Mobile Tyre Fitting in Pershore
Pershore, Pinvin and two bridges over the Avon — 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.
Pershore has two bridges over the Avon standing within a few yards of each other, and only one of them carries traffic. The older is late medieval, five stone arches with cutwaters rising into refuges on the parapet, and it is open now to people on foot and on bicycles and to nothing else. The twentieth-century bridge beside it takes the road.
That road is the B4084 — Worcester Road, the High Street, Bridge Street, over the water and away along Avon Bank towards Evesham. The A44 does not come into the town at all. It runs about a mile and a half north, past Pinvin and along the Wyre Piddle bypass, and the link down into Pershore is the A4104.
Roads and places we get called to around Pershore
- The B4084 through the High Street and Bridge Street.
- The road bridge over the Avon and its approaches on both banks.
- Avon Bank and the low ground below the bridges.
- The A4104 south-west towards Defford and the A38.
- The A44 at Pinvin, and the B4083 running up to it.
- Pershore station and its car park, out at Pinvin on Station Road.
Two bridges, and one of them has no cars on it
The old bridge is listed at Grade II* and it is a scheduled monument as well, which is an unusual pair of protections for a single structure. Its middle arch was enlarged in the seventeenth century when the Avon was made navigable, and it went out of road service back in the 1920s. Everything has used the newer bridge alongside ever since.
There is a naming trap in this that costs time. What the national heritage listing calls Pershore Bridge is the old one; the mapping most phones and satnavs use puts the same name on the modern road bridge. So do not give us the name — tell us whether you are on the bridge that carries cars or the one that does not. We cannot bring a van onto the old bridge under any circumstances, and if a vehicle is somehow on it, that is the first thing we need to know.
The A44 is not the road through the town
This is the commonest mistaken location we get in this part of Worcestershire. Somebody rings and says they are on the A44 at Pershore, and where they actually are is on a fast road well to the north, nearer Pinvin and Wyre Piddle than the High Street.
The two are a mile and a half apart, one is a main road with no frontages and the other is a town centre, and the approach from our end is nothing alike. If you came off a dual stretch and then turned down towards the town, you were on the A44 and are now on the A4104 or the B4083. If you never left the built-up street, you are on the B4084.
The station is out at Pinvin
Pershore station is not in Pershore. It stands on Station Road at Pinvin, more than a mile from the middle of the town — roughly half an hour on foot — and it is unstaffed, with a single platform and a small free car park beside it. The Cotswold Line is single track past here; the redoubling of some years back stopped short of this stretch.
A vehicle left there is not going to move again until the evening, and the surface it stands on is level and made up, so the work itself is uncomplicated. The catch is the size of the place. Leave us the registration and roughly where in it you parked, because a fitting van in the wrong row blocks more of that car park than you would think.
Two flood warning areas, not one
The Environment Agency covers this town with two separate warnings and they are not interchangeable. One is for the Avon at Pershore and Wick, which is the bridge and the Avon Bank side. The other is for Nogains and Defford Road, on the other side of the town entirely. They fill at different times and they close different roads.
So "Pershore is flooded" tells us almost nothing, and the name of your road tells us everything. Say which one you are on and say whether the water is across it or only standing in the fields beside it — those are two very different answers and they send our van in from two different directions.
The plum weekend
The Pershore Yellow Egg was found growing in Tiddesley Wood in the early 1800s and by 1870 the district was sending out plums by the hundreds of tons a year. The town still marks it: a plum festival through August, with the Plum Fayre itself on the August bank holiday Monday.
On that Monday the centre is given over to it and parking spreads a long way out along the approaches. We work straight through it, but the time we quote on that day is governed by how far out the queue reaches rather than by the distance we have to come.
We also cover Evesham down the Avon, Worcester along the A4104 and the A44, and Upton upon Severn across to the Severn.
What we can do in Pershore
- 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 Pershore
- Which bridge should I say I am on?
- Say whether cars are going past you. The old one is foot and cycle only and a van cannot reach it; the modern one beside it carries the B4084 and everything else. The names on the two are easy to mix up, so describe the traffic instead.
- I told you I was on the A44 and you asked me to check.
- Because the A44 misses the town by about a mile and a half. If you can see shops and houses along the road you are on the B4084 in the middle of Pershore, which is a different job for us.
- Can you come out to the station at Pinvin?
- Yes, and it is uncomplicated work once we are there. Give us the registration and whereabouts in it you parked — the car park holds very few vehicles and our van needs a slot of its own.
- There is water across the road down by the Avon.
- Name the road rather than the town. There are two separate flood warning areas here on opposite sides of Pershore and they behave differently, so which one you are in decides our route in.
- Do you cover Pinvin, Wyre Piddle and Wick?
- Yes, across WR10 and the villages along the Avon.
