Coming out to a flat tyre first thing is a bad start to a day, and the instinct is to nurse the car round to a fitting centre. Resist it.
A tyre run flat, even for half a mile, is usually finished. The sidewall folds under the rim and tears itself up from the inside, so a puncture that could have been plugged for a few pounds becomes a new tyre. Do it on an alloy and you can buckle the rim as well.
So leave it. We will come to the house, get the wheel off and look at what has actually happened. If the damage is in the middle of the tread and the tyre has not been run on, a proper plug and patch from the inside is a permanent repair and we will do that. If it is in the sidewall or the shoulder, it cannot be repaired safely and we will tell you so — that is not us selling you a tyre, it is the rule everyone works to.
Where a replacement is needed we carry new and part-worn tyres for cars and vans on the van, and every wheel is balanced before it goes back on. The old tyre goes away with us.
All we need at your end is somewhere level and firm to work, ideally with a bit of room alongside the vehicle. A normal driveway is fine. A steep hill or soft ground is not, so if that is what you have got, say so when you book and we will work something out.
Questions we get asked
Only if you are comfortable doing it and the car is somewhere safe. There is no need if we are coming to you, and plenty of newer cars have no spare at all.
No. Sidewall and shoulder damage cannot be repaired, and a tyre that has been driven on while flat is usually damaged inside even if it looks fine. We will show you what we find.
It will get you moving in an emergency, but it makes a mess of the inside of the tyre and often rules out a proper repair. If we are coming out anyway, leave it in the boot.
Not necessarily, as long as we can reach the vehicle and get hold of you by phone if we find something you should know about.
