Spotted a bulge, gash or cracked sidewall on a tyre and wondering whether it is still safe to drive? Most of the time this kind of damage gets noticed while the car is parked, a lump you catch loading up on Pitfield Street, a split you see walking back to a space near Hoxton Street market, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike on a side street off Kingsland Road. Do not chance it. We come to the car and give you an honest verdict on whether it is driveable or done.

Most of the time this kind of damage gets noticed while the car is parked, a lump you catch loading up on Pitfield Street, a split you see walking back to a space near Hoxton Street market, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike on a side street off Kingsland Road.

The hard truth with sidewall and shoulder damage is that it cannot be repaired safely, no matter how small it looks. A bulge means the cords inside have already gone and the tyre could let go without warning, and a deep cut or a perished, cracked sidewall is the same story. If that is what we find, we say so plainly and fit a replacement from the van in the correct size right where you are parked, with a two-year manufacturer warranty on the new tyre. If the damage turns out to be shallow scuffing that has not reached the structure, we will tell you it is fine and will not sell you a tyre you do not need. The tight kerbs and pinch points around Hoxton mean sidewalls take a knock more often than people realise. Either way you get a straight answer and, where it is needed, a new tyre fitted on the spot. We are across N1 day and night.
The tight kerbs on the narrow stretches of Pitfield Street and the pinch points around Hoxton Street market catch plenty of sidewalls, and a hard knock against a kerb off Kingsland Road can crack a tyre without leaving an obvious mark. We come to the parked car, judge the damage honestly and, where it is needed, replace on the spot so a dodgy tyre never gets driven on.
The broken tyre replacement situations Hoxton drivers call us out to most:
A driver clipped a kerb hard on a street off Kingsland 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 Pitfield Street had deep cracking across the sidewall. We explained why it could not be repaired and changed it where it stood.
A driver loading up near Hoxton Street market 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 Hoxton, including Kingsland Road (A10), Hoxton Street, Pitfield Street and more, day and night.
Best not. A bulge on a tyre like yours on Pitfield Street means the cords inside have already gone and it could let go without warning. Leave it and we will come and replace it.
Unfortunately not. Cracked and perished sidewalls near Hoxton Street market fall outside the safe repair area, so it needs a replacement rather than a patch to be legal again.
It is. A kerb strike off Kingsland Road can bruise a sidewall inside with nothing showing outside, so we will inspect it and give you a clear verdict rather than leave you guessing.
Yes. If it is only shallow surface marking that has not reached the structure, we will tell you it is fine rather than sell you a tyre. That is the point of coming out across N1.

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.
