story by: Peter Burroughes Communications 07 June 2010 Now you can have new tyres fitted to your car at work or at home
 
A new service that should appeal to Johannesburg motorists has been launched by two enterprising local businessmen. 
 
Tyres in Transit offers the busy, time-constrained motorist the convenience of ordering new tyres over the telephone and having them fitted and balanced at work or at home.  Apart from saving the motorist time and the hassle of having to make an appointment and drive across town to a tyre fitment centre, and then wait while the tyres are fitted and balanced, Tyres in Transit also offers a cash saving of up to 20% on the price of the new tyres. 
 
As a mobile fitment operation, with a fully-equipped state-of-the-art fitment van, Tyres in Transit saves on the cost of a depot and fitment centre overheads.  With operating costs substantially lower than the conventional fitment centre, the benefits are passed on to the customer, who can save up to 30% on the entire job.  All makes of tyre to fit all popular makes of car can be ordered.
 
The Tyres in Transit van is equipped with the latest and most sophisticated equipment available.  This includes a tyre-changing machine that is capable of handling all tyre types and sizes without any damage to the vehicle’s rims.  Digital wheel balancing equipment ensures a perfect balance every time and rubberised jacks ensure that the vehicle’s underbody is not damaged.  An onboard generator and compressor allow for fitment at any location to suit the customer.  This means that if the motorist is in town visiting and staying with friends or at an hotel, Tyres in Transit can be of service and save the motorist a lot of inconvenience.
 
Tyres in Transit can be contacted on 082 909 TYRE (8973) or via e-mail at info@tyresintransit.co.za or visit their website www.tyresintransit.co.za.   
 
Tyres in Transit is owned by Kieren Quarmby and Kenneth Panayiotides.  Quarmby is a leading competitor in class T of the Bridgestone Production Car Championship and drives a VW Golf GTi sponsored by Interfile and Tyres in Transit. 
 
Here are some satisfied customer testimonials:
 
“Tyres in Transit is easy to communicate with to arrange your order and they do a good job.” Richard Jackson
 
“I am very happy with the service that Tyres in Transit have provided me.  They are both efficient and outstanding; I would recommend them to anyone with a tyre problem.  They do a neat and clean job without you having to leave the office, which is a big help to me as a busy person.” Calvin Benetar
 
“I’m a first-year university student in Johannesburg and my wheels are vital for my daily commute to campus.  So when I burst my tyre on a Sunday afternoon, I thought my week’s timetable was completely jeopardised.  A mate gave me the Tyres in Transit number, I called and my tyre was effortlessly changed before my 10 o’clock lecture on Monday morning.” Ryan Baker
 
“I ordered a set of tyres and rims from Tyres in Transit with ease.  I was happy with their service and impressed with their van’s machinery.” Isham
