Mobile tyre fitters

[Flytvr]

Anyone ever successfully used a mobile tyre company to fit new tyres to their LC?

Just had Tyres On The Drive round.  “Sorry - can’t do that. Can’t use our jacks on that car”

I wasn’t going to argue and will now just take it to Lexus (like it did when the fronts needed replacing).

AA managed to jack it up when I had a stone stuck in the brakes!

I'm very surprised to read this because I too had "Tyres on the drive" fit 4 new to my Jag XF. The job was completed with no fuss or bother whatsoever. Clearly at the point of ordering they knew what car the tyres were being fitted to and had there been any concerns then that's when they should have cried off the job and not on your drive. As I recall, the XF wheels were 18 inch, quite wide and ground clearance wasn't at all exceptional. Obviously also a fairly heavy car to lift.  I've got to say the lad who fitted them was extremely courteous, highly efficient and completed the fitting in something like an hour and 15 minutes, easily less than half the time "others" would have taken! On the basis of my experience, I would have no hesitation recommending them.

Thanks for replying.

I’ve used them loads in the past. Replaced tyres on my ISF, RCF, C63 and just this week, my S3.

I got the impression that as the last job of the day (1930),  he wanted any excuse to exit. Within seconds of arriving he said “This is going to be the hardest job of the day”..

With that sort of attitude I wasn’t going suggest Google, YouTube or reading the manual.
