Mobile Fitting Saves Costs

AA Tyre Fitting general manager David Goodyear says that using a mobile tyre fitting service can save a 500-vehicle strong fleet up to £20,000 a year. Estimates suggest that the average hourly cost of employment to a company for a fleet driver is £28.50 and that the average fleet car has 1.

4 tyres replaced every year. On average, a visit to a fast-fit centre to have a tyre change lasts 90 minutes, it is claimed. For a fleet of 500 vehicles, this would cost employers almost £20,000.

“Over a large fleet, that wasted time mounts up and the figures that we have compiled show it to be considerable cost. But it’s a cost that can be saved through mobile fitting. Most tyre replacement can be done by mobile fitters while a driver continues to be productive working in their office, or even relaxing at home during the evening,” he added.
