Tire Installation: Tyre fitters mount new tires onto rims and install them onto vehicles. This involves removing the old tires, inspecting the rims for damage, fitting the new tires onto the rims, and inflating them to the recommended pressure. Tire Replacement: They assess the condition of tires and determine whether replacement is necessary. If tires are worn out, damaged, or punctured beyond repair, they remove the old tires and replace them with new ones. Wheel Balancing: Tyre fitters use wheel balancing machines to ensure that the weight distribution of the tire and wheel assembly is even. They add or remove counterweights as needed to eliminate vibrations and ensure smooth rotation. Wheel Alignment: While tyre fitters may not perform wheel alignment themselves, they may assist in the process by preparing the vehicle and ensuring that the wheels are properly positioned for alignment. They may also inform customers about the importance of wheel alignment and recommend alignment services when necessary. Tire Repair: In addition to replacing tires, tyre fitters may also perform minor tire repairs, such as patching punctures or repairing small sidewall damage. They use specialized tools and materials to complete these repairs safely and effectively. Customer Service: Tyre fitters interact with customers to understand their tire needs, provide recommendations based on vehicle specifications and driving habits, and address any questions or concerns they may have. They strive to provide excellent customer service and ensure customer satisfaction. Tire Inspection: Before installing or replacing tires, tyre fitters inspect tires for signs of wear, damage, or irregularities. They check tread depth, tire pressure, sidewall condition, and overall tire integrity to ensure that tires meet safety standards and manufacturer specifications. Maintaining Equipment: Tyre fitters are responsible for maintaining and calibrating tire fitting equipment, such as tire changers, wheel balancers, and alignment machines, to ensure accurate and efficient operation. Safety Compliance: They adhere to safety protocols and procedures to prevent accidents and injuries in the workplace. This includes following proper lifting techniques, using personal protective equipment, and observing safety guidelines when working with tires and equipment. Documentation: Tyre fitters maintain accurate records of tire installations, replacements, repairs, and customer transactions. They may also document tire specifications, tread patterns, and warranty information for future reference. Overall, tyre fitters play a crucial role in ensuring the safety, performance, and longevity of vehicle tires. Their expertise in tire fitting, balancing, and maintenance helps drivers maintain optimal traction, handling, and fuel efficiency on the road.
