Emergency mobile tyre fitting in Southampton

Emergency Tyre is a mobile tyre fitting and emergency tyre replacement service. We do not ask you to drive anywhere on a damaged tyre — a technician travels to your vehicle with the replacement tyre and the equipment needed to fit and balance it there and then.

• Roadside tyre fitting across Southampton and the surrounding motorway network (M3, M27, M271, A33 The Avenue, A35, Itchen Bridge)
• Tyre fitting at home — on your driveway or outside your address
• Tyre fitting at work, in office and business car parks
• Emergency tyre replacement after a puncture, blowout or sidewall damage
• Puncture repairs where the damage can be safely repaired
• Locking wheel nut removal and disposal of your old tyre

Southampton's port and freight traffic puts a lot of heavy vehicles through the same roads as commuters, and debris on the M271 and dock approach routes is a frequent cause of the punctures we attend.

Around the university and the Portswood and Highfield streets, permit parking is tight and kerb strikes are common. Those tyres usually go down slowly overnight, which is exactly the case where a mobile fitter at your address saves the day rather than a recovery truck.

We also cover the wider Southampton travel-to-work area, including Eastleigh, Totton and Hedge End, and can attend cars stopped on the M3 or M27 hard shoulder in a safe position.

• Debris punctures on the M271 and dock approach roads
• Kerb damage from permit parking around Portswood and Highfield
• Hard-shoulder tyre replacement on the M3 and M27
• Cruise and airport passengers needing a tyre sorted before travelling

Tyres do not fail at convenient times. Emergency Tyre takes call-outs in Southampton through the night, at weekends and on bank holidays, so a puncture at 2am is handled the same way as one at 2pm. Response times vary with distance, traffic and tyre availability, and can be from 30 minutes — we tell you the realistic estimate on the phone rather than promising a fixed time.

If your vehicle is in a dangerous position on the M3 or another fast road, stay behind a barrier where possible and call us so we can plan a safe roadside approach.

1. 1. Tell us where you are

   Call 0161 393 9418 or send a request through the form on this page with your location in Southampton, your vehicle and what has happened to the tyre.

2. 2. Tyre size identification

   Your tyre size is printed on the sidewall of the tyre, in a format such as 205/55 R16 91V. Read it to us, or send a photo of the sidewall, and we will match the correct replacement. If you cannot reach the tyre safely, we can identify the size from your registration and vehicle details instead.

3. 3. A fitter is assigned

   We confirm availability and give you a price and an estimated arrival time before anything is booked. Online requests receive an on-screen reference number immediately, followed by a call back to confirm the details.

4. 4. The tyre is fitted at your location

   The technician removes the damaged tyre, fits and balances the replacement, checks the pressure and takes the old tyre away. Payment is taken once the work is complete.
