Hi guys, I just managed to get a puncture last night on my car.
Fortunately it is ready to be replaced anyway so rather than a repair I'm just going to replace both my rears.
Unfortunately I'm in a wheelchair, so it is a lot easier for me to use a mobile service. Does anyone know of any reputable mobile fitters in the east yorkshire area? I managed to limp home at 20mph, it only happened 1/4 mile from home, but after reinflating the tyre it was flat again within half an hour, so trying to limp into hull (about 15 miles away) is not really an option.
Being in a wheelchair it is impossible to put my space saver on, and my wife is heavily pregnant.
So looking for any reccomendations. They must be good, my amg iv 19" wheels cost me a small fortune!
Thanks guys.

Whoever you use make sure you tell them about the wheels. Not all people are equipped for big wheels. And make sure you inspect them with the fitter before and after for damage. I have seen some horrors before.

Thanks guys, I notice quickfit seem fairly competetive on price. Anyone used them?

Also tyrefitdirect.co.uk appear to have goodyear eagle f1 gsd3, which I can't find anywhere else. I have these already and really rate them, and I believe they have been discontinued in the uk. So anyone used tyrefit direct before?

E-Tyres do F1 GSD3's, that where I got mine, If quickfit is really Kwikfit, I wouldn't go near them.

I'll give etyres a call tomorrow, hopefully they will have them in stock.
Thanks.

I used http://www.blackcircles.com/ recently and found them good. They are competitive on price and have franchised providers near where you live. They are cheaper than using the provider directly and will have the tyres fitted at a place of your choosing (home or office).

It would be interesting if you could tell us about your choice and experience thereafter.

I will certainly let you all know how it went, though it may have to wait until monday.
I have to take my father in law to east midlands airport on saturday and will have to use the dreaded "fuel of the devil" diesel volvo, instead of the creamy 6.2 v8 :(
