Mobile Tire Service
Your friendly neighborhood tire swapper
No call centres, no waiting room, no free coffee that tastes like a tire. Just a person with a torque wrench who shows up in your driveway, swaps your tires, and leaves you with your Saturday back. I serve Glenmore, Rutland, the Mission and the rest of Kelowna and the Central Okanagan. And we'll come to your door.
This is a small, local, one-person operation in Kelowna from the folks behind Jahkaz Originals. When you book, you are booking me. I answer the messages, I turn the wrenches, and I am the one who double-checks your lug nuts before I wave goodbye.
Meet your neighbourhood tire swapper
It is just me - one local person with a truck full of wrenches, serving Kelowna and the Central Okanagan. I have been swapping tires for family, friends and the neighbours for years, and enough of them told me to make it official. I bring the impact wrenches, the floor jacks, the torque wrench and the saws. You bring the tires and, if you are feeling generous, a wave from the window.
Book with the form at the bottom of this page, or email me at jahkazoriginals@gmail.com.
What I can help with
- Seasonal tire swaps - summers off and winters on in the fall, the reverse in spring. Your second set needs to be on rims already.
- Tire rotations - front to back, or whatever pattern your vehicle likes, so the rubber wears evenly and lasts longer.
- Handyman odd jobs - the little repairs, cutting, fitting, assembling and mounting that have been on the fridge list since spring.
How it works
- Send me a note with the form below. Tell me your vehicle, your tire size and where it is parked.
- I get back to you personally, by email or text, to settle a time and a price. No surprises.
- I come to you - driveway, garage or parking stall - with everything I need.
- I do it properly. The impact wrench gets the nuts off, but every lug nut goes back on by hand with a torque wrench to your vehicle's spec. Pressures get set for the season.
- Re-check. After your first 50 to 100 km, the lug nuts should get a quick re-torque. I will show you how, or swing back if I am nearby.
Where I go
Kelowna and the Central Okanagan: Glenmore, Rutland, the Mission, Lower Mission, Dilworth, the North End, Lake Country and West Kelowna. A little outside that - send a note anyway. If I can make the drive, I will.

Lifted trucks, oversized tires, lost locking lug nut keys, seized studs and dually wheels get a quick look and an honest quote on the spot.
What you supply
- Your seasonal set already mounted on rims. I swap complete wheels.
- Your locking lug nut key, if your vehicle has one. It is usually in the glovebox or under the trunk floor.
- A flat, safe spot to work - a driveway, garage, or a stall where jacking up a vehicle is allowed.
Not offered (yet): mounting or balancing tires on and off rims, flat repairs, or new tire sales.
Winter tires in BC
From October 1 to March 31, winter tires or chains are required on most designated BC highways, and on routes through mountain passes and high snowfall areas the season runs to April 30. A legal winter tire has at least 3.5 mm of tread and is marked M+S or carries the three-peaked mountain and snowflake symbol. The province recommends the mountain and snowflake tire for cold weather driving. Summer tires are not allowed on signed highways during those months. The official rules and route maps are at gov.bc.ca.
Book your fall swap early. Late October to mid November, everybody remembers at once.
Good to know
You do not need to be home. As long as the vehicle and the tires are reachable and we sorted access ahead of time, I can get it done while you are at work.
A swap takes about 30 to 45 minutes per vehicle. Longer if I stop to pet the dog.
I check as I go. Tread depth and any obvious damage get noted while the wheels are off, and I will tell you straight before you hit the highway.
Rain is fine. Lightning and unsafe ground are not. If the weather or the spot is not safe, we pick another day.
Tire storage - not offered for now, so your off-season set stays with you.
Payment - due when the job is done and you are happy. I will confirm the payment options when I reply to your booking.
