Steering wheel cover fitted properly - stretched evenly around your wheel with seams aligned for comfortable grip. Looks factory-fitted and feels great to drive.
### Stop Fighting With Your Steering Wheel Cover
You bought a steering wheel cover for better grip or to protect your wheel. Two hours later you're **still wrestling with it**, hands aching, material bunched up, and the seam's ending up exactly where your thumbs go.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** The secret is working it on gradually from opposite sides, not trying to stretch one section all the way around. Most people do it wrong and give up.

### Why Professional Fitting Matters
There's a big difference between "on" and "on properly":
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong | |--------------|---------------| | Smooth, even coverage | Bunched and wrinkled | | Seams positioned comfortably | Seam right where you grip | | Tight and secure | Slides around as you steer | | Looks factory-fitted | Obviously DIY'd |

### What You Get
**🔧 The Full Service**
I'll stretch your steering wheel cover on evenly, position the seams where they won't catch your thumbs, get it smooth all the way around, and make sure it's tight enough that it won't slip.
**📦 You're Left With** - Professional-looking finish - Comfortable grip in right place - No bunching or wrinkles - Secure fit that won't rotate

### Pricing Guide
| Cover Type | Estimated Time | You'll Pay | |------------|----------------|------------| | Standard stretch cover | 10-15 mins | **£60** |
*£60 minimum charge. Quick job, but it's the callout fee. Best combined with other work.*

What to Expect
### Step 1: Position Check Work out where the seam should sit - usually at 6 o'clock (bottom) so it's not under your normal hand positions. Mark it up. ### Step 2: Gradual Stretch Start at the top, work the cover on gradually from opposite sides. Even tension all the way around. No bunching. ### Step 3: Final Adjustment Once it's on, rotate it to get the seam in the right place, smooth out any wrinkles, make sure it's tight and secure.

Good to Know
> 🚗 **Minimum charge applies** - This is a quick 15-minute job but still £60 minimum. If you've got other small car jobs (sat nav mount, seat covers, sun shades), combine them in one visit and save money. **Leather lace-on covers** - These take 30-45 minutes to lace properly and look much better than stretch covers. Worth the extra time if you want quality. **Size matters** - Make sure you get the right diameter cover for your wheel. Too big = loose and sliding. Too small = impossible to fit. **Comfort upgrade** - A good steering wheel cover improves grip, protects your wheel, and makes driving more comfortable. Worth fitting properly.
Frequently Asked Questions about Steering wheel cover fitting in Exmouth
Why would I need help fitting a steering wheel cover?
Have you ever tried? They're absolute bastards to fit - super tight elastic, material bunching up, seams in the wrong place. Your hands ache after 10 minutes and it still looks wrinkled. I've got the knack and can get one on smooth in 15 minutes.
Do I need to buy the cover first?
Yes - make sure you get one that's the right size for your steering wheel diameter. Universal ones are cheaper but harder to fit. Exact-fit ones cost more but look much better.
Will it damage my steering wheel?
No - the cover just slides over your existing wheel. Protects it actually. When you remove it eventually, your wheel underneath will still be mint.
Can you fit leather ones?
Leather covers are usually laced on and take longer - maybe 30-45 minutes. Still doable, but I'd quote separately for that as it's more fiddly.
How long does it take?
Standard stretchy cover is about 10-15 minutes. But it's still the £60 minimum callout charge, so probably worth combining with another small job if you can.
