Tyre Fitting

If your tyres are worn, damaged or approaching the legal limit, it’s important to replace them promptly. We can source and fit tyres to suit your budget and driving needs, from everyday road tyres to premium brands.

Some tyres may need to be ordered in, so please contact us to discuss the size and specification required. We’ll confirm availability and book you in as quickly as possible at our Howden-Le-Wear garage, convenient for drivers in Howden-le-Wear, Weardale and Bishop Auckland.

All tyres are professionally fitted, balanced and checked before you leave.

Puncture Repairs

A puncture doesn’t always mean you need a brand-new tyre. In many cases, if the damage is within a repairable area and meets safety standards, we can carry out a safe and effective repair.

Our team will carefully assess the tyre and advise you honestly. If it can be repaired, we’ll get you back on the road quickly and cost-effectively. If replacement is required, we’ll explain why and provide clear pricing before any work begins.

Wheel Alignment

Incorrect wheel alignment can cause uneven tyre wear, poor handling and reduced fuel efficiency. Over time, it can significantly shorten the life of your tyres.

At Howden Automotive in County Durham, we check alignment whenever new tyres are fitted and recommend adjustments where needed. Proper alignment helps your vehicle drive straight, improves safety and protects your investment in new tyres.

Wheel Balancing

Wheel balancing ensures your tyres rotate evenly, giving you a smoother, more comfortable drive. If your wheels are out of balance, you may notice vibration through the steering wheel or uneven tyre wear.

We recommend regular balancing, particularly if you cover high mileage around Crook, Weardale and Bishop Auckland. All tyres fitted at our workshop are balanced as standard to maximise tyre lifespan and driving comfort.

TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)

Modern vehicles are fitted with a TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System), which monitors the air pressure in your tyres and alerts you if levels drop below a safe limit. This is an important safety feature that helps prevent tyre failure, improves fuel efficiency and ensures optimal performance.

If your TPMS sensor is faulty or needs replacing when fitting new tyres, we can supply and fit a new sensor for £70 + VAT. Our technicians will ensure the system is correctly set up and working as it should before you leave.
