Mobile tyres and recovery in PO21 (Bognor Regis)

Salt is what makes this district different. Cars in Bognor Regis live within a few hundred yards of the sea, they are parked on the front for weeks at a time, and the corrosion works quietly on wheel rims, valve stems and the bead seat where the tyre meets the wheel.

The second thing is the season. From late spring the seafront parking, the pier and the holiday traffic fill every road behind the front, and a job that takes twenty minutes in February takes considerably longer in July.

The A259 along the coast

The A259 is the spine of this district, running behind the seafront and linking Bognor Regis east and west. It is a busy single carriageway with traffic lights, parked cars and side turnings, and in summer it queues for most of the day.

Behind it the residential grid at Aldwick, Rose Green and North Bersted is wide and easy to work in. Pagham and Nyetimber sit at the end of lanes towards the harbour, quieter but with poor lighting and few road signs. The seafront itself is the hardest place for us to work simply because there is nowhere legal to leave a van.

The PO21 places on our list

We come out to Aldwick, Bognor Regis, Bognor Regis Pier, Butlin's Bognor Regis, Hotham Park, North Bersted, Nyetimber, Pagham and Rose Green.

If your car is on the seafront, a nearby side road is usually a better place for us to work than the promenade parking.

Questions we get asked about PO21

My alloys are corroding and the tyres keep going down.
That is the classic coastal problem. Corrosion on the bead seat stops the tyre sealing against the rim, so it leaks slowly with no puncture to find. We can break the bead, clean the seat back and reseal it, which usually fixes it properly.
Can you fit tyres on the seafront in summer?
We can attend, but parking a van legally on the front in August is the hard part. If you can move the car into a side road or a car park behind the seafront, the job goes much faster and we are not blocking anyone.
Are you actually local to Bognor Regis?
No, and we will not pretend to be. We work out of Cobham in Surrey and this district is the far edge of our range. We come out here, but you should expect a wait that matches the distance rather than a local response.
