Tyre help for Sconser visitors and Raasay ferry journeys
A tyre problem around Sconser may affect a stay on Skye or a crossing to Raasay. State which island contains the car and where it is parked before discussing the ferry. We assess mobile tyre work at the actual vehicle location, with operator instructions and suitable working space checked before confirming a visit.

Keep Sconser and Raasay separate in the request
CalMac identifies Sconser on Skye’s east coast as the port for Raasay. A ticket or itinerary showing that crossing does not establish which side your car is on. If it remains in Sconser, give the actual parking position; if it has crossed, state that clearly rather than booking a visit against the departure port.
For a car at accommodation, send the property entrance instead of the ferry pin. For a problem near the port, say whether you are in parking, on an approach road or within vehicle operations. A map marker at the slipway is not enough to identify a car and must not be treated as permission for a fitting van to enter.
Discuss the vehicle with ferry staff when necessary
If the tyre problem affects a queue or boarding area, tell ferry staff and follow their instructions about the vehicle. Do not organise work in an operational lane without approval. The tyre booking team needs to know any access restrictions or designated position the operator gives you, as well as whether your car is obstructing other movements.
Check current sailing and travel instructions directly with CalMac. A tyre arrival estimate does not reserve a departure or confirm that assessment and fitting can be completed before boarding. If your plans change, amend the travel arrangements separately. The mobile tyre enquiry does not include a ferry crossing for the fitter or assume attendance on Raasay.
Prepare the tyre request while the plan is checked
Send full sidewall markings, the number of affected tyres and the wheel positions. Mention visible damage and whether the car has been driven after losing pressure. For a hired vehicle, follow the rental provider authorisation process. For a campervan or commercial tyre, include the weight and load markings so the specification and equipment can be assessed.
Keep an authorised person with the key available at the confirmed location. Choose urgent help for an immobilising flat or discuss a planned slot at permitted accommodation parking. A confirmed replacement quotation includes the selected tyre supply and agreed mobile fitting. Availability, suitable working conditions and arrival information are checked for the individual Sconser request before the appointment is accepted.
Good to know
Before you arrange your visit.
Does a Sconser booking cover a vehicle already on Raasay?
Do not assume that. Tell the team which island contains the car so attendance and travel requirements can be assessed before any appointment is accepted.
Can the fitting be guaranteed before the next ferry?
Share the sailing plan, but the job and arrival information need individual confirmation. Speak to the ferry operator separately about boarding and changed travel arrangements.
