Our reviews

Takes a lot of stress away

I would definitely recommend this company: knowing someone was keeping an eye on everything to make sure I wasn't being overcharged for parts and labour takes a lot of stress out of having the work done. I felt really well looked after. Thank you Fixter.

Kathleen Hodge, West Yorkshire

Excellent service

Excellent service. On time to pick up my car & drop it back. Full service cost £179, main dealer quoted me £700-lots different!

Muhammad, Birmingham

Total game-changer!

Just had my MOT done through Fixter for the first time. It took about 5 minutes of my time in total to book, hand over the key, and get it back when the car was returned. So I was able to carry on looking after my 2 year old. Total game-changer!

Oliver Woodford, London

No need to drive to a garage

Can't get more convenient than someone turning up, taking the car from the house for its MOT and returning it a few hours later. No having to drive to a garage (often miles from anywhere or in the middle of an industrial estate) or hanging around waiting.

Darren, Pontefract

I literally cannot fault them

This is the 3rd time I have used Fixter and I recommend to everyone. It makes getting an MOT super easy for me. Everyone I speak to on the phone is incredibly helpful and polite, and they seem to be the most cost effective. I literally cannot fault them.

What is included in a car tyre check?

Our experienced mechanics will visually inspect the condition and tread of all of your tyres. If necessary they may also check your tyre pressures to ensure they align with the manufacturer guidelines. They can then advise whether or not they think replacements are needed, or if it’s time to swap your front and rear tyres.

Why are tyres important?

Your tyres are essential for safe driving - they are the only contact point between your vehicle and the road. Tyres have four key functions; they provide grip for braking and acceleration, maintain steering and directional control, support the weight of the vehicle and act as a shock absorber for vibrations from the road.

Can I drive with worn out tyres?

Driving with worn tyres is extremely dangerous because it can result in serious or fatal road accidents. Tyres should always be well maintained and checked regularly, especially when the seasons change.

The minimum tread for a car tyre in the UK is 1.6mm, however it is recommended that tyres are changed when the tread reaches 3mm.

How do I know if my tyres need replacing?

Some common signs that your tyre may need replacing are:

  • There's not enough tread depth

  • You're experiencing a shaky drive

  • You hear squeaks, whines or other strange noises when driving

  • You can see cracks in your tyres

  • You've noticed bulges or blisters

##Is it illegal to drive with bad tyres?

Your tyres are an important safety feature of your car, especially in wet or icy conditions. To keep you and your passengers safe, they must always meet these basic legal requirements:

  • Be compatible with the other tyres on the car.

  • Be in a generally good physical condition - no tears, holes or blisters.

  • Be correctly inflated to the recommended pressure.

  • Have sufficient tread and depth of tread – at least 1.6mm in the centre ¾ of the tread in a continuous band around the tyre.

And remember the more tread your tyres have, the better your grip on the road and the shorter your stopping distances, therefore the safer your car will be to drive.

The number one reason to book a free tyre check with us is safety. This is the most important reason for keeping your tyres in good condition. A bad tyre could spell disaster when travelling at speed, so it's vital that you get them checked regularly to keep yourself, your passengers and other road users safe.

How long do tyres last?

On average, tyres should last between three to five years, or between 30,000 to 60,000 miles. This can vary greatly between different drivers and different tyre types. Tyre experts Michelin recommend that, after five years or more your tyres should be inspected at least once a year by a professional. Then, if you’re still driving on them after ten years they should be replaced, as a precaution.
