Mobile Spare Wheel Fitting Service

Have a spare wheel but can’t fit it? Let the experts handle the heavy lifting safely.

We Fit Your Spare Wheel – Safe, Fast, and Hassle-Free

Many modern vehicles still come equipped with a spare wheel (or a “space saver”), tucked away under the boot floor. However, having a spare wheel and being able to fit it at the roadside are two very different things.

Changing a wheel is physically demanding, dirty, and dangerous work. Manufacturer-supplied tool kits are often flimsy, and wheel nuts are frequently overtightened, making them impossible to remove by hand.

At Mobile Tyre Service UK, we offer a dedicated Mobile Spare Wheel Fitting Service. If you are stuck in Surrey or on the M25 South with a flat tyre and a spare you cannot use, we will come to you. We provide the professional tools, the muscle, and the safety equipment to get your flat off and your spare on, getting you home safely.

Why Drivers Call Us for a Wheel Change

You might be wondering, “Why should I pay someone to fit a spare wheel?” The reality is that roadside wheel changes often present unexpected challenges that the average driver cannot overcome alone.

Seized Wheel Nuts

This is the most common reason we are called. When tyres are fitted at a garage, the nuts are tightened using powerful pneumatic air guns. Over time, rust and road grime can seize these nuts in place. The small, L-shaped brace provided in your car’s boot is simply not strong enough to undo them.

Our Solution: We carry industrial-grade impact wrenches (battery and air-powered) that can release even the most stubborn, rusted wheel nuts in seconds, without snapping them.

Dangerous Locations (The “Offside” Problem)

If your flat tyre is on the driver’s side (the offside) and you are parked on a busy road or narrow lane in Surrey, attempting to change it yourself is suicidal. You would be crouching in the path of oncoming traffic.

Our Solution: Our vans are equipped with high-visibility chevron markings and amber warning beacons. We park in a “fend-off” position to create a safe working zone. Our technicians are trained to work safely in high-risk environments.

Missing or Inadequate Tools

Often, drivers open their boot to find the jack is missing, the locking wheel nut key is lost, or the jack is too unstable to lift the car safely on uneven ground.

Our Solution: We bring professional hydraulic trolley jacks that can lift SUVs, vans, and 4x4s safely on almost any surface. We also carry specialist locking wheel nut removal tools if your key is missing.

Physical Difficulty

Alloy wheels on modern SUVs and cars can weigh in excess of 20-25kg. Lifting a heavy wheel off the hub and lining up the spare requires significant physical strength.

Our Solution: Don’t risk a back injury. Let our technician handle the heavy lifting for you.

Important Safety Checks for Spare Wheels

When we arrive to fit your spare, we don’t just bolt it on and leave. We perform a safety check because spare wheels are often neglected.

Inflation Check: A spare wheel sits in the boot for years. Often, when it is needed, it is flat. We carry onboard compressors to inflate your spare to the correct high pressure (often 60psi for space savers) before fitting it.
Condition Check: We check the spare for cracks or dry rot to ensure it is safe to drive on.
Torque Settings: We tighten the wheel nuts to the manufacturer’s specific torque settings using a calibrated torque wrench, ensuring the wheel doesn’t come loose as you drive.

Important Note on “Space Savers”:
If your spare is a thin “skinny” wheel (a space saver), please remember:

Speed Limit: You are restricted to 50mph (80km/h) max.
Range: It is designed for temporary use only (to get you to a garage).
Handling: Your car’s braking and handling will be reduced.

Rapid Response Across Surrey & M25

We are positioned to reach you quickly. Our mobile technicians cover:

M25 South: Breakdown assistance from Junction 6 to 14.
Woking: Town centre, industrial estates, and residential areas.
Weybridge: Fast response for A3 breakdowns.
Epsom & Ewell: Roadside assistance across the borough.
Rural Surrey: We come to you, even in remote lanes.

No Spare? No Problem.

If you open your boot and find you don’t have a spare wheel (many modern cars only come with “glue kits” which rarely work on big punctures), don’t panic.

Because we are a full Mobile Tyre Service, we carry stock of new tyres on our vans. If we can’t fit a spare, we can often fit a brand new tyre there and then, or repair your existing puncture. We are the complete solution.
