Noticed a bulge, gash or cracked sidewall while the car was parked and wondering whether it's still safe to drive? Most of the time this kind of damage gets spotted at a standstill, a lump you catch loading up in Petersham, a split you see walking back to a space in East Sheen, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike in Ham. 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 kerbs and pinch points around Richmond and its riverside lanes catch plenty of sidewalls, and a knock you barely noticed can leave hidden damage. Either way you get a straight answer and, where it's needed, a new tyre fitted on the spot. We're across the area day and night.
The tight kerbs around the town centre and the parked-up riverside lanes near Petersham and Ham 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 Richmond drivers call us out to most:
A driver clipped the kerb hard in Ham and found a bulge in the sidewall the next day. We confirmed it was unsafe and fitted a replacement on the drive.
An older car in East Sheen had deep cracking across the sidewall. We explained why it couldn't be repaired and changed it where it stood.
A driver loading up in Petersham 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 Richmond, including A316 (Lower Mortlake Road), Kew Road, Richmond Hill and more, day and night.
No. A bulge means the internal structure has failed and it can blow at any time, so leave the car in Ham and we'll come out to replace it where it's parked.
Unfortunately not. A cracked or perished sidewall falls outside the safe repair area, so a split spotted on a car in East Sheen means a replacement tyre every time.
It's worth a look. The riverside lanes around Petersham hide plenty of internal sidewall damage behind a clean-looking outside, so we'll inspect it and give you a straight verdict.
Yes. If it's only shallow surface marking from a town-centre kerb that hasn't reached the structure, we'll tell you it's usable rather than sell you a tyre you don't need.

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.
