One of the most common questions we hear from North Shore drivers is: how much does it cost to have someone come to me and change my tires? It’s a fair question — and the answer might surprise you. Mobile tire service is more affordable than most people expect, especially when you factor in the time and hassle you save.
Here’s a complete, transparent breakdown of what mobile tire changes cost in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Deep Cove, Lynn Valley, and Lions Bay.
The Tire Valet Pricing: No Hidden Fees
We keep our pricing simple. What you see is what you pay — no shop fees, no environmental levies, no surprises on the bill.
- Seasonal Tire Swap (On Rim): $120 — Your winter and summer tires are already mounted on separate rims. We remove one set and install the other. This is the most common service.
- Seasonal Tire Change (Off Rim): $200 — Your tires need to be dismounted from one set of rims and the other set mounted on. Includes balancing.
- Mobile Tire Repair: Starting at $150 — Flat tire? Nail or screw puncture? We come to you and fix it on the spot when possible.
All prices include travel to anywhere on the North Shore, labour, and professional torquing to manufacturer specifications.
How Does This Compare to a Tire Shop?
A typical tire shop in North Vancouver charges $80–$120 for an on-rim seasonal swap. Sounds cheaper on paper, right? But consider the hidden costs:
- Your time: Driving to the shop, waiting 1–2 hours, driving home. That’s half your Saturday gone.
- Shop fees: Many shops add environmental fees ($5–15) and shop supply charges ($10–20) that aren’t in the quoted price.
- Upselling: It’s common to be told you need an alignment, new brake pads, or a fluid flush while you’re there.
- Booking delays: During peak season (October–November and March–April), wait times at North Shore tire shops can stretch to 2–3 weeks.
With mobile service, we come to your driveway. You save the drive, the wait, and the hassle. For most families, the small price difference pays for itself in convenience alone.
