A blowout on the M11 at junction 8, with Stansted traffic flowing fast around you, is one of the most frightening things that can happen on a Bishop's Stortford journey. At speed a burst tyre drags the car hard to one side, and the safe response is to ease off the accelerator, keep a firm grip, and bring it to a controlled stop as far left as you can manage. The A120 dual carriageway demands the same calm hands.

Fast Tyre runs an emergency roadside service for exactly these moments, covering the M11, the A120, the A1250 and the lanes around Bishop's Stortford. Our vans carry a wide spread of stock, so when we reach you on the hard shoulder or the verge near Hockerill we can usually fit the correct replacement straight away. Get behind the barrier, switch on your hazards, and call us with your junction or marker post number while you wait somewhere safe.
The M11 junction 8 and the A120 form one of the fastest, busiest corridors in north-west Essex and east Herts, feeding Stansted day and night. Bursts here are high-speed and high-risk, so we keep a deliberately wide stock spread on the van to fit Bishop's Stortford roadside emergencies first time rather than relaying you onward.

Excellent service, super fast! I had a rental car and a screw got stuck in the side of the tyre. They sorted it on the spot.
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.
