Mobile Tyre Fitting in Long Ashton
Long Ashton, the A370 and Ashton Court — 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.
Long Ashton is the last village before Bristol on the south-western side, and it lives up to the name: better than a mile of housing along one street, with the A370 bypass running parallel to it a field away. Ashton Court, a walled deer park with a mansion in the middle, lies between the village and the city.
The bypass is not an ordinary one. It is dual carriageway with bus lanes, grade separated, with underpasses where the older roads cross beneath it, and since 2017 its eastern end has connected to the South Bristol Link. Everything passing through uses it, and almost nothing passing through uses the village.
Roads and places we get called to around Long Ashton
- The A370 bypass, its slip roads and the underpasses beneath it.
- Long Ashton Road and Weston Road through the village.
- The park and ride site off the bypass.
- Ashton Court, its gates and the ground inside.
- The Clevedon Road turning and the lanes up towards Failand.
- The housing on the old research station site at the western end.
Two roads side by side
The bypass and the village street run within a few hundred yards of each other and could hardly be less alike. On the A370 there are running lanes, bus lanes and a kerb, and that is all. It is no place to be standing beside a car, and the underpasses are worse again because there is no verge at all through them.
The village street has the reverse problem. It is narrow, parked both sides along most of its length, and in several places the parked cars reduce it to one running lane that buses and everybody else take turns through. North Somerset has consulted on parking restrictions there for exactly that reason. A van pulled up beside a car on Long Ashton Road stops the street, so if yours will still move we will normally ask for a side turning instead.
Ashton Court and the grass
The estate is open ground — deer park, woodland, a golf course and mountain-bike trails — and whenever anything is held there the parking goes onto the fields. The balloon fiesta in early August is the largest of them; in 2026 it ran from the seventh to the ninth, free to attend, and cars go onto turf in very large numbers.
So say whether the vehicle is on grass or on a made-up surface when you ring, and tell us which gate you came in by. The estate has several entrances a long way apart and the ground inside has no road names to give us, so the gate is the only fixed point we can work from.
Which Ashton
There are several Ashtons within three miles of here and only one of them is this one. Ashton Gate, Ashton Vale and Bower Ashton are all in Bristol, on the far side of the river, and Ashton Gate on a match day is a completely different job in a completely different place. Long Ashton is the one out beyond the bypass, in North Somerset, with a BS41 postcode.
Use the full name, then the road. It sounds pedantic and it saves a driver an unnecessary crossing of the Avon, which at the wrong time of day is twenty minutes gone.
We also cover Bristol over the river, Nailsea down the A370 and Portishead beyond Failand.
What we can do in Long Ashton

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.
Working conditions around Long Ashton
Soft ground. A jack lifts by pushing down, so it needs something solid to push against. On turf, verge, gravel or a farm track the foot sinks instead of lifting, and on wet ground it can slide sideways as the weight comes on — which is how a car ends up off a jack. We carry base plates that spread the load, but they have to be on the van before we set off, so mention the surface when you ring and say whether it is wet.
After heavy rain the honest answer is sometimes that the ground will not take a jack at all and the vehicle needs to come onto hard standing first. If the tyre is completely flat that is not possible, which changes the plan again — far better established on the phone than discovered in a field.
Common questions in Long Ashton
- Can you work on the A370 bypass?
- Only as a last resort. There is no hard shoulder and the underpasses have no verge, so if the wheel will turn at all, come off at a slip road first and ring us from there.
- My car is parked on Long Ashton Road itself.
- Tell us roughly where along it. The street narrows to a single running lane in places, and where that happens we will ask to move into a side turning rather than block it.
- I am parked on the grass at Ashton Court.
- Say so on the phone, and name the gate you drove in through. There is no useful address inside the estate and the entrances are a long way from one another.
- Do you go to the park and ride?
- Yes, regularly. Give us the row or the nearest corner of the site, because it is a large flat area with very little to describe on it.
- Do you cover Failand, Flax Bourton and Barrow Gurney?
- Yes, across BS41 and BS48 and the lanes up onto the ridge.
