Spotted a bulge, split or deep gash in a tyre while the car was parked and unsure it's safe to set off? Damage like this almost always turns up at a standstill, a lump you notice loading the boot in Earley, a cut you catch walking back to the car in Woodley, or a chunk gouged out after a hard kerb strike in Lower Earley. Don't gamble on it holding. We come to the car and give you an honest verdict on whether it's driveable or done.
Spotted a bulge, split or deep gash in a tyre while the car was parked and unsure it's safe to set off?

The part nobody wants to hear is that sidewall and shoulder damage can't be repaired safely, however small it looks. A bulge means the cords inside have already failed and the tyre could let go without warning; a deep cut or a cracked, perished sidewall carries the same risk. When that's the finding, we say so plainly and fit a replacement from the van in the correct size right where the car sits. If it turns out to be shallow scuffing that hasn't reached the structure, we'll tell you it's fine and won't sell you a tyre you don't need. Reading's kerbs and the parking pinch around Earley and the centre are hard on sidewalls, and a knock you barely registered can leave damage that only shows as a bulge days later. Whatever we find, you get a straight answer and, where it's needed, a new tyre fitted on the spot. We work across the town and its suburbs day and night.
The tight kerbs and pinch points around Earley and the town-centre bays catch plenty of sidewalls, and a knock you barely felt can crack a tyre without an obvious mark. We come to the parked car, judge the damage honestly and, where it's needed, replace on the spot so a suspect tyre never gets driven on.
The broken tyre replacement situations Reading drivers call us out to most:
A driver clipped a kerb hard in Lower Earley and found a sidewall bulge the next morning. We confirmed it was unsafe and fitted a replacement on the drive.
An older car in Woodley had deep cracking across the sidewall. We explained why it couldn't be repaired and changed it where it stood.
A parent loading the boot in Earley 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 Reading, including M4 (J10–12), A33, A329(M) and more, day and night.
No. A bulge means the cords inside have already gone and it can burst without warning, so leave the car in Lower Earley and we'll come out and fit a replacement where it sits.
Unfortunately not. Sidewall and shoulder cracks sit outside the safe repair zone, so a split or perished sidewall on a car parked in Woodley always means a fresh tyre.
Yes. A knock against the tight bays around Earley can damage a sidewall on the inside with almost nothing to see, so we'll inspect it and give you a clear verdict.
We will. If it's only shallow scuffing from a town-centre kerb that hasn't reached the structure, we'll say it's usable rather than sell you a tyre you don't need.
We carry common car, SUV and 4x4 sizes, so most damaged tyres around Woodley and Earley are matched and swapped on the spot without a second trip.
Yes. We provide mobile broken tyre replacement right across Reading, Berkshire including Caversham, Tilehurst, Earley, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Typical arrival in Reading is 30–60 minutes from dispatch, day or night, depending on traffic. We give you a live ETA the moment the van sets off.

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.
