Spotted a bulge, gash or cracked sidewall on your tyre and wondering whether it's still safe to drive? Most of the time this kind of damage gets noticed while the car's parked, a lump you catch loading up on Friern Barnet Lane, a split you see walking back to a space in New Southgate, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike on Woodhouse Road. Don't chance it. We come to the car and give you an honest verdict on whether it's driveable or done.

Most of the time this kind of damage gets noticed while the car's parked, a lump you catch loading up on Friern Barnet Lane, a split you see walking back to a space in New Southgate, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike on Woodhouse 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, no matter how small it looks. A bulge means the internal cords have gone and the tyre could let go without warning, and a deep cut or a perished, cracked sidewall is 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 without a trip to a garage. We're across N11 day and night, so a tyre you're nervous about never has to wait.
The tight kerbs along Colney Hatch Lane and the parked-up streets around New Southgate catch plenty of sidewalls, and a hard knock against a kerb on Woodhouse 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 dodgy tyre never gets driven on.
The broken tyre replacement situations Friern Barnet drivers call us out to most:
A driver clipped the kerb hard on Woodhouse Road and found a bulge in the sidewall the next morning. We confirmed it was unsafe and fitted a replacement on the drive.
An older car parked in New Southgate had deep cracking across the sidewall. We explained why it couldn't be repaired and changed it where it stood.
A driver loading up on Friern Barnet Lane 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 Friern Barnet, including Friern Barnet Road, Colney Hatch Lane, Woodhouse Road and more, day and night.
No. A bulge means the internal structure has failed and the tyre can blow at any time, so leave it on Woodhouse Road and we'll come to you across N11 to replace it.
Unfortunately not. A cracked, perished sidewall in New Southgate falls outside the safe repair area, so it needs a replacement tyre rather than a patch.
Leave the car on Friern Barnet Lane. A cut in the shoulder can reach the structure, so we'll check it and fit a new tyre on the spot only if it's genuinely beyond saving.
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 Friern Barnet.

Honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars! Last night after leaving Wembley we got a flat tyre, stranded 2 hours from home, and these guys got us back up and running. 10/10 service from start to finish, even at 1am!
Really great service to repair a flat tyre. Easy to coordinate via WhatsApp, arrived promptly, good communication and a fair price.
I used their service to fix a punctured tyre. They arrived within 45 minutes and replaced my tyre. Highly recommend for urgent tyre service.
