A blowout on the A41 bypass, where it runs fast past Berkhamsted towards Tring and Hemel Hempstead, is one of the most frightening things a local driver can face. At speed a burst tyre wrenches the car off line, and the safe response is to grip the wheel firmly, ease off the throttle and steer to the verge or a safe spot under control rather than braking hard. The steep B4506 demands the same calm reaction.

Fast Tyre runs an emergency roadside service for these moments, covering the A41, the A4251, the Chiltern B-roads and the lanes around Berkhamsted. Our vans carry a wide spread of common sizes, so reaching you on the A41 verge or up near Castle Village we can usually fit the correct tyre straight away. Pull as far off the carriageway as you can, hazards on, stand well clear of traffic and call us with your location.
The A41 bypass and the steep Chiltern B-roads around Berkhamsted combine fast trunk-road traffic with potholed hill routes, both common causes of sudden tyre failure.

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.
