Spotted a bulge, split or deep gash in a tyre while the car was parked and wondering if it's safe to set off? Damage like this nearly always turns up at a standstill, a lump you notice loading up on Walm Lane, a cut you catch walking back to the car on Anson Road, or a chunk gouged out after a hard kerb strike near the Broadway. Don't gamble on it holding. We come to the parked car and give you an honest driveable-or-done verdict.
Spotted a bulge, split or deep gash in a tyre while the car was parked and wondering if it's safe to set off?

The part people don't want to hear is that sidewall and shoulder damage can't be repaired safely, however minor it looks. A bulge means the cords inside have already failed and the tyre could let go without warning, and a deep cut or a cracked, perished sidewall carries the same risk. When that's what we find, we say so plainly and fit a replacement from the van in the correct size right where the car sits. If it turns out to be shallow scuffing that hasn't reached the structure, we'll tell you it's fine and won't push a tyre you don't need. Cricklewood's tight kerbs and the constant stop-start along the A5 are hard on sidewalls, and a knock you barely felt can leave hidden damage that only shows as a bulge days later. Either way you get a straight answer and, where it's needed, a new tyre fitted on the spot without a garage trip. We work across NW2 day and night.
The pinched kerbs along Cricklewood Lane and the parked-up terraces around Mapesbury and Walm Lane catch plenty of sidewalls, and a knock you barely felt at the Broadway can crack a tyre without leaving a mark. We come to the parked car, judge the damage honestly and, where it's needed, replace on the spot so a suspect tyre never gets driven on.
The broken tyre replacement situations Cricklewood drivers call us out to most:
A driver clipped a kerb hard in Mapesbury and found a sidewall bulge the next morning. We confirmed it was unsafe and fitted a replacement on the drive.
An older car parked on Dollis Hill had deep cracking along the sidewall. We explained why it couldn't be repaired and changed it where it stood.
A driver on Shoot Up Hill noticed a split in the tread shoulder while loading up. We judged it beyond saving and fitted a new tyre on the spot.
We also attend roadside broken tyre replacement on the main routes through Cricklewood, including A5 Cricklewood Broadway, North Circular (A406), A407 Cricklewood Lane and more, day and night.
Best not to. A bulge means the tyre's cords have failed and it could go at any point. Leave it on Walm Lane and we'll come out across NW2 to fit a replacement.
Unfortunately not. Sidewall and shoulder splits sit outside the safe repair area, so a tyre like that on Shoot Up Hill always needs replacing rather than patching.
It's worth a proper look. Kerb strikes on the A5 can bruise a sidewall internally with nothing to see outside, so we'll inspect it and give you a clear verdict.
Yes. If it's shallow scuffing on the surface that hasn't reached the structure, we'll say the tyre's fine rather than sell you one you don't need in Cricklewood.
We load common car, SUV and 4x4 sizes on the van, so most damaged tyres around Mapesbury and Dollis Hill are matched and replaced on the spot.

Absolutely fantastic service! I called Fast Tyre urgently needing a tyre replaced and Abdul arrived quickly and put my mind at ease.
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.
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.
