Flat Tire Change and Roadside Tire Service

A flat tire on a quiet street is an inconvenience. A flat on the shoulder of a busy highway, in the dark or in the rain, is genuinely dangerous. Changing a wheel yourself means kneeling beside moving traffic, and plenty of drivers would rather not — or find the spare is flat, the wheel nuts are seized, or there is no jack in the boot at all.

When to call instead of doing it yourself

• You are stopped on a highway shoulder or anywhere with traffic passing close by
• The wheel nuts will not move, or you do not have the locking wheel nut key
• There is no spare, or the spare is also flat
• More than one tire has gone
• It is dark, wet, or you simply are not comfortable doing it at the roadside

What we do

If you have a usable spare, it is fitted at the roadside and you can drive on. If there is no spare, or the damage means the vehicle should not be driven — a blowout, a shredded sidewall, damage to the rim — the vehicle is towed to a tire shop or garage of your choice instead.

About space saver spares

Most modern cars carry a temporary spare rather than a full size wheel. These are built to get you to a tire shop, not to be driven on indefinitely, and they usually carry a speed limit printed on the wheel itself. Plan on replacing it promptly rather than treating it as a repair.
