Mobile Tyre Fitting in Glastonbury
Glastonbury, the Tor and the A39 — 24 hours a day.
Maximum 60 minute response. We have drivers across England and Wales, so a call gets a fitter to the vehicle rather than you moving a car that is not safe to move. Call 07989 606060 with your tyre size and location.
Glastonbury sits on an island of higher ground with wet moor on three sides of it, and the Tor standing five hundred feet above the whole thing. The A39 runs through on its way from Street to Wells, the A361 comes in from Shepton Mallet and leaves west towards Othery, and the B3151 heads north for Wedmore.
Nearly everything that makes work here awkward comes from the same source: a small town centre laid out long before cars, with a national visitor attraction attached to the side of it and no room built in for either.
Roads we get called to around Glastonbury
- The A39 through the town, west to Street and north-east to Wells.
- The A361 towards Pilton and Shepton Mallet, and west across the moor.
- Magdalene Street, Benedict Street and the climb of the High Street.
- Chilkwell Street, Bere Lane and the pay car parks off them.
- The B3151 north towards Wedmore and south towards Somerton.
- The industrial units on the Street side of the town.
Wellhouse Lane and the Tor
There is no visitor car park at the Tor. Wellhouse Lane, which runs along its foot, used to be parked solid on both sides until boulders were put along the verge to stop it, and what is left at the top is reserved for badge holders. Everyone else leaves the car in the town and walks up.
That matters if something goes wrong on the lane itself. It is single width for most of its length with banks on both sides, and a stopped car blocks it completely — there is no passing place to aim for. If you are on it, say which end you came in from, because we may have to walk kit in rather than bring the van past you.
Small shops and no back yards
The High Street is unusually dense with small independent shops, and almost none of them have service access behind. Deliveries happen on the street, on a slope, in short-stay bays, and the buildings stand hard against the pavement. A car in one of those bays with a flat nearside is a job we can do, but only if nothing is unloading beside it.
The larger car parks off Magdalene Street and Chilkwell Street are far easier and only a couple of minutes away. If the wheel will hold air long enough to roll into one, that is worth doing before you ring.
Festival week, and where the site actually is
Worthy Farm is at Pilton, about six miles east of here, and it is nearer Shepton Mallet than it is to this town. People still tell us they are "at Glastonbury" when they are in a lane near Pylle with a hire van full of camping gear. If that is you, name the last village sign you passed rather than the festival, because the two are a long way apart on the ground.
The town itself does fill up that week, and the A361 east becomes the pinch point. We work through it, but the approach we take depends entirely on which side of the town you are.
We also cover Street next door, Wells up the A39, and Shepton Mallet along the A361.
What we can do in Glastonbury
- Mobile tyre fitting — supply and fit a replacement at your home, workplace or the roadside, including balancing and disposal of the old casing.
- Mobile puncture repair — where the damage is inside the repairable area of the tread, a repair is cheaper and quicker than replacement.
- Commercial tyre fitting — vans, minibuses and other light commercial vehicles.

Before we arrive
- Find your locking wheel nut key. Without it the wheel cannot come off. It is usually in the glovebox, the boot well, or with the spare.
- Read your tyre size off the sidewall, for example 205/55 R16 91V, so we arrive with the right tyre rather than making a second trip.
- If you are on a motorway or dual carriageway, get as far left as you can or into a refuge, then everyone out through the passenger doors, over the barrier and well back from the carriageway — not in the car. Ring with the junction number and your direction of travel.
- Describe where you are, not just your postcode. A junction number, a bay number, a farm, a pub or a bridge puts us on the spot far faster — rural postcodes can cover a mile of near-identical lane. We bring our own lighting, so darkness is not a problem.
More detail in our guides on what to do with a flat tyre on the motorway and checking your tread depth.
Repair or replace
Whether a tyre can be repaired is decided by where the damage is, not by how big the hole looks. Damage inside the central three-quarters of the tread, up to 6mm across, is repairable under BS AU 159. Damage in the shoulder or the sidewall is not, at any size — there is no way to reinforce a sidewall that flexes on every revolution.
The other thing that rules out a repair is having driven on the tyre flat. A short distance is enough: the sidewall folds under the rim and the internal cords break. That often does not deflate the tyre at the time — it shows up days later as a soft rounded bulge, and a tyre in that condition has to be replaced whatever the original puncture looked like.
How the damage was made matters as much as where it is. A nail or a screw pierces, leaving a neat hole that is usually well within the limit. Flint, crushed stone, quarry aggregate and dropped stainless fixings cut instead — a gouge or a tear rather than a puncture — and a cut frequently exceeds the repairable size even when it lands squarely in the middle of the tread. That is why we take the tyre off and look inside before telling you either way, rather than judging it from the outside.
Impact damage behaves the same way. A pothole or a kerb taken at speed compresses the suspension fully and pinches the sidewall between the rim and the obstacle. If that has happened, check both tyres on that side — the rear takes the same hit a fraction of a second after the front — and look for a bulge rather than for a hole.
We carry both outcomes to every job, so a repair that turns out not to be safe does not become a second visit.
Age and wear
Tread depth is not the only thing that retires a tyre. Rubber hardens as it ages whatever the mileage, which is why a caravan, motorhome, trailer or second car can carry almost full tread on a casing that is well past useful life. The four-digit date code on the sidewall gives the week and year it was made — our guide on how long tyres last covers where the line falls.
Depth matters most in standing water. The legal minimum is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters, but a tyre's ability to clear water falls off well above that — by about 3mm you are losing it noticeably, and aquaplaning starts at lower speeds than most drivers expect. Our tread depth guide covers checking it with a 20p coin in about a minute.
Wear patterns are worth reading too. Both outer shoulders going before the middle usually means underinflation, or a lot of cornering and hill descent; one edge alone is more often alignment. We will tell you which it looks like when we are there — see uneven tyre wear for the full picture.
Vans and light commercials
A van needs a tyre carrying the C marking and the correct load index. That is not interchangeable with a passenger tyre of the same nominal size, whatever may have been fitted before — the casing is built to carry more, and a loaded van on passenger-rated tyres is running outside the rating.
Tell us whether the van is loaded when you ring, and we will bring the right fitment first time. Details of what we carry are on the commercial tyres page.
How the repair is done
The wheel comes off, the tyre comes off the rim, and the inside of the casing is inspected before anything else happens. The puncture is then repaired from within using a combined plug and patch, and the wheel is balanced before it goes back on.
That inspection is the part that matters. An external plug pushed into the tread without removing the tyre is a get-you-home measure: it can seal the hole while leaving damage inside the casing entirely undetected, and that damage is what causes tyres to fail later at speed. It is the same job a garage does, done where the vehicle already is.
A slow leak with no puncture to find
A tyre that loses air over days with nothing in the tread has usually failed at the seal rather than the surface — a corroded alloy bead seat, or a perished valve stem. Neither can be found with the tyre still on the rim, and neither is fixed by topping the pressure up.
It typically announces itself on the first cold morning of the year. Cold air contracts, dropping the pressure a few PSI, and a leak that was tolerable through mild weather is a visibly flat tyre by the time you come out to the car. The fix is the tyre off the rim, the sealing face cleaned back to sound metal, and a new valve.
Common questions in Glastonbury
- I have broken down on Wellhouse Lane below the Tor.
- Tell us which end you entered from and whether anything is behind you. The lane is single width with banks, so we work out the approach before setting off rather than meeting you head on halfway along.
- My car is in a short-stay bay on the High Street.
- That is workable if the space beside the wheel is clear. If a delivery is unloading next to you, or the tyre is only soft, rolling down to one of the Magdalene Street or Chilkwell Street car parks makes the job quicker.
- Can you come out during festival week?
- Yes, but be specific about where you are. The site is six miles away at Pilton and half the calls that mention the festival are actually in lanes off the A361. A village name places you; the festival name does not.
- Do you cover the villages out on the moor?
- Yes — Meare, Godney, Baltonsborough and the lanes towards Butleigh, along with the whole of BA6.
- Is the hill up to the Tor a problem for the van?
- The van does not go up the Tor itself; that is a footpath. Everything we do here is at road level, and the highest we work is the top of the lane where the badge holder spaces are.

Why use a mobile fitter?
You do not have to move a vehicle that is not safe to move. No limping to a garage on a space-saver, no waiting room, and no second trip to collect the car.
We bring the same equipment a garage would use, wheel balancing included, to wherever the vehicle already is.
