At first glance, the job of a mobile tyre technician might seem straightforward: drive to a customer, change the tyre, move on. But in reality, it’s a role packed with variety, technical skill, and customer care. At Falcon Mobile Tyres, based in Southeast London and Kent, our technicians are the heart of the business, working day in and day out to keep local drivers safe and on the road.
Let’s take you behind the scenes and follow a typical day in the life of a Falcon mobile tyre technician, from the morning toolbox check to the last job of the day on a dark country lane.
Table of Contents: A Day in the Life of Falcon’s Mobile Tyre Technicians
6:45 AM Morning Checks & Prep
Every day begins early. Falcon’s vans are mini-workshops on wheels, fully stocked with premium tyres, compressors, hydraulic jacks, TPMS tools, and diagnostics gear. Our mobile tyre technician checks their schedule, inspects equipment, logs into the mobile app, and ensures the van is ready for the day ahead.
“We’re like mobile pit crews,” jokes one of Falcon’s longest-serving team members. “You’ve got to be fast, sharp, and ready for anything, from a VW Polo in Peckham to a BMW X5 on a motorway shoulder.”
8:00 AM – First Call: A Puncture in Bromley
The first job of the day comes through: a Ford Fiesta stranded outside a primary school. The driver hit a kerb on the school run and now has a slow leak. Our technician arrives within 40 minutes, checks the tyre, and gives the customer two options: repair or replace.
“It’s not just about doing the job. It’s about giving people options, explaining things clearly. A lot of drivers feel lost when it comes to tyres, and we’re here to make it easy.”
With the customer’s go-ahead, he fits a new mid-range tyre, balances the wheel, resets the TPMS, and checks all four tyres. In less than 30 minutes, the customer is safely on her way.
9:30 AM – Fleet Check in Lewisham – Mobile Tyre Technicians
Next stop: a scheduled check-up for a small delivery fleet. This is where Falcon’s mobile tyre technician team excels. Routine inspections prevent breakdowns and ensure compliance.
Working in pairs, our mobile tyre technicians inspect 10 vans in 90 minutes, checking tread depth, pressure, and sidewall condition. They log everything on tablets and flag two tyres for same-day replacement.
“It’s proactive work that businesses really appreciate. We’re not just fixing problems, we’re helping avoid them.”
11:15 AM – Emergency Call: Motorway Breakdown on the M25
An urgent call comes in: a family SUV has blown a tyre on the hard shoulder of the M25 near Dartford. Falcon prioritises safety and dispatches a mobile tyre technician with high-vis gear, cones, and hazard lighting.
Our technician arrives within the hour, assesses the damage, and safely replaces the tyre with a matching brand. He double-checks torque and pressure, ensuring the family can continue their holiday without worry.
“It’s high-pressure work, literally. You’re on the side of a motorway, wind whirling, cars flying past. But you stay calm and professional. That’s the Falcon way.”
1:00 PM – Lunch on the Go: Mobile Tyre Technicians in Kent and South East London
There’s rarely a long lunch break. Most techs eat in the van between jobs, grabbing a sandwich and catching up on calls or updating reports. It’s a mobile life, and it takes a certain kind of person to thrive in it.
“You’ve got to be self-sufficient and friendly. You’re representing Falcon out there, so customer service is just as important as your socket wrench.”
2:00 PM – Home Visit in Bexley
An elderly couple booked a tyre change at home via Falcon’s easy online booking system. The mobile tyre technicianarrives on time, parks respectfully, and gets to work.
He replaces both front tyres and gives them advice on how to avoid uneven wear. Before leaving, he checks their spare tyre and inflates it. Although a small gesture, this means a lot.
4:00 PM – Rainy Day Rescue in Greenwich
The skies open just as a driver calls in about a flat in Greenwich Park. The Falcon tech drives through a downpour to find the customer soaked and frustrated. Within 25 minutes, the problem is solved with a cheerful attitude and a fresh tyre.
“He thanked me like I’d rescued him from a shipwreck,” laughs the technician. “But that’s what we’re here for, to make tyre trouble disappear.”
5:30 PM – End-of-Day Stock Check in Orpington
Before heading home, the mobile tyre technician returns to base for a van restock. Used tyres are safely disposed of via certified partners, and the van is refilled for tomorrow.
The tyre technicians usually debrief with the dispatcher, log completed jobs, and review customer feedback.
“We’re proud of the work we do. It’s physical, yes, but it’s also rewarding. You get to solve problems all day and make people’s lives easier.”
More Than Just Tyres: What It Takes to Be a Mobile Tyre Technician
Being a mobile tyre technician isn’t just about tools and tread. It’s about:
