Winter tire swap at your door
Switching between winter and all-season or summer tires twice a year doesn't have to mean a morning in a waiting room. Book a seasonal tire swap online and a verified local garage comes to your driveway or parking spot to change them over.
This service is for tires that are already mounted on their own rims (wheels), which is the most common setup for winter tires (or tyres) in Canada. If your tires need to be taken off one set of rims and mounted on another, that's a different job and isn't covered here.

What's included
- Your current wheels come off and your other set goes on
- Wheel nuts tightened to your vehicle's specification
- Tire pressures set to the levels on your door-jamb sticker
- A look over tread and sidewalls, so you know if a set is close to the end of its life
When to put winter tires on
- A common rule of thumb in Canada is to put winter tires on once temperatures stay at or below 7°C. Below that, all-season rubber hardens and loses grip.
- In Quebec, winter tires are required by law from December 1 to March 15.
- In Ontario, insurance companies are required to offer a discount to drivers who use winter tires, so it's worth asking your insurer.
- Book early in the fall and spring: changeover season is the busiest time of year for garages.

Frequently asked questions
Do my tires need to be on rims already?
Yes. This service swaps complete wheels (tires already mounted on rims). Mounting tires onto rims needs shop equipment and isn't part of this booking.
Where does the swap happen?
At the address you choose when you book, such as your driveway or a parking spot where it's safe and allowed to work on a car.
Should the wheel nuts be checked afterwards?
It's good practice to have wheel nuts re-checked after the first 50 to 100 km on newly installed wheels.
How do I recognise a winter tire?
Look for the three-peak mountain and snowflake symbol on the sidewall. Tires marked only "M+S" are not winter tires.
How does booking work?
Pick a service, add your vehicle and the address where it's parked, and choose a time. Appointments start from the next day, between 8 AM to 8 PM, up to 60 days ahead.
Who does the work?
Your booking is matched with the nearest available garage that has been reviewed and approved by Wheeley Now. The garage confirms the job, and you can follow its progress in the app.
When do I pay, and can I cancel?
You see the full price before you pay. Scheduled bookings can be cancelled or rescheduled for free until 24 hours before the start time.
