Spotted a bulge, gash or cracked sidewall on your tyre and wondering whether it's still safe to drive? Most of the time this damage gets noticed while the car's parked, a lump you catch loading up on Elgin Avenue, a split you see walking back to a bay near Warwick Avenue, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike on the A5. 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 on your tyre and wondering whether it's still safe to drive? Most of the time this damage gets noticed while the car's parked, a lump you catch loading up on Elgin Avenue, a split you see walking back to a bay near Warwick Avenue, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike on the A5. 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 tight residents' bays around Little Venice catch plenty of sidewalls without leaving much of a mark. Either way you get a straight answer and, where it's needed, a new tyre fitted on the spot. We're across W9 day and night.
The tight kerbs on the A5 and the packed residents' bays around Elgin Avenue and Little Venice catch plenty of sidewalls, and a hard knock against a kerb 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 Maida Vale drivers call us out to most:
A driver clipped the kerb hard on the A5 Maida Vale and found a sidewall bulge the next morning. We confirmed it was unsafe and fitted a replacement on the street.
An older car parked on Elgin Avenue 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 Warwick Avenue station 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 Maida Vale, including Maida Vale (A5), Elgin Avenue, Warwick Avenue and more, day and night.
No. A bulge means the cords inside have gone and the tyre can let go without warning, so leave it parked in Maida Vale and we'll come out to fit a replacement.
Unlikely. A gash into the sidewall or shoulder from an A5 kerb sits outside the safe repair area, so that damage means a new tyre rather than a patch.
Yes. A kerb strike near Warwick Avenue can harm a sidewall internally with nothing to see outside, so we'll inspect it properly and give you a clear verdict.
We will. If the scuff you found in a residents' bay off Elgin Avenue is shallow and hasn't reached the structure, we'll say the tyre is sound rather than sell you one.
We stock common car, SUV and 4x4 sizes on the van, so most damaged tyres across W9 are swapped where the car's parked, from Elgin Avenue to Little Venice.

I was broken down in the middle of the A406, late at night. I called and they arrived within 15 minutes. Very fast and amazing service, and a kind, friendly gentleman got me moving quickly.
Called at 10am, the fitter arrived with Bridgestone tyres at 10:45am and was finished by 11:15am. Very reasonably priced and great communication, would definitely use again.
