No stock on the shelf. Every tyre on the market.

We do not hold tyre stock, and that is deliberate. As a Black Circles fitting partner we can fit almost any brand and size, from premium names to dependable budget options, without you being limited to what a garage happens to have in. You choose and pay online, the tyres are delivered to our workshop, and we fit them at the time you booked. Already got a slow puncture or a vibration at speed? We can sort that too.

Tyre Services

Everything your tyres need

One workshop for fitting, repairs and the jobs that keep tyres lasting longer.

Fit

Tyre Fitting

New tyres for cars, vans and 4x4s, fitted on a modern tyre changer that protects alloy wheels and tyre beads.

Repair

Puncture Repairs

Small tread punctures repaired properly from the inside, where the damage and the tyre condition make it safe to do so.

Smooth

Wheel Balancing

Computerised balancing on every new tyre, or on its own to cure steering wheel shake at motorway speeds.

Check

Valves, TPMS & Checks

New valves with every tyre, tyre pressure sensor checks, tread depth and condition checks, and locking wheel nut removal.

Our Equipment

Brand new fitting & balancing machinery

Low profile tyres, run flats and large diameter alloys are easy to damage with old equipment. Our tyre fitting and wheel balancing machines are brand new, so the tyre goes on cleanly, the wheel stays unmarked and the balance is spot on.

Straight Answers

Tyre questions, answered

No, and that works in your favour. We are a Black Circles fitting partner, so rather than choosing from whatever happens to be on our shelf, you can pick from virtually every tyre brand and size on the market. Order online, choose Bedford Automotive as your fitting centre, and the tyres are delivered to us ready for your appointment.

Search for your tyres on the Black Circles website using your registration or tyre size, select Bedford Automotive in Shefford as your fitting centre, then pick a date and time. Your tyres are delivered to our workshop before you arrive and we fit them while you wait.

Yes. We fit tyres to cars, vans, light commercials, 4x4s and SUVs, including larger alloy wheels and low profile and run flat tyres. If you are unsure whether your vehicle is covered, give us a call on 01234 237669.

It depends on where the damage is and how big it is. Small punctures in the central part of the tread can usually be repaired safely. Damage to the sidewall or shoulder, or a tyre that has been driven on flat, means it needs replacing. We will inspect it and tell you honestly which applies.

Yes. Every new tyre is balanced on our digital wheel balancer as part of the fitting. We also balance wheels on their own if you are feeling a vibration through the steering wheel at motorway speeds.

It is a very good idea. Fitting new tyres to a car that is out of alignment will wear them out early. We have four-wheel alignment equipment at the same workshop, so it can be done in the same visit.

I had an urgent issue with my Golf, which turned out to be tyre related, rather than bearings. A test drive confirmed this. The owner refused to bill me for his time and told me how to check bearings for myself. Very imp…
