Spotted a bulge, gash or cracked sidewall while the car was parked and wondering whether it's safe to drive? Most of the time this kind of damage gets noticed at a standstill, a lump you catch loading up near Temple Fortune, a split you see walking back to a space in Childs Hill, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike on Hoop Lane. 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. The narrow permit streets of the Suburb and the tight kerbs around the centre catch plenty of sidewalls, and a hard knock can crack a tyre without an obvious mark. 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 NW11 day and night, so a tyre you're nervous about never has to wait.
The tight kerbs around the Golders Green centre and the narrow permit streets of Hampstead Garden Suburb catch plenty of sidewalls, and a hard knock on Hoop Lane 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 Golders Green drivers call us out to most:
A driver clipped the kerb hard on Hoop Lane and found a bulge in the sidewall the next morning. We confirmed it was unsafe and fitted a replacement at the kerb.
An older car in Childs Hill had deep cracking across the sidewall. We explained why it couldn't be repaired and changed it where it stood.
A driver loading up near Temple Fortune 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 Golders Green, including A598 Finchley Road, A502 North End Road, North Circular (A406) and more, day and night.
No. A bulge means the internal cords have failed and the tyre can blow at any time. Leave it near Temple Fortune and we'll come across NW11 to replace it.
Unfortunately not. Sidewall and shoulder damage falls outside the safe repair area, so a cracked or split sidewall found in Childs Hill or anywhere means a replacement tyre.
It's worth a look. A knock on Hoop Lane can damage a sidewall internally with no mark outside, so we'll inspect it and give you a clear verdict.
Yes. If it's only shallow surface marking that hasn't reached the structure, we'll tell you the tyre's fine rather than sell you one you don't need in NW11.
We stock common car, SUV and 4x4 sizes on the van, so most damaged tyres around the Suburb and the rest of NW11 are swapped on the spot for the correct match.
Yes. We provide mobile broken tyre replacement right across Golders Green, Greater London including Golders Green Centre (NW11), Temple Fortune (NW11), Hampstead Garden Suburb (NW11), 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Typical arrival in Golders Green is 30–60 minutes from dispatch, day or night, depending on traffic. We give you a live ETA the moment the van sets off.

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.
