Compare Mercedes mobile tyre fitting quotes from specialist garages

In 1886, Karl Benz - the founder of Mercedes Benz - introduced what is often considered the first petrol-powered car to the world. The Benz Patent Motor Car was born, and with it began a legacy that continues today.

Style, luxury and innovation are the driving forces behind Mercedes. Not only was it one of the first car manufacturers to put brakes and suspension on all four wheels, but it was also the first to introduce safety crumple zones.

Cars by Mercedes have appeared on the big screen numerous times, from the S-Class used by Jason Statham in The Transporter to escape a gunfight to the 1969 280 SE Convertible driven by Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones's Diary.

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.
