Tyre Fitting | Tyre Repair near me

At our Bosch Car Service garages, we offer different services when it comes to tyres.

Here's a breakdown of each individual tyre service:

• Tyre Fitting: Fitting of new tyres onto your vehicle, including mounting the tyre on the wheel, tyre balancing, and ensuring proper tyre alignment. It's typically done when you need to replace or you want to switch the postions of your tyres.
• Tyre Repair: If your tyre has a puncture, small tear, or any other minor damage, a tyre repair can fix your issue without the need of a full tyre replacement. This service is suitable for tyres that are still in good condition but have minor damages.
• Tyre Replacement: This service is needed when a tyre is no longer safe to use due to excessive wear, damage, or age. This involves completely removing the old tyres and fitting new ones.

Each of these services addresses different needs, and the right option depends on the condition of your tyres. For professional tyre service, contact your local Bosch Car Service garage or book your tyre fitting online now:

There are several signs that indicating that it is time for a tyre replacement:

• Excessive tread wear: You can check if your tyre is worn below the legal limit of 1.6mm by inserting a 20p coin into the grooves at various points and if the outer band of the 20p coin is obscured when it is inserted, then your tread is above the legal limit. If the outer band of the coin is visible, then your tyres may be illegal and unsafe and should be checked immediately by a Bosch Car Service workshop who will then compare it to official guideline depth.
• Frequent tyre pressure loss: If your tyres are constantly loosing pressure and you need to inflate them more regularly then usually, it could signal internal damage, requiring tyre repair, new valve or replacement.
• Vibration or noise: Unusual vibrations or noises while driving could be an indicator for wheel balancing issues, misalignment, or damage, which may need a re-balance, new tyres fitting or wheel alignment.
• Cracks, bulges, or punctures: If you can see visible damage on the sidewalls or tyre tread, such as cracks, bulges, or objects stuck in the rubber, suggests the tyre is unsafe and needs to be replaced.
• Age of the tyres: Even without visible wear, tyres older than 6 years can degrade due to the breakdown of the rubber compound and therefore need to be replaced. This is recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.

If you notice any of these issues, it’s always a good idea to visit your Bosch Car Service garage nearby for a professional opinion.
