Services
Tyre Fitting
Our professional tyre fitting service ensures optimal safety and performance for all vehicle types. Using advanced equipment, we install new tyres with precision wheel balancing to prevent vibration and uneven wear. The process includes proper disposal of old tyres, safety checks on suspension components, and post-installation pressure verification. We cater to cars, motorcycles, vans, and SUVs with same-day fitting available for online orders.
Puncture Repair
We provide rapid puncture repair services using industry-approved techniques to restore tyre integrity. Our technicians conduct thorough inspections to identify internal damage and determine repair feasibility. Repairs include rubber plug insertion, sealing compound application, and pressure retention testing. We also assess tread depth compliance with UK legal requirements to ensure roadworthiness and safety.
Wheel Alignment
Precision wheel alignment optimises vehicle handling and extends tyre lifespan. Our laser-guided system adjusts camber, caster, and toe angles to manufacturer specifications. The process involves suspension component inspection, real-time measurement feedback, and post-adjustment validation. This service improves fuel efficiency, reduces uneven wear, and enhances driving stability on Stevenage's road networks.
Wheel Balancing
Dynamic wheel balancing corrects weight distribution irregularities to eliminate vibrations. Using digital balancing machines, we apply counterweights to achieve precise equilibrium. The service includes checking rim condition, recalibrating weights, and road-testing for smooth operation. Regular balancing prevents premature suspension wear and maintains steering control at motorway speeds.
Winter Tyres
Our winter tyre solutions provide enhanced traction in cold, wet, and icy conditions. The range features advanced rubber compounds that remain flexible below 7C, with deep sipes and aggressive tread patterns for improved grip. We offer expert fitting and storage services for seasonal changes, ensuring compliance with UK winter driving recommendations while maintaining vehicle performance standards.

Had to order the tyre as it wasn't in stock and it was delivered later the same day and fitted, would use Bob's tyres again and would definitely recommend them.

Excellent service by Kerrie and the guys, arrived at 08:30, home by 09:00 with two shiny new tyres, now I'm not tied to a lease service and tyre plan Bob's will be my first call every time.
