Mobile Tire Installation Ottawa | Barrhaven Towing
Mobile tire installation in Ottawa is the service that pulls your shop visit out of the equation. Barrhaven Towing drives the truck, the jack, and the tools to your driveway or office lot and fits the tires there. Call (613) 619-4545 to book a seasonal swap or new tire fitting across the Ottawa-Gatineau area.
If you already have winters on rims sitting in the garage, this is a 45 minute job. If you bought a fresh set of tires and need them mounted, balanced, and installed, we plan that around your schedule and your address.
Seasonal tire change at your home or office
Ottawa winters demand winter tires and Ontario rules push hard on it. Most Barrhaven and Nepean drivers swap over in early November when overnight temps dip below 7 degrees. Spring swaps usually happen mid April once the salt is mostly gone from local roads.
If you already have the second set mounted on their own rims, the seasonal tire change is straightforward. The tech jacks the car, removes the current four, mounts the seasonals, torques to spec, and confirms TPMS sensors are reading. Most cars are done in 45 minutes.
What we cover during mobile tire change calls
Winter tire installation in NovemberStudded or studless. Snow rated tires from Bridgestone, Michelin, Goodyear, and others.
Summer swap back in AprilAll season or performance summer set back on the car once the road salt is gone.
New tire mounting and balancingBring the set or have them shipped to your driveway. We mount, balance, and install on site.
On-site tire installation for fleets and offices
We work with property managers, fleet operators, and offices in Kanata, the Merivale corridor, and downtown Ottawa. A truck arrives at the parking lot, sets up by the vehicle, and the swap happens during the workday. Drivers do not lose hours sitting at a shop.
For larger fleets we schedule a route over a few days. One truck, multiple vehicles, same address. The math is simple. The downtime is minimal.
Heads up
After a tire fitting it is normal to feel a small change in steering. Re-torque the lugs after 100 km of driving as a safety habit. We will tell you whether to come back for a free re-check or to drop into a partner shop nearby.
What to have ready before we arrive
Make sure the tires are on your property and accessible. If they are still in the garage or on a balcony, give yourself five minutes to roll them out to the driveway. The tech does not need to walk through the house.
Park the car on a flat surface. Driveways in Barrhaven and Findlay Creek slope toward the street. That is fine. We use wheel chocks. The truck needs about 10 feet of clearance beside the car for the jack and the impact gun.

Why mobile tire change beats the shop wait
Every November, tire shops in Ottawa fill their schedules a week or two out. Drivers wait in line on Merivale Rd at 7 a.m. or block off a Saturday at a shop in Hunt Club. Mobile tire change Ottawa skips all of that.
You stay in your kitchen with a coffee. We do the work in the driveway. The tech knocks on the door when the keys go back in the tray and the lugs are torqued.
Important
Winter tires are a real safety item, not a marketing add on. Highway 416 and 417 lanes turn to ice quickly when an Ottawa cold front rolls through. Get the swap done before the first heavy snow, not after.
