When you call, have ready:

• Your postcode or location
• Your vehicle registration (so we can confirm the tyre size)
• Ideally, the tyre size if you know it (printed on the tyre sidewall)
• Whether the tyre needs replacing or just checking/repairing

What Sizes Do We Carry?

Tyre Rescue mobile units carry the most common tyre sizes for the Scottish market. Our primary stock includes:

• 195/65R15, 205/55R16, 215/55R17 (most common UK sizes for hatchbacks and saloons)
• 235/45R17, 245/45R18, 255/45R18 (performance and premium car sizes)

For less common or specialist sizes: we may need to source from our distributor network. Same-day is sometimes possible for sourced sizes; next-morning is more typical.

If you tell us your tyre size when you call, we can confirm immediately whether we have it in stock.

Emergency vs Scheduled Same-Day Fitting

Emergency callout (flat tyre, blowout, damage): we prioritise emergency callouts above standard appointments. If you are stranded with a flat tyre or sidewall damage, call and we will dispatch to you as fast as possible. Scheduled same-day fitting: if you need new tyres today but are not stranded — you noticed a warning light or a very low tread depth — we can often fit you in between existing appointments. Call to check availability.

Can I Get Same-Day Fitting at My Work?

Yes — many Scottish drivers have tyres fitted during the working day at their office or workplace car park. This is one of the most popular uses of mobile fitting.

Just give us the workplace address, confirm there is safe access for the vehicle, and let us know your preferred time window. We call or text when we are 15–20 minutes away.

Preparing for a Same-Day Visit

When the fitter arrives, they will need:

• Access to the vehicle with a key or fob (or you can unlock it for them)
• Clear access to all four tyres (avoid very tight parking on a kerb if possible)
• Ideally, park on level ground for safety during jacking

The fitting takes 20–30 minutes for one tyre and 45–60 minutes for two. TPMS reset is included.
