brings most of Brighton's traffic down from the M23 and London, and the A27 bypass carries everything else east to Lewes and west to Worthing. A flat tyre on the Patcham stretch, the Devil's Dyke slip road or at the Falmer interchange on a match day is one of the most common calls we get. Tell us where you have stopped and whether you are on a live carriageway or in a lay-by, and we will tell you honestly how long we will be. We can meet you on the approach roads, in the Marina car parks, at the Amex or at any of the seafront car parks.
We also look after commuters using Brighton and Hove stations, visitors parked on Madeira Drive and Kingsway, and fleets based at Shoreham Port, Hove and the Moulsecoomb and Hollingbury industrial estates. 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 BrightonWhy tyres fail in Brighton
Steep hills and kerb strikes
Elm Grove, Southover Street, Albion Hill and the Hanover slopes mean tight parking on steep, narrow streets, and the kerbs take a toll on sidewalls. A scuffed sidewall with a bulge cannot be repaired and needs a new tyre before it fails on the A23.
Potholes on the main roads
Lewes Road, Ditchling Road, Dyke Road, Old Shoreham Road and the back streets off Marine Parade break up every winter. A pothole can split the inner sidewall where you cannot see it, so if the car pulls or the steering shakes, have the tyre checked.
Salt air on the seafront
Cars kept on Kingsway, Marine Parade, at the Marina or in Saltdean and Rottingdean suffer corroded alloy rims that leak slowly around the bead. We clean and seal the rim when we refit, which often cures a tyre that keeps going down.
Debris on the A23 and A27
Screws, bolts and shed lorry tread collect on the A23 between Pyecombe and Preston Circus and on the A27 bypass. Most are tread punctures and can be repaired; we check the whole tyre first and tell you if it is safe.
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 Brighton 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 Brighton ask
How fast can you get to me in Brighton?
For emergency call-outs in Brighton, Hove and Portslade we aim for 30 to 60 minutes, traffic on the A23, the A27 and the seafront 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.
Can you fit a tyre in a resident permit zone or on a steep street?
Yes. Most of our Brighton work is on terraced streets in Hanover, Kemptown, Hove and Preston Park. The van only needs to stop beside the car for around half an hour, and we carry chocks and a jack that copes with the hills, so we can work from the road, a driveway or a car park.
Do you cover the A23, the M23 and the A27 around Brighton?
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; otherwise we recover the car to a safer spot first and fit it there.
Do you cover Shoreham, Peacehaven and the villages?
Yes. Portslade, Southwick, Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing, Peacehaven, Telscombe Cliffs, Newhaven, Seaford, Falmer, Lewes, Ditchling and Hassocks are all regular trips for us.
Can you fit tyres at my workplace in Brighton?
Yes. We regularly fit in car parks at the Marina, the Amex Stadium and the universities at Falmer and Moulsecoomb, at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, at Shoreham Port and on the Hollingbury and Portslade industrial estates. 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.
