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 on Well Street, a split you see walking back to a space near Victoria Park, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike on Amhurst Road. 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 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 on Well Street, a split you see walking back to a space near Victoria Park, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike on Amhurst 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. Hackney's tight terraced streets and the constant squeeze for a space mean sidewalls take a beating against kerbs, 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 E8 and E9 day and night, so a tyre you're nervous about never has to wait.
The tight terraced kerbs off Well Street and the endless jockeying for a space near Victoria Park catch plenty of sidewalls, and a hard knock on Amhurst 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 Hackney drivers call us out to most:
A driver clipped the kerb hard on Amhurst Road 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 parked near Victoria Park 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 Well 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 Hackney, including Mare Street (A107), Hackney Road (A1208), Lower Clapton Road (A107) 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 Well Street and we'll come across E8 and E9 to replace it.
Unfortunately not. Sidewall and shoulder damage falls outside the safe repair area, so a cracked or split sidewall found near Victoria Park or anywhere means a replacement tyre.
It's worth a look. A knock on Amhurst Road 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 E8 or E9.
We stock common car, SUV and 4x4 sizes on the van, so most damaged tyres around Victoria Park and the rest of E8 and E9 are swapped on the spot for the correct match.
Yes. We provide mobile broken tyre replacement right across Hackney, Greater London including Hackney Central (E8), Hackney Wick (E9), Lower Clapton (E5), 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Typical arrival in Hackney 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 amazing service. They turned up promptly and got the wheel changed within 20 minutes. The pricing was also very reasonable and transparent.
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.
