With over 34.2% of households in Western Sydney owning at least one car, (and 18.7% owning three cars or more) it makes sense that tyre repair services are in high demand in the region.
To service the volume of vehicles, there’s a scattering of tyre repair shops in Western Sydney, however many are in locations that aren’t easily accessible by public transport. So, if you need to drop your car off for a tyre repair or replacement, you’re faced with the task of finding transport to and from the repair shop, as well as paying for the expense. A popular alternative is mobile tyre services, where the service comes to you.

Let’s talk about some of the tyre services available at your location of choice in the Western Sydney suburbs.
Tyre puncture repairs in Blacktown
Have a puncture in the Blacktown area? Inner western suburbs of Sydney are prime locations for building development, and with this, comes an increased likelihood of tyre punctures. Construction zones and inner west car parks are renowned for the damage they can do to tyres. Things like old nails, screws, broken glass and other debris can become lodged in your tyres, and if the items aren’t promptly removed, they can become embedded in tyres, causing damage.
Hence, if you notice a foreign object stuck in your tyres, it’s well worth contacting Jim’s Mobile Tyres for a swift tyre puncture repair in Blacktown and surrounds.
How do you know if your tyre can be repaired? In short, a tyre can be fixed if:
- the puncture or hole is no more than 6 mm in diameter
- the puncture is located within the central three-quarters width of the tyre
- there’s no damage to the sidewall or shoulders of the tyre, and
- the tyre hasn’t been previously repaired in the same location.
If you’re not sure if your tyre is repairable, a Jim’s Mobile Tyres technician can assess the damage and let you know if repair is feasible, or if a replacement is a better idea. In addition to doing the above checks, our tyre specialists will also check your tyre tread hasn’t worn past the tread indicators. If it has, regardless of whether or not repair is possible, we’ll recommend a tyre replacement, which we can also do conveniently at your chosen location.

Tyre pressure checks in Campbelltown
Having the right tyre pressure is vital when it comes to fuel economy and vehicle handling. Not only will appropriately inflated tires make for a smoother drive and better ability to stop at short notice, but they are also less likely to blow out.
When deciding on the right tyre pressure, you need to consider the average speeds you travel at, whether or not you are carrying or towing a heavy load, and the terrain you’re driving on (rough, muddy and uneven surfaces generally require lower pressure and driving at high speeds and carrying heavy loads, higher pressure).
You also need to follow the recommendations in your vehicle’s owner manual, as tyre pressure requirements vary vehicle to vehicle.
Checking your tyre pressure at least monthly is recommended. It’s fairly easy to do at your local service station. Use the tyre pressure gauge to do top ups or reduce pressure. (Your driver-side door jamb usually has a sticker that notes down the right tyre pressure, but if this is absent, check your owner’s manual.)
Alternatively, get Jim’s Mobile Tyres in Campbelltown and surrounds to do a tyre pressure check for you! A tyre pressure check is included in all of our service options. In addition to checking pressure, we’ll check your tyres for wear and damage, and let you know if they need a rotation any time soon.
Tyre rotations in Marrickville
Few of us think about when it’s the right time to have our tyres rotated, if we even think about tyre rotations at all. But rotating tyres periodically is an important part of ensuring better traction and grip on the road.
Why do tyres need to be rotated?
Our front and rear tyres serve their own unique function, are under different levels of pressure, and wear at different rates. In addition, parts of a tyre may wear out in unique places, depending on how you drive, your driving surface, and whether or not your wheels are correctly aligned. To ensure even wear on tyre tread and prolong the life of your tyres, it helps to rotate our tyres.
What are the signs your tyres need rotating?
Firstly, tyres should be rotated when they have driven approximately 10,000 km. Other than keeping tabs on how far they’ve travelled, check for the following:
- Uneven tyre wear patterns
- Vibrating steering wheel
- Noisy tyres on a smooth road
- You’ve driven long journeys at high speeds or carried heavy loads.
See our tyre rotation page for more information.
Jim’s Mobile Tyres in Marrickville can come to your chosen location and do a full assessment of your tyres, before performing a tyre rotation if required. We also look out for signs of wheel misalignment, so that you can get that sorted out at your garage before your tyres are further impacted. Ongoing, we send you reminders for when your tyres are due for their next rotation, as well as doing all the usual pressure, tread and age checks on your tyres.
