A Local Tyre Shop for Greenford and Perivale Drivers
We’re a general garage with tyre work done in the same workshop as our servicing and body repairs, so you deal with one local team. Drivers usually come to us to:
- have new tyres fitted and balanced on cars and vans
- change a worn or damaged tyre (see tyre replacement)
- check whether a flat can be fixed with a puncture repair
- sort out vibration with wheel balancing
Before you come in, send us your registration, the tyre size printed on the sidewall (for example 205/55 R16), how many tyres you need and a photo of any damage. We’ll confirm what’s needed and give you a quote before any work starts. All tyre services are listed on our tyres in Greenford page.
What Is Tyre Fitting?
Tyre fitting is the process of mounting a tyre onto a wheel, setting it to the correct pressure and balancing it so the wheel spins evenly. It’s more than bolting a wheel back on — correct fitting, torque and balancing all affect how a tyre wears and how the car handles, so it’s worth having done properly rather than rushed.
When You Might Need Tyre Fitting
Tyre fitting is usually needed in situations such as:
- You’ve bought new tyres online or from a supplier and need them fitted to your wheels
- A tyre has worn down to, or close to, the legal tread limit and needs replacing
- A tyre has damage that can’t be safely repaired and needs a full replacement
- You’re fitting a spare wheel or a single replacement tyre after a puncture
- You’re changing over to seasonal tyres and need them mounted and balanced
If you’re not sure whether your tyre needs repairing or replacing, our Tyres page can help point you in the right direction, or send us a photo on WhatsApp and we’ll take a look.
Is It Time to Change Your Tyres?
In the UK, car and light van tyres must have at least 1.6mm of tread across the central three-quarters of the tread and around the whole tyre, according to the Highway Code (Annex 6). Tyres must also be inflated to the vehicle maker’s figure for the load you carry, and using a vehicle with defective tyres can mean 3 penalty points. If your tread looks low, you can see cuts or bulges in the sidewall, or a tyre keeps losing air, send us a photo on WhatsApp and we’ll tell you whether it needs a repair or a change.
What MH Auto Repair Centre Can Do
We fit a wide range of tyre sizes to cars and vans at our Perivale, Greenford workshop, including tyres you’ve supplied yourself. Every tyre we fit is set to the correct pressure and balanced before it goes back on the road, and fitting work is backed by our 6-month warranty.
How We Fit Your Tyres
We start with a quick check of your wheel, tyre size and current tyre condition, including a free vehicle inspection. The old tyre is removed, the wheel is checked for damage, and the new tyre is mounted and set to the correct pressure. We then balance the wheel to reduce vibration and uneven wear, and torque the wheel nuts to the correct specification before handing the car back.
What Affects the Cost of Tyre Fitting
We don’t publish fixed prices, because the cost of tyre fitting depends on a few factors:
- Tyre size and type, and whether you’re supplying your own tyres or need us to source them
- How many tyres need fitting
- Whether wheel balancing or a valve replacement is needed alongside fitting
- Your vehicle make and model
Message us on WhatsApp with your tyre size and vehicle details and we can give you a clearer idea of cost before you book in.
How Long Does Tyre Fitting Take?
How long tyre fitting takes depends on whether the tyres are already available, how many need fitting and how busy the workshop is on the day. We’ll give you a clearer idea of timing when you message us, especially if your tyres need to be sourced first. We don’t promise same-day slots, so it’s best to check with us before you come in.
Tyre Fitting and Other Tyre Services
Tyre fitting covers mounting, pressure-setting and balancing a tyre once a decision has already been made about which tyre goes on the car. It’s a different job to Tyre Replacement, which covers assessing a worn or damaged tyre and deciding whether it needs replacing, or Puncture Repair, which looks at whether a punctured tyre can be safely repaired instead of replaced. Wheel Balancing and Seasonal Tyres are both closely related services that often go hand in hand with fitting — correcting vibration from an unbalanced wheel, or mounting the right tyres for the time of year. If your steering pulls to one side or your tyres are wearing unevenly, that’s usually a sign to also check wheel alignment, since new tyres are often paired with an alignment check to help them wear evenly.

Tyre Fitting FAQs
What’s involved in tyre fitting?
Tyre fitting involves removing the old tyre, mounting the new one onto the wheel, setting it to the correct pressure, balancing the wheel and torquing the wheel nuts to the right specification. It’s a precise job rather than just bolting a wheel back on.
Can I bring tyres I’ve bought elsewhere to be fitted?
Yes, we can fit tyres you’ve bought online or from another supplier. Let us know your wheel and tyre size in advance so we can plan the job in.
Do you offer mobile tyre fitting?
No, not currently — tyre fitting is carried out at our Perivale, Greenford workshop. Ask about collection and drop-off when you contact us.
Do you offer same-day tyre fitting?
We don’t promise same-day tyre fitting. Timing depends on whether the right tyres are available and how busy the workshop is, so message us on WhatsApp with your tyre size and we’ll tell you when we can fit them. If tyres need to be sourced first, fitting depends on when they arrive.
How much does it cost to change a tyre?
The cost of changing a tyre depends on the tyre size and type, how many tyres need fitting and whether balancing or a new valve is needed. We don’t publish fixed prices, so message us on WhatsApp with your tyre size and registration for a clear quote.
Will my wheels be balanced after new tyres are fitted?
Yes, wheel balancing is carried out as part of our tyre fitting process to help reduce vibration and even out tyre wear.

Our workshop is at Unit 17, Fleetway Business Park, 14–16 Wadsworth Rd, Perivale, Greenford UB6 7LD. It is our only site, and all tyre fitting is done there, so message us on WhatsApp before you come in.
