Why hire a tyre fitting service through Airtasker?
It’s one thing to learn how to drive, and another to maintain safety on the road. Your tyres get used up while you’re driving, whether it’s colliding with speed bumps, accumulating too much debris, or hitting potholes. Travelling with a busted tyre is more dangerous than you think, so it’s important to have a specialist to check your wheels regularly.
On Airtasker, you can rely on an expert in tyre fitting. Need to have a tyre replacement after hitting kerbs and foreign objects? Or dispose of wheels after a massive damage? A hired Tasker can help you out. You can also make extra requests, like a wheel diagnosis for internal damage or a quick clean post-tyre replacement.
Start by posting your task, laying out specifics like budget and location, and match with the suitable mechanic. Skip the trip to the repair shop and just wait for the Tasker to arrive.

Top Tyre Fitting related questions
Tyre fitting can be involved in a mechanic’s interim car service, which starts from $150 to $240 in Australia. This procedure combines the oil change service and additional check-ups plus maintenance work. It’s the go-to for looking into loose tyres, blinking lights, and loose wires, among others. Your location, the Tasker’s labour fee, and other factors can also be factored into the price.
Most manufacturers advise replacing your tyres only once every season, except if they’re already showing signs of ageing and wearing, or have been involved in unfortunate incidents. It’s also not recommended to frequently get a tyre fitting as it may slowly damage the entire wheel.
Bulging, severe cracks, or the presence of a shallow tread depth is enough reason to replace your tyres. If you accidentally run over a sharp object and it hits the sidewall, your tyres can’t serve you anymore, too. And of course, exceeding 10 years in age demands replacement as well, regardless of your tyres’ current condition.
Yes, but it’s not advisable. Tyre fitting demands more than just having the tools and equipment; it requires a professional eye and skilled hands to prevent consequences of inaccuracy. Therefore, it’s better to book a mobile tyre fitting service for convenience and accuracy.
As much as possible, Taskers should be able to complete a same-day fitting service so you can return to the road ASAP. Each wheel will only take around 15 to 30 minutes, but it can take longer if your booked specialist discovers other urgent concerns with your tyres, such as kerbs, rashes, or corroded rims.
Absolutely. You can connect with car servicing experts, car body workers, car detailers, and more.Â
What do tyre fitting services include?
Having car repairs can be overwhelming and time-consuming, so it can be tempting to stick to the DIY route. For one, tyre fitting can be done simply with jack stand, a mounting machine, and other equipment. But instead of added safety, this option can be riskier if you’re not skilled enough. Good thing there are proficient Taskers who can take on the job.
Reap the benefits of mobile tyre fitting near you. Here’s what to expect when booking through Airtasker:
Replacing Worn-Out and Old Tyres
Planning to book a tyre replacement session near you? The process depends on your wheels’ state.
Whether through heat or rainfall, severely weathered tyres should be immediately changed before the damage reaches internally, or extreme temperate creates cracks.
If not replaced ASAP, tyres with shallow tread depth (below 1.6 millimetres or 2/32 inches) might make it harder for you to drive especially on slippery roads. Tyre patterns should provide excellent traction.
When you hit a kerb or a pothole, bulged tyres tend to happen. A strong impact can cause your wheel’s sidewall to break, plus air or moisture to seep in, therefore making the outer layer swell. These tyres may explode due to pressure or cause other internal damages.
When it comes to wheels’ lifespan, most manufacturers recommend five- to six-year-old tyres be changed, while those beyond a decade can be totally replaced. Check the stamped physical age on your tyre’s sidewall.
Removing Old Tyres
First, deflation removes the old damaged rubber. When releasing the inflation, the valve core will be detached using a removal tool, allowing air to escape. Once lightweight, a tyre spreader or mounting machine will be used to remove the tyre wall and bead from the wheel rim.
Assessment on New Tyres and Rims
The booked specialist can aid in ensuring the new tyres match the size of your existing rims, as well as your car’s make and model. The purpose of the inspection is to determine if the tyres need cleaning, minor adjustments, or replacements to prevent problems or accidents.
This will also lessen your chances of going the extra mile, a.k.a. visiting the repair shop during the most inconvenient time.
Tyre Fitting and Inflating
Before mounting the new tyres, the rim seats and tyre beads will be lubricated inside and out to ensure they will fit seamlessly. A tyre spreader will be utilised to mount the tyre onto the wheel and prepare them for inflation. It must remain secured on the mounting machine while adding air into the tyres. Afterwards, the Tasker will inflate the wheels while rotating until the tyre beads are pressed firmly against the wheel rim.
New Tyre Checking
Wheel balancing weights will be installed on the rims to detect any tyre imbalance. This process will compensate for potential dangers of driving with improperly fitted tyres. Apart from that, the thread depth will also be checked to make sure it’s neither under- or over-inflated.
