Compare Ford S-Max mobile tyre fitting quotes from specialist garages

Ford was the first carmaker to introduce a vehicle assembly line, speeding up the process of production and bringing cars to more people than ever before. The brand's motorsport credentials are equally impressive. In the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race, Ford ended Ferrari's six-year winning streak, beating the likes of Porsche and Lamborghini to the title with an ever-popular GT40.

Jim Morrison, the lead singer of rock band The Doors, famously adored his 1967 Ford Shelby GT500, the only car he ever owned. It is a mystery to this day where the vehicle ended up after his death.

Mobile tyre fitting is identical to regular car tyre fitting, except the mechanic comes to you. This service can take place almost anywhere - by the roadside, at home or at work - as long as it's safe. Many mobile tyre fitters offer 24-hour tyre fitting, which is convenient if you have broken down and need to continue your journey.

When you book a car tyre change with a mobile mechanic, make sure you tell them the make and model of your car so they know what type of tyre it needs. If you want to find out this information yourself, look at the markings on the sidewall of your current tyres. Our ultimate car tyres guide discusses how to understand these markings and choose the right tyres. We also have a tyre brand review series.

There are many advantages to using a mobile mechanic. For example, booking a mobile flat tyre repair is sometimes cheaper because mobile fitters often work independently; this means they don't have the same overheads as a regular garage and can pass those savings on to you.
