24-Hour Tyre Callout in the A1(M) Corridor
At three in the morning the A1(M) through Hertfordshire is not a quiet road.
Mobile 24-hour tyre callout across the A1(M) Corridor
So the order matters more at night, not less. Hazards on, everyone out of the passenger side and over to the far side of the barrier, and the call to 999 or National Highways on 0300 123 5000 goes in before you ring us. Traffic officers cover the motorway network around the clock and only they can close a lane. Keep well back from the edge, never put yourself on the traffic side of the car, and tell them you are out of the vehicle so they know to look for people rather than just a car.
We work every hour of every day, and the van that turns out at four in the morning carries the same stock, the same balancer and the same fitter as the one at four in the afternoon. The figure for the job is agreed on the call before we set off. We come to the services, a side road at the junction, or the address the car reaches after recovery.
Leave at the next exit if the car still moves safely. If it does not, ring 999, or National Highways on 0300 123 5000, before you ring us. On a smart motorway there is often no hard shoulder, only emergency areas, and only they can close a lane. Get everyone out through the nearside doors and behind the barrier, and do not sit in the car. We are not permitted to work on a live carriageway or a hard shoulder and we will not pretend otherwise. We come to you once you are at a service area, on a slip road, at the next junction, in a lay-by off the carriageway, or at home after recovery.

Local knowledge across the A1(M) Corridor
Night on this stretch is quieter than the daytime and considerably faster, and the run between Stevenage and the Baldock end has long dark sections with nothing behind the barrier but a bank. We turn out at any hour with our own lighting, agree the job on the phone first, and come to wherever the car has been put once it is clear of the carriageway. What we will not do is meet anyone beside a live lane in the dark, and no hour of the night changes that.

Lanes shut for resurfacing near Stevenage
Overnight works had the traffic funnelled through a single lane with cones where the nearside used to be, so there was nowhere to stop that was not in the way. National Highways took the car off at the next junction and we met it there once it was parked.
Recovery first, then us, at junction 9
The car had stopped somewhere nobody should be standing about, so it was recovered before we were any use to it at all. Once it sat in a car park with room around it the new tyre went on, balanced, pressures set, and the driver carried on at their own pace.
Moved twice before we ever set off
Traffic officers took the car off the carriageway, then moved it again to somewhere with more room to work. We stayed in touch with the driver through both and only set out when we knew where it would finally be, which saved everyone a wasted journey.
What the A1(M) Corridor drivers say about our 24-hour tyre callout
★★★★★ 4.9 · based on 155 Google reviews
I clipped the kerb when parking, damaging the wall of my tyre. I contacted Fast Tyre at 21:37 and by 23:40 I had a new tyre fitted. Excellent service and both boys were friendly and efficient.
Google review
Absolutely fantastic service! I called Fast Tyre urgently needing a tyre replaced and Abdul arrived quickly and put my mind at ease.
Google review
5 star without a doubt! Called this morning with a complete flat tyre in N13 and within 30 minutes Abdul arrived and changed it. He also checked all 4 tyres and showed me one was completely bald and dangerous to drive.

24-Hour Tyre Callout in the A1(M) Corridor, FAQs
It changes what is available, not the rule. Coned works often take the nearside away completely, so there may be nothing at all to pull into. If the car still moves, keep going to the next exit. If it does not, ring 999 or National Highways, get behind the barrier and let them make the scene safe.
No. Walking along a motorway is one of the more dangerous things anyone can do at night, and the gap between junctions is a good deal longer than it looks from a moving car. Stay behind the barrier, keep well back from the edge, and tell 999 that people are out of the vehicle.
It is much the safest place available to you, and far safer than the verge or the car itself. Get as far up the bank as the land allows, stand away from the point where the car is rather than level with it, and never on the traffic side. Where there is no barrier, get further back still.
Yes. Traffic officers cover the motorway network around the clock and the police attend when a lane or the road has to be closed. That call is what gets the scene made safe, and it is the reason we ask you to make it before you ring us rather than the other way round.
It will not simply be left. A vehicle stopped on a motorway is an obstruction, so traffic officers or the police arrange for it to be moved, and you agree with them where it goes. Once you know that address, ring us with it. We will come to the car there rather than to the motorway.
