Spotted a bulge, gash or cracked sidewall while the car was parked and unsure 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 Maze Hill, a split you see walking back to a space on Creek Road, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike on Vanbrugh Hill. Don't chance it. We come to the car and give you an honest verdict on whether it's driveable or done.
Spotted a bulge, gash or cracked sidewall while the car was parked and unsure whether it's safe to drive?

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. Greenwich has its cobbled stretches near the town centre and tight kerbs on the hilly streets, 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 SE10 day and night, so a tyre you're nervous about never has to wait.
The cobbled stretches near Greenwich town centre and the tight kerbs on the hilly streets around Maze Hill and Vanbrugh Hill catch plenty of sidewalls, and a hard knock 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 Greenwich drivers call us out to most:
A driver clipped the kerb hard on Vanbrugh Hill 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 near Maze 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 on Creek Road 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 Greenwich, including A2 (Blackwall Lane), A206 (Trafalgar Road), A200 (Greenwich High Road) and more, day and night.
No. A bulge means the internal structure has failed and it can blow at any time. Leave the car on Vanbrugh Hill and we'll come across SE10 to replace it.
Unfortunately not. Sidewall and shoulder damage falls outside the safe repair area, so a cracked or split sidewall found near Maze Hill or anywhere means a replacement tyre.
It's worth a look. A knock near Maze Hill can bruise a sidewall internally with no mark outside, so we'll inspect it and give you a clear verdict.
Yes. If the damage is only shallow surface marking that hasn't reached the structure, we'll say the tyre's fine rather than sell you one you don't need in SE10.
We stock common car, SUV and 4x4 sizes on the van, so most damaged tyres around Creek Road and the rest of SE10 are swapped on the spot for the correct match.
Yes. We provide mobile broken tyre replacement right across Greenwich, Greater London including Greenwich town centre (SE10), East Greenwich (SE10), Maze Hill (SE10), 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

So glad I called when I got a puncture. They kept me posted, arrived in good time and the price was very reasonable. I felt safe and looked after by their excellent service.
Within an hour Abdul was at my house and it took him 15 minutes to change two tyres. Rapid, polite and with a huge smile. An absolute asset to the company.
Rohan came so quickly, within the hour, and was decent and professional changing 2 tyres, giving a mum of 5 real peace of mind at a reasonable price. Excellent communication too.
