Mobile tyre fitting across Pitlochry and Highland Perthshire
We are 24/7 Mobile Tyre Services, a family run mobile tyre fitting business working out of Polmadie in Glasgow. The A9 is our working route north. We already cover Perth daily, and Pitlochry sits on the same corridor, so this is ground we know well rather than a pin on a coverage map.
Every van carries a tyre changing machine, a computerised wheel balancer, a torque wrench, TPMS diagnostic tools and a locking wheel nut extraction kit. That means the whole job finishes at your vehicle. Nothing gets taken away to a workshop.
We stock budget, mid-range and premium tyres in sizes up to 285/40 R23, and we fit customer supplied tyres too. Give us your registration on the call and we confirm the size, load index, speed rating and stock before anyone sets off.
One thing we will always be straight about is time. Pitlochry is a fair run from Glasgow, so we quote a real arrival window on the phone, not a headline number we cannot keep.
Call 07955 533000 for tyre help in Pitlochry.
Tyre failures on the A9 around Pitlochry
The A9 is the road that defines driving in Highland Perthshire. It carries freight, commuters, coaches and a huge volume of tourist traffic on a long sustained run between Perth and Inverness. Average speed cameras have covered that stretch since October 2014, and the dualling programme is still working its way north.
In practice that means contraflows, narrow running lanes and temporary surfaces. Temporary surfaces are hard on tyres. Sustained speed builds heat inside the tyre, and heat is the thing that turns a small unnoticed puncture or a weakened sidewall into a blowout.
We see the pattern often enough to describe a typical job. A northbound car enters a contraflow above Ballinluig, the tyre lets go, and there is nowhere safe to stop until the next layby. The driver has done nothing wrong. The callouts we get north of Dunkeld are almost never the customer’s fault.
What to do if a tyre goes on the A9
If it happens to you, get to a layby or somewhere fully off the carriageway. Hazard lights on. On a fast stretch, get out on the passenger side and stand behind the barrier. Do not keep driving on a flat any further than you have to, because it destroys the tyre and can wreck the rim.
On timing, we work from the Central Belt, so Pitlochry usually means a window of around two hours, sometimes less if a van is already working the corridor. What moves it is traffic, weather and where the nearest van is at that moment. If we cannot get to you fast enough for your situation, we will say so on the call.

Tyres in Pitlochry: the full range of work we do
Mobile tyre fitting
New tyres supplied and fitted at your home, work or the roadside. Everything is balanced and torqued to the manufacturer specification on site. Mobile tyre fitting is the core of what we do, day and night.
Emergency tyre replacement, 24 hours
A burst tyre at 21:00 in Pitlochry leaves you with no open garage for miles. Our emergency tyre replacement service runs around the clock, including Sundays and bank holidays.
Puncture repair
Where the damage sits in the central three quarters of the tread and is small enough to repair safely, we repair to the BSAU159 standard instead of selling you a tyre. Our puncture repair work saves a lot of customers money.
Wheel balancing
A vibration between 50 and 70mph usually means a wheel is out of balance. Every van carries a computerised balancer, so wheel balancing happens with the fitting, not as a separate trip.
TPMS sensor replacement
A warning light that will not clear is often a dead sensor battery or a corroded valve. We carry diagnostic tools for TPMS sensor replacement and reset the system before we leave.
Locking wheel nut removal
Lost the key, or found the nut rounded off? Our locking wheel nut removal kit gets the wheel off without drama, and we can supply a replacement set.
Motorhomes, vans, 4x4s and minibuses
Pitlochry gets a lot of motorhome and coach traffic. We fit the correct load rated tyres for heavier vehicles, and we come to campsites, car parks and laybys.
What we get called out to in Highland Perthshire
Blowouts and roadworks damage on the A9
The combination of speed, heat and temporary surfaces produces most of our A9 work. Usually the tyre is beyond saving. We bring the right size out, fit and balance it in the layby, and get you moving.
Loose chippings and verge damage on the B8019 and B8079
The old A9 through Killiecrankie and Blair Atholl, and the road out towards Tummel Bridge, both punish tyres with loose stone and soft verges. Sidewall cuts from these roads cannot be repaired, so we replace on site.
Punctures on the A924 towards Kirkmichael
Slow punctures picked up on the moor road often only show up the next cold morning. If it is repairable under BSAU159 we repair it. If not, we tell you why and show you the damage.
Motorhomes and hire cars with no usable spare
Many hire cars carry only a sealant kit, and most motorhomes cannot run on a space saver at all. We attend, source the correct size and finish the job where the vehicle stands.
Tyres that failed on age rather than tread
Highland Perthshire is full of holiday lets, second homes and seasonal vehicles. Rubber hardens and cracks whether the wheels turn or not, so a tyre with plenty of tread can still be dangerous. We check date codes and give you an honest reading.
Winter damage on untreated minor roads
Frost heave, potholes and grit take a toll on the smaller roads every winter. Buckled rims and pinched sidewalls are common, and we handle both the tyre and the honest advice about the wheel.
Tell us what has happened and we will give you a price. Call 07955 533000.
How a Pitlochry callout works
Step 01
Call or WhatsApp 07955 533000. Give us the nearest A9 junction, layby or landmark if you do not have a postcode. That is enough for us to find you.
Step 02
We confirm the details. Registration or tyre size, load index, speed rating, and stock on the van. You get the total price before anyone moves.
Step 03
A fitter is dispatched and you get a realistic arrival window, not a guess.
Step 04
We fit on site. The tyre is changed, balanced on the computerised balancer and torqued to the manufacturer specification.
Step 05
We check the rest. Pressures set on all four, TPMS reset, and a quick look at the other tyres, including tread against the 1.6mm legal minimum.
Step 06
Payment and receipt. Card or bank transfer at the vehicle, receipt issued, old tyre taken away.
The price agreed at step 2 is the price you pay at step 6.

Mobile tyre fitting in Pitlochry: your questions answered
How much does mobile tyre fitting cost in Pitlochry?
The cost depends on the tyre size, the brand you choose and the time of day. You get one total price on the phone before we set off, covering the tyre, the fitting and the callout, and that quoted price is the final price. There are no arrival surprises.
How fast can a mobile tyre fitter get to Pitlochry?
From our Glasgow base, Pitlochry is usually a window of around two hours, sometimes quicker when a van is already working the A9 corridor. We quote a real window on the call based on where the nearest van is, and if that window does not work for your situation we will tell you straight.
Are you available 24 hours in Pitlochry?
Yes. Nights, weekends and bank holidays are normal working hours for us. Out of hours work is exactly why most Pitlochry customers call, because the nearest open garage in the evening is a long way away.
Can you fit a tyre in a layby on the A9?
Yes, laybys are where a large share of our A9 jobs happen. Pull fully off the carriageway, put your hazards on, and wait behind the barrier if you are on a fast stretch. Give us the layby number or the nearest junction and we will find you.
Do you cover Blair Atholl, Killiecrankie, Aberfeldy and Dunkeld?
Yes, all four. Blair Atholl and Killiecrankie sit right on our route through the pass, and Aberfeldy and Dunkeld are both comfortably inside the area we work from the A9.
Can my puncture be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. If the damage sits in the central three quarters of the tread and is within the BSAU159 repair limits, we repair it and you save the cost of a tyre. Sidewall and shoulder damage cannot be repaired safely, and we will show you why if that is the case.
Can you fit a tyre on a motorhome or a minibus?
Yes. We carry the equipment for larger and heavier wheels and we fit tyres with the correct load rating for motorhomes, campervans, minibuses and vans. Tell us the vehicle and the size on the call and we confirm stock before dispatch.
Will you fit tyres I have bought online?
Yes. Have the tyres with you, give us the size and location, and we fit and balance them at your vehicle. Plenty of customers in Highland Perthshire buy online and use us as the fitting service.
