Mobile Tyre Fitting Matford
If you work or live around Matford, a flat tyre can quickly get in the way of the day.
M&M Tyres is based just up the road in Marsh Barton, so our mobile van can come to your workplace, car park, yard or home and fit the tyre where the vehicle is parked.
No trip across Exeter and no waiting around at the workshop.
Tyres Matford
The right tyre for a car doing the school run and the B3174 into Exeter is not always the right tyre for a van working the lanes around Tipton St John and Alfington. Before we recommend anything, we ask how you actually use the vehicle, how many miles you cover, and what you want to spend.
That might mean a like-for-like replacement, something harder wearing for a van that lives on rural roads, a quieter option for an EV, or a set of all season tyres for the winter lanes. Whichever way it goes, one of the team will talk you through it in plain English and give you the price before any work starts.
Tyres For Matford Cars, Vans And Company Vehicles
Vehicles around Matford cover all sorts of mileage.
There are company cars travelling up and down the M5, vans carrying tools and stock, and pool cars shared between several drivers. They do not all need the same type of tyre.
A high-mileage car may benefit from a premium tyre with good wet grip and wear. A loaded van needs the correct load rating as well as the right tyre size. An electric company car may need something designed to cope with additional weight and torque.
Tell us how the vehicle is used and we can help you choose something suitable.

- Several vehicles fitted during one visit
- Appointments arranged around shifts and deliveries
- Clear quotes before work begins
- Cars, vans, trailers and commercial vehicles handled by one supplier
- A regular contact who gets to know your vehicles
- Advice on tyres that are approaching replacement
- Tyre rotation to help even out wear

Fitting That Works Around Your Working Day
For many Matford customers, the main benefit of mobile fitting is not having to stop work.
Leave the vehicle in a suitable parking space and we can fit the tyres while you get on with your day.
We normally need access to the vehicle, the locking wheel nut key if there is one, and enough safe space to work around the wheel.
If the site has barriers, permits, restricted access or limited parking, mention it when you book.
Same day tyre fitting may also be available depending on stock and the diary.
Balancing, Alignment And TPMS Done Properly
Correct fitting matters just as much as choosing the right tyre.
The mobile van carries balancing equipment, so wheels can be balanced as part of the fitting.
Wheel nuts are tightened to the correct torque setting and the TPMS is checked and reset where required.
Wheel alignment needs to be carried out at our Marsh Barton workshop because it requires specialist alignment equipment.
It is worth checking if the vehicle pulls to one side, the steering wheel sits off centre or the tyres are wearing unevenly.
Our guide to uneven tyre wear explains some of the common signs.
How To Tell When A Tyre Has Had Enough
Tyres often show signs of wear before they become a problem.
A few things worth checking are:
- Tread across the full width of the tyre
- The legal 1.6mm tread minimum
- Cracks in the sidewall
- Bulges or other visible damage
- Tyre pressures
- Uneven wear
- The age of the tyre
Our free tyre safety check can tell you whether the tyres are still in good condition or getting close to replacement.
You can also read our guide to knowing when tyres need replacing or use our long drive tyre checklist before a longer journey.

Frequently asked questions.
Here are just some of the questions we get asked on a daily basis.
Not on site, since wheel alignment needs the laser gear at Marsh Barton. Matford is minutes away, so it is easy to book in straight afterwards. It is worth doing if the car pulls as you steer, or if the inside edges are wearing faster than the rest, which road conditions and kerbing around Exeter tend to cause. We will look at the wear pattern while we are with you and tell you whether you need it, and we can check the battery at the same time if you want.
Roughly an hour to an hour and a quarter to get four tyres fitted, depending on the vehicle and the wheels. A single tyre is around twenty minutes once the technician is set up. Either way, you are back on the road the same visit, without the car sitting at a garage for half a day.
They are stiffer and need the right equipment, which the van carries either way. The more important point is that a run flat driven on after a puncture has usually damaged its own sidewall, so a puncture repair is not safe and replacement is the only honest answer. On a standard type of tyre, we will always check whether a repair will do first.
Our technicians carry tools for a lot of these, but not every one. Seized nuts on an older vehicle usually come off on site. A missing locking key is harder, so say so when you book, because it sometimes means bringing the car into the service centre at Marsh Barton instead of doing it in the car park.
We would rather supply them. Buying online elsewhere and paying separately for fitting rarely works out cheaper once you have added it up, and if the wrong tyre arrives, nobody owns the problem. We keep a range of tyres in stock at great prices, from budget tyres through to top brands like Michelin, Pirelli and Continental. Ring with the size and compare before you order.
More than most people expect. Send the registrations when you book an appointment and we will check what we have in stock, load the van accordingly, and get several vehicles done in one visit. Doing it that way saves the time and hassle of drivers going out one at a time. Larger numbers are worth spreading across a couple of slots so the fitting team is not rushing the last one.
For account customers, yes. If you run vehicles from Matford regularly, call us on 01392 217322 and we will set the account up properly rather than leaving drivers to sort payment individually. It is one of the reasons local firms have stayed with M&M Tyres Exeter for years, since the invoice matches the quote every time.
Tell us when you book. Height restrictions stop the van getting into some sites, and low light and tight bays make the mobile service impractical in others. Get in touch with the location and we will tell you before the day rather than turn up and find out. If the car has to be moved, bringing it to the workshop is often the quicker answer.
Yes, and it is a large part of our mobile tyre fitting in Exeter. The technician needs a level bay with enough room to work safely down the side of the vehicle, and a marked bay in a business park car park is usually fine. It saves you time compared with dropping the car at a garage and finding a lift back.
