About this job
Many BC highways require winter tires (M+S or the mountain/snowflake symbol, at least 3.5 mm of tread) from October 1 to April 30. Your mechanic swaps your pre-mounted set of four, torques the wheel nuts to spec, sets the pressures and checks tread depth and condition.
This price is for tires already mounted on their own rims. If your tires need to be mounted and balanced onto rims, book Tire mount and balance instead. You supply the tires.
Signs you might need it
- Winter tire season is coming (from October 1)
- Spring – time to go back to summer or all-season tires
- You have a second set of wheels in storage
What's included
- Remove and fit four wheels
- Torque wheel nuts to spec
- Set tire pressures (and TPMS check where fitted)
- Tread depth and damage check
- Reminder to re-torque after 50–100 km
Plus travel (mobile), disposal of old parts. Confirm the mechanic's warranty before booking.

Questions about winter tire changeover (on rims)
How long does winter tire changeover (on rims) take?
Usually about 45 minutes. Your mechanic will tell you if your vehicle needs longer.
Can it be done at my home?
In most cases, yes. Mobile mechanics need a safe, level place where they're allowed to work, such as a driveway, carport or quiet street (check your strata rules). If your job needs a shop we'll let you know before you pay anything.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. The price on your quote is what you pay. If the mechanic finds something else, they'll explain it and give you a separate price – nothing extra is done without your OK.
Is the work guaranteed?
Confirm your mechanic's parts and labour warranty before booking. See our warranty and repair concerns page for more information.
