Driven by Passion, Powered by Experience: The Story Behind ABS Tyres
How 15+ years of hands-on expertise grew into the South Coast’s most reliable, 24/7 independent mobile tyre rescue service.
Bringing Personal Service Back to Emergency Tyre Care
Breaking down on the side of a busy motorway or finding a flat tyre right before the school run is stressful enough. But for years, stranded drivers on the South Coast had to deal with a frustrating reality: calling massive, national tyre companies and being stuck on hold for ages.
Too often, motorists were forced to wait 3+ hours on cold hard shoulders, deal with hidden roadside fees, or speak to call-centre operators reading from a script hundreds of miles away.
We knew there had to be a better way.
ABS Tyres was founded on a simple mission: to provide instant, direct, and honest mobile tyre rescue. When you call us, you don’t get routed through a distant switchboard. You speak directly to the expert technician who will be driving the van to your location. This direct line of communication means faster dispatch times, accurate arrival estimates, and total transparency on pricing.
15+ Years of Hands-On Automotive & Tyre Expertise
Behind every fast dispatch and safe roadside repair is our CEO and Lead Technician, Abu Bakar. With over 15 years of hands-on experience in the automotive and tyre industry, Abu Bakar has built a reputation for precision, safety, and unwavering reliability.
He understands that modern vehicles require modern expertise. Whether you drive a standard family hatchback, a heavy-duty commercial van, or a high-torque Electric Vehicle (EV) that requires specific jacking points, your vehicle is in safe, highly experienced hands.
More importantly, Abu Bakar is a problem solver. Known across the South Coast for tackling the roadside headaches that other mobile fitters walk away from—such as safely extracting lost, rounded, or damaged locking wheel nuts without scratching expensive alloy wheels—he ensures that when ABS Tyres arrives, you get moving again.
Us vs. The National Chains
Why trust a local, independent specialist? Because when you are stranded on the side of the M27 in the pouring rain, agility and speed matter more than corporate branding. Here is how our one-to-one service stacks up against the massive national fleets:
| Feature | ABS Tyres (Independent Specialist) | National Chain Competitors |
|---|---|---|
| Response Time | 45–60 Minutes (Direct local dispatch) | 2–4 Hours (Routed through central hubs) |
| Who You Speak To | Directly to the technician (Abu Bakar) | Call centre operator reading a script |
| Pricing | 100% Upfront & Transparent | Frequent surprise "roadside call-out" fees |
| Specialist Capabilities | Locking nut removal & EV-ready jacks | Often turn down complex roadside jobs |
State-of-the-Art Technology on Wheels
Being a mobile service doesn’t mean compromising on garage-level quality. We’ve invested heavily in equipping our vans to function as complete, cutting-edge tyre workshops that come directly to your driveway, workplace, or roadside location.
Precision Wheel Balancing
We don’t just fit the tyre and leave. Our vans are equipped with dynamic mobile wheel balancing machines to ensure a perfectly smooth ride with zero steering vibration.
EV-Safe Equipment
Electric vehicles are heavier and have highly sensitive battery chassis. We carry specialized low-profile jacking equipment designed specifically to lift EVs safely without causing undercarriage damage.
Heavy-Duty Extraction Gear
Lost your locking wheel nut key? Don’t panic. We carry custom extraction sockets and specialist tools to safely remove rounded or missing nuts on the spot, saving your expensive alloys.
Mobile Payment Processing
You never need to hunt for a cash machine in the dark. We carry secure on-board card readers supporting Apple Pay, Google Pay, Contactless, and all major debit/credit cards for stress-free roadside transactions.
The Promises We Make to Every Customer
Safety First, Always
We never cut corners on safe jacking, wheel torquing, or puncture assessments. If a tyre can be safely and legally repaired, we’ll do it to save you money. If it must be replaced, we ensure it’s fitted flawlessly.

Tyre blowouts don’t stick to 9-to-5 business hours, and neither do we. Whether it’s 2:00 PM on a Tuesday or 3:00 AM on a Bank Holiday Sunday, our emergency dispatch line is always active and ready to help.
