This guy literally saved my life. My wheel went close to Duxford and they came within 30 minutes on a Sunday around 6pm and fixed it on the spot for a very good price. Like, who does that? Thanks to them I didn’t have to pay a fortune for a recovery.

Pavel Schor · Duxford

What an amazing service — really fast, efficient and friendly. Puncture sorted in under an hour after my first message. Highly recommended local business.

Grant Dain · Saffron Walden

Called up and he was here within the hour. Two tyres done on the drive. Top bloke and amazing service.

Charlie Davey · Saffron Walden

Great service — got a puncture and he was able to fit a premium tyre for my car the same day.

What we do

Everything a tyre bay does, parked outside your house

The van carries a full-size tyre machine, a wheel balancer, a compressor and TPMS kit. That’s the difference between a mobile fitter and a man with a jack: we finish the job where you’re standing.

Wheel balancing
Every tyre we fit is balanced on the van.
Jump starts
Flat battery while we’re there? We can get you going.
Cars, vans & 4x4s
From a Fiesta to a Transit to a Discovery.
Tyre checks & advice
Tread, pressures and a look at the other three while we’re there.
Motorhomes & caravans
Fitted on the drive or on site.
Fleet & business
Vans done overnight so the round isn’t held up.

How it works

Three steps, then you’re driving again

Call, text or WhatsApp

Tell us where you are, your registration and the tyre size off the sidewall. A photo of the damage helps. We give you a fixed price on the phone. Not an estimate, the price.

The van comes to you

Driveway, roadside, office car park, farmyard or airport long stay. Typically 30–45 minutes in and around Saffron Walden, 40–60 minutes out to Cambridge, Haverhill or Bishop’s Stortford.

Fitted, balanced, paid, gone

Repaired or replaced, wheel balanced on the van, bolts torqued to the manufacturer’s figure and the old tyre taken away. Card payment at the vehicle, receipt by text.

Why people call us back

One bloke, one van, and a tyre bay in Saffron Walden

Most of the results you’ll find for “mobile tyre fitting” near here are booking systems. You ring a national number, someone in a call centre takes your details, and a subcontractor you have never heard of turns up at some point, if one is free.

This isn’t that. It’s a local business run from a tyre bay on De Bohun Court in Saffron Walden, with one liveried van for everything that can’t come to us, and the person who answers the phone is the person who fits the tyre. If the car will drive, you’re welcome to bring it in. That’s why the reviews read the way they do: 5.0 stars from 66 customers, every single one a five.

It also means you get told the truth. If your puncture can’t be repaired safely under the British Standard, we say so and show you why. If a part worn is the sensible answer for your car, we’ll say that too, even though it earns us less. And if someone else could reach you faster than we can, we’ll say so.

  • Same person on the phone and at the kerb
  • Prices published, not hidden
  • Fully equipped van, not a jack in a boot

What is actually in the van

Tyre changing machine, wheel balancer, compressor and air tank, torque wrench, locking wheel nut extractors, TPMS programming tool, and stock in the sizes people need at two in the morning.

Straight answers

Questions we get asked every week

The honest answers, including the ones about price. There are more on the FAQ page.

Can I bring the car to you instead?

Yes. Saffron Walden Tyres 24/7 has a tyre bay on De Bohun Court in Saffron Walden, CB10 2BA, and you’re welcome to drive in if the car is safe to move. It’s the same equipment, the same prices and the same hours as the van: 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Ring 07944 703971 first so the tyre is there when you are. If the tyre is flat or shredded, don’t drive on it; the van comes to you instead.

How much does mobile tyre fitting cost in Saffron Walden?

A puncture repair starts at £35, and a new tyre supplied and fitted starts at £75, depending on the size and brand you go for. Saffron Walden Tyres 24/7 adds no separate call-out fee anywhere inside its 50-mile area. You get the full price on the phone before the van leaves, and that’s what you pay when the job is done.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. Saffron Walden Tyres 24/7 doesn’t add a call-out fee anywhere within 50 miles of Saffron Walden. The price quoted on the phone covers coming to you, the tyre or repair, balancing, a new valve and taking the old tyre away. Nothing gets added on arrival, which is the complaint people most often have about emergency tyre call-outs.

Do you charge more at night or at weekends?

The daytime price applies seven days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. A small out-of-hours element applies between roughly 10pm and 6am to cover working through the night, and it’s included in the figure you’re given on the phone before we set off. There are no surprise charges at the roadside at 3am.

How quickly can you get to me?

From the base in Saffron Walden, Saffron Walden Tyres 24/7 is typically with you in 30 to 45 minutes in the town and the surrounding villages, 40 to 60 minutes in Cambridge, Bishop’s Stortford, Haverhill or Great Dunmow, and up to two hours at the outer edge of the 50-mile area. You get an honest arrival time when you call, not an optimistic one.

Are you really open 24 hours a day?

Yes. Saffron Walden Tyres 24/7 answers the phone and turns out 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including Christmas Day and bank holidays. Night call-outs are a normal part of the week rather than an exception: shift workers, lorry drivers, people who find a flat at midnight before an early start. Call or message 07944 703971 at any hour.

Can my puncture be repaired, or do I need a new tyre?

It depends where the damage is. Under British Standard BS AU 159, a puncture can only be repaired if it’s less than 6mm across and sits in the central three-quarters of the tread, known as the minor repair area. Damage to the sidewall or the shoulder can’t be repaired safely and means a new tyre. Saffron Walden Tyres 24/7 checks on site and says which it’s before any work starts.

Is it safe to drive on a flat tyre to a garage?

No. Driving even a short distance on a flat destroys the sidewall, and a tyre that could have been repaired for £35 becomes a new tyre instead. It can also damage the alloy and the wheel bearing. If you’re somewhere safe, stop, put the hazards on and call out a mobile fitter. If you’re on a motorway hard shoulder, get behind the barrier first and ring 999 or the breakdown number on your policy.

Which areas do you cover?

Saffron Walden Tyres 24/7 covers Saffron Walden and 50 miles in every direction, taking in Essex, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Suffolk and reaching into Bedfordshire and north London. That includes Cambridge, Bishop’s Stortford, Haverhill, Great Dunmow, Royston, Braintree, Harlow, Newmarket and Chelmsford close in, and Ely, Bury St Edmunds, Stevenage, Hertford, Huntingdon, Colchester, Ipswich, Peterborough, Bedford and Luton further out, plus the M11, A1, A14, A12, A120, A505, A11 and A1307.

Do you fit tyres to vans, 4x4s and motorhomes?

Yes. Saffron Walden Tyres 24/7 fits tyres to cars, vans, 4x4s, motorhomes, caravans and trailers. The van carries a full-size tyre machine, balancer and compressor, so a Transit or motorhome wheel gets the same treatment as a hatchback. Plant and agricultural tyres aren’t something we do. Fleet and business customers can have vans done overnight so the working day isn’t lost.
