Get to know us

Sparewheel Buddy is a business that primarily focuses on spare wheels. The goal is to expand the business by incorporating ambassadors or brand representatives, as well as opening franchises nationwide. However, despite the expansion plans, the product itself will remain unchanged as the company has full confidence in its current offering. While there may be plans to introduce a Sparewheel Buddy for trucks in the future, the website's current focus is solely on cars and the existing kit. So, for now, the business is dedicated to providing quality spare wheels and accessories specifically for cars.

Our mission

To ensure that our customers never have to stress about a flat spare wheel, Sparewheel Buddy has been meticulously designed to serve as the ultimate solution.

Say goodbye to cumbersome checks and guesswork. Sparewheel Buddy provides you with the confidence of knowing the exact inflation status of your spare wheel with ease, ensuring you're always prepared for any road emergency.
