A BRANCH of a national tyre fitting company has launched a new mobile service in Winchester.

Hometyre now provides full tyre fitting and repair facilities to both homes and workplaces in Winchester, Alresford, Basingstoke and Alton and north hampshire.

The franchise was set up by Albert Padoin, a former accounts manager for an electrical security firm.

“Travelling to a fixed site for tyres is now a thing of the past,” he said. “We travel to customers. It’s more convenient for motorists and allows us to pass on the benefits of lower running costs.”
