Tyre change at your home, villa or office car park

What happens, step by step

1. You message us. Send your location, a photo of the tyre size on the sidewall and a rough time window. If it is a basement, add the level and bay number.
2. We quote. You get two or three tyre options with a total price, including the AED 100 fitting visit. Nothing is loaded until you choose.
3. The van arrives. Average arrival is about 30 minutes in Dubai and 40 in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, or at the time you booked.
4. You see the tyres first. The technician shows you the new tyres and their DOT date before touching the car.
5. The work. The car is lifted on a low-profile jack, each wheel comes off, and the old tyre is removed and the new one mounted on the van's tyre changer with a new valve.
6. Balancing. Each wheel is balanced on the van's balancer.
7. Refitting. Wheels go back on and are tightened with a torque wrench to your car maker's figure. Pressures are set to the door-placard values.
8. Clean-up. Old tyres, weights and packaging go in the van for recycling. You pay by card, cash, Tabby or Tamara.

A full set of four on a typical sedan takes about 45 minutes. A Patrol on 20-inch wheels or a car with locking nuts takes a little longer.

A few minutes of preparation shortens the visit. Leave the locking wheel-nut key in an obvious place, usually the glovebox or the spare-wheel well. Clear anything heavy from the boot if the spare or new tyres need to go in. If the car is parked nose-in against a wall, move it so we can reach all four wheels, or tell us and we will plan around it. On hot summer afternoons, morning or evening appointments are more comfortable for everyone, and pressures set on a cool tyre are more accurate.

At a villa

Villas are the easiest jobs. We work on the driveway or the street outside, ideally on level ground in shade. In Arabian Ranches, The Springs, Mirdif or Khalifa City, the van parks behind the car and the work is done without blocking neighbours. If you are not home, leave the key with someone, tell us where the locking-nut key is, and we can do the job and send photos.

At an apartment tower or basement

Most of our Dubai Marina, JLT, Business Bay and Downtown jobs happen in residential basements. A few things make them go smoothly:

• Clearance: our vans fit most basements; if your ramp is marked below 2.1 m, tell us and we bring a smaller vehicle setup.
• Access: register the van with security or send us the visitor-parking instructions. Some buildings in Business Bay need a gate pass.
• Signal: basements often have no mobile coverage. Send your bay number before we arrive so the technician can find the car.
• Space: we need about a metre around the wheels. Tandem bays are fine as long as we can reach both sides.

Parking and building rules

Some communities and towers restrict car repairs in parking areas. A tyre change is usually allowed because it is quick and leaves nothing behind — no oil, no fluids, and the old tyres leave with us. If your building management asks, tell them it is a mobile tyre service using battery tools with all waste removed. If repairs are not allowed in your bay, we can do the job in visitor parking or on the street outside, where parking rules permit.

At the office

Office car parks in Dubai Internet City, Al Quoz, DIFC and Mussafah are some of our most efficient jobs: you hand over the key at the lobby, go back to your desk and get a WhatsApp message when it is done. Fleet managers often book several cars in one visit.

This page and our tyre change service page

This page is about doing it where you are. If you want detail on the job itself — torque figures, valve types, how we handle TPMS sensors — read the tyre change service page. If you are choosing tyres first, the tyre size guide helps you read the numbers on your sidewall.

What you pay

AED 100 per visit for the fitting, whether that is one tyre or four on a standard car. New tyres are added at their price: from AED 150 each for economy sedan sizes, AED 250 mid-range and AED 400 premium. Rotation is free on any fitting visit, and there is no extra charge for coming to your home, or for coming at night.
