What to do before we arrive
If the tyre is deflating, reduce speed and find a safe place: a driveway, a car park, or an emergency area. Hazard lights on. Do not sit in a live lane to change a wheel. If you have a spare and a safe spot, fitting it yourself is fine — keep the flat tyre, because we may still be able to repair it.
Do not keep driving on the rim. A few hundred metres on a flat ruins a tyre that could have been repaired, and it can damage the alloy.
Repair, spare, or replacement
Flat tyre repair is possible when the cause is a nail or screw in the centre of the tread and the inside of the tyre is undamaged. We take the tyre off to inspect it. If the flat was a blowout, a cut, or a long drive at zero pressure, the repair is refused and we fit a new tyre.
- Repairable nail: puncture repair from the inside.
- No spare and an unrepairable tyre: mobile tyre fitting of a new one.
- You only need to reach the workshop: we can fit your spare tyre if it is legal and inflated.
Staines, M25 and airport roads
Flats cluster on the A30, the A3044 past Heathrow, and the M25 between Junctions 13 and 14. Tell us the what3words or the nearest junction, not just “near the airport”. Call +44 7771 363978 or WhatsApp a photo of the tyre and the car’s position.
If the car will not start after the wait, we also offer a mobile jump start.
Questions drivers ask us
Can you repair a completely flat tyre?
Sometimes. If the hole is small and you stopped quickly, yes. If the sidewall is shredded from driving flat, no.
Do you repair flats at night?
Call and we will tell you if a fitter is available. We do not advertise a 24-hour desk, but emergency call-outs are a normal part of the job.
I do not have a spare. Can you still help?
Yes. Many new cars have no spare. We bring a tyre or assess a repair on the wheel that is on the car.
