Find a professional tyre fitting service in Outer East Melbourne

Technically, anyone can fit a tyre given that they have the necessary tools like jack stands, new tyres, and a mounting machine, among others. However, if done incorrectly, things can go awry pretty quickly and lead to costly repairs in the long run. Driving with a poorly fitted tyre can also potentially put your life at risk, so it's best to leave the job at the hands of a professional from Airtasker! We can help you get your tyres conveniently fitted by a skilled mechanic whenever the need arises. This way, you don't have to drive all the way to repair shops or get your hands dirty by doing the task yourself. Here's what you can expect from our tyre-fitting service:

Removing the Old Tyre

The old tyre must first be deflated to remove the old damaged rubber. When releasing the inflation, the valve core will be detached using a removal tool for the air to escape. Once it becomes light and deflated, 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

We can help you ensure that your new tyres match the size of your existing rims, as well as the make and model of your car. It will be inspected to determine if it needs cleaning, minor adjustments, or replacements to prevent any potential driving problems. It will also keep you from getting further repairs done on your newly fitted tyre.

Tyre Fitting and Inflating

Before mounting the new tyres, the rim seats and tyre beads will be lubricated inside and out to make sure that they will fit seamlessly. A tyre spreader will be used 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. Your specialist will then 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. The tread depth will be checked as well to ensure that it is not under-or over-inflated.
