What the Service Includes

Safety Checks After Fitting
Once the wheel is installed, we carry out essential safety checks, including tightening verification and a basic visual inspection, to ensure you can continue your journey confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a roadside wheel change take?
In most cases, a wheel change can be completed within 15–30 minutes of our technician’s arrival. Timing may vary depending on location, road conditions, and the vehicle’s condition.
Do I need to have a spare wheel for the service?
Yes, ideally your vehicle should have a spare wheel or space-saver tyre available. If you don’t have one or it isn’t safe to use, AutoShift Recovery can arrange vehicle recovery to a garage or preferred destination.
Is it safer to call for assistance than to change a wheel myself?
Yes. Changing a wheel at the roadside can be dangerous, especially on busy roads or in poor weather. Our trained technicians use professional tools and safe procedures to reduce risk and ensure the wheel is fitted correctly.
