Getting new tyres fitted should be quick and easy. At Southport Budget Tyres & Auto we have been fitting tyres for Gold Coast drivers since 1994, and the jobs that run smoothest are the ones where the customer has a few details sorted before they get here. None of it is hard. Here is what helps.

Steps to Get Ready for Tyre Fitting on the Gold Coast
Before you head to our workshop at 37 Egerton Street, Southport, a few minutes of prep saves time at the counter:
- Know your tyre size. It is printed on the sidewall and looks something like 205/55R16 91V. Take a photo of it on your phone.
- Find your locking wheel nut key. If your car has locking nuts, the key is usually in the glovebox or with the jack. Bring it with you.
- Clear out the boot. If the spare or the jack sits under the boot floor, an empty boot makes it easy to get to.
- Drive in or call ahead. You can drive in any time we are open to talk to the team about what you need, but it is best to call ahead on (07) 5527 0004 so we can tell you how quickly we can fit you in.
If you know your size and have the nut key, you have done the main work. Our team takes care of the rest.

Key Things to Check Before Your Tyre Fitting
It is worth checking a few details before you come in for tyres in Southport, so the right tyre goes on the car first time.
- Check tyre size and profile. Some cars run different sizes on the front and rear. Check all four tyres, not just the one that is worn.
- Look over the wheels. Kerbed, cracked or bent rims can cause slow leaks. Tell us about any damage when you call. Kerbed alloys can be repaired by Rim Rehab, our partner alloy specialists on Ferry Road, Southport.
- Think about how you drive. Mostly around town, long highway runs, towing or the odd beach trip all change which tyre suits you best.
- Bring in other quotes. If you have a written quote from another shop, bring it in. We will beat any genuine written quote on the same tyre.
- Have your payment ready. Sorting this out before you arrive keeps things moving at the end.

Ensuring a Smooth and Fast Tyre Fitting Experience
A few last tips to make your visit easy:
- Confirm the job before work starts. Ask what is being fitted and what the total will be.
- Ask for a receipt. Digital or paper is fine, and it is handy to keep for your records.
- Ask about the rest of the car. We do free tread and pressure checks and free brake checks, so it is a good chance to find out where everything else is at.
- Plan your time. Ask how long the job will take when you call, so you can plan the rest of your day around it.
