Spotted a bulge, gash or cracked sidewall on your tyre and unsure whether it's still safe to set off? This kind of damage almost always gets caught while the car's parked, a lump you notice loading up on Charterhouse Street, a split you see walking back to a bay on St John Street, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike on Clerkenwell Road. Don't chance it. We come to the car and give you an honest verdict on whether it's driveable or done.

This kind of damage almost always gets caught while the car's parked, a lump you notice loading up on Charterhouse Street, a split you see walking back to a bay on St John Street, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike on Clerkenwell Road. Don't chance it. We come to the car and give you an honest verdict on whether it's driveable or done.
The hard truth with sidewall and shoulder damage is that it can't be repaired safely, however small it looks. A bulge means the internal cords have already gone and the tyre could let go without warning, and a deep cut or a perished, cracked sidewall tells the same story. If that's what we find, we say so plainly and fit a replacement from the van in the correct size right where you're parked. If the damage turns out to be shallow surface marking that hasn't reached the structure, we'll tell you it's fine and won't sell you a tyre you don't need. Either way you get a straight answer and, where it's needed, a new tyre fitted on the spot with no trip to a garage. We're across Farringdon day and night, so a tyre you're nervous about never has to wait.
The tight kerbs and pinch points around Smithfield and the parked-up runs along St John Street catch plenty of sidewalls, and a hard knock on Clerkenwell Road can crack a tyre without leaving an obvious 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 Farringdon drivers call us out to most:
A driver clipped the kerb hard on Clerkenwell Road and found a sidewall bulge the next morning. We confirmed it was unsafe and fitted a replacement at the kerb.
An older car parked on St John Street had deep cracking across the sidewall. We explained why it couldn't be repaired and changed it where it stood.
A worker loading up on Charterhouse Street noticed a gash in the tread shoulder. We checked it, judged it beyond saving and fitted a new tyre on the spot.
We also attend roadside broken tyre replacement on the main routes through Farringdon, including Farringdon Road (A201), Charterhouse Street, Cowcross Street and more, day and night.
No. A bulge means the internal cords have already gone and the tyre could let go without warning, so leave it parked on Clerkenwell Road and we'll come across EC1M to replace it.
Unfortunately not. Perished, cracked sidewalls sit outside the safe repair area, so a tyre like that on St John Street needs replacing rather than patching, however small the cracks look.
Leave the car where it is on Charterhouse Street. A cut in the shoulder can reach the structure, so we'll inspect it, give you a straight verdict and fit a new tyre on the spot if needed.
Yes. If it's shallow scuffing that hasn't reached the structure we'll tell you the tyre's fine rather than sell you one you don't need around Smithfield.
We stock common car, SUV and 4x4 sizes on board, so most damaged tyres around Farringdon are matched and fitted at the kerb the same visit.

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.
