Project Overview

We were booked to assist a customer who had purchased his own set of wheels and needed them fitting to his orange Peugeot 308, registration OU65. He preferred not to visit a garage and wanted the convenience of a professional mobile service carried out at his home. Our goal was to complete the full wheel swap quickly, safely, and with the same standard expected from a workshop — without the customer having to leave the house.

Scope of Works

On arrival, we inspected the customer-supplied wheels to ensure they were compatible with the Peugeot 308’s fitting specifications. We then raised the vehicle using professional-grade equipment, removed the existing wheels, and installed the new set with correct torque settings. Tyre pressures were adjusted precisely, and we completed a final visual inspection to ensure all four wheels were seated and secure.

Throughout the visit, we talked the customer through the process and advised on ongoing tyre care.

Challenges and Solutions

Compatibility Checks: We verified the wheel offsets, bolt pattern, and centre bore before installation, ensuring a perfect match.
Driveway Space: The working area was tight, so we positioned equipment carefully to maintain full safety and access.
Customer-Supplied Condition: Each wheel was inspected for defects, balancing issues, or potential safety concerns before fitting.
Vehicle Safety: After installation, we carried out torque and pressure checks to guarantee correct road handling.

Client Experience

The customer appreciated being able to use his own wheels while still receiving a professional installation. He was pleased with the efficiency of the service and noted how convenient it was not having to travel back and forth to a garage. The reassurance of having everything fitted and safety-checked on-site gave him total confidence in the result.

Outcome

The orange Peugeot 308 (OU65) was fitted with the customer’s chosen wheels professionally, safely, and without inconvenience. The job was completed within the scheduled timeframe, and the customer was able to drive immediately with a fresh, upgraded look and fully compliant installation.
