Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• are you insured for mobile tyre work on trailers and do you have public liability cover
• do you carry the tyre sizes and equipment for my trailer or will you need to order parts
• what is included in the call-out fee and are labour and materials charged separately
• do you dispose of old tyres and is there an extra disposal charge
• do you offer a warranty on repairs or new tyres and what does it cover
• are there extra charges for roadside, motorway or restricted-access locations
How to Avoid Surprises
• park trailer on level, firm ground and chock wheels if possible
• clear access around the affected wheel and move obstacles that obstruct a mobile van
• check for locking wheel nuts or security devices and have keys/adapter ready
• confirm payment method, expected arrival window and whether you need permission for roadside work
• tell the tradie about tight spaces, low bridges or site rules that affect where they can park
