Vehicle tyre fitting in Kenya
Fit correctly specified tyres using trained personnel and proper equipment.

Workshop verifies exact tyre, wheel, vehicle specifications and condition and owns lifting, mounting, balancing, inflation and manufacturer-prescribed wheel checks. No DIY bead seating, arbitrary pressure/torque or claim that tyre fitting fixes unrelated steering faults.
