Burst Tyre Replacement in Bricket Wood
Once a car with a burst tyre is safely off the M1 or the M25, or has stopped in the village, we fit the replacement there.
Mobile burst tyre replacement across Bricket Wood
Junction 6 of the M1 and junction 21a of the M25 are both minutes from the village, and that is where almost every burst tyre we attend here happens. Both carry heavy traffic at speed, and the A405 in between has nowhere much to stop at all.
If a tyre goes, hold the wheel firm and straight, ease off the accelerator rather than braking, and let the car slow itself before you steer left. Then everyone out through the passenger doors and behind the barrier, up the bank rather than beside the car, and only then start making calls.
On the motorway itself, ring 999, or National Highways on 0300 123 5000, first. We are typically 30 to 60 minutes away once the car is off it. Once the car is off the motorway the van goes between you and the traffic, then the replacement goes on, the rim gets looked at while the tyre is off and the rest of the set gets a check for impact marks that have not opened yet. If the car has no usable spare that changes nothing, because we bring a full size tyre and fit it wherever the car has been taken.
Once a tyre has gone, it has gone. There is no pressure to top up and nothing to nurse home on, and driving on it takes the rim with it. So the real choice is between waiting on a recovery truck and having somebody come out and fit a replacement where you are. We do the second. The van carries stock for cars, SUVs and 4x4s, one call sets it moving, whether you are stopped near Bricket Wood village or miles from it, and the live ETA tells you when help actually arrives. Roadside, lay-by or a side street off Smug Oak Lane, it makes no difference to us. We are out across Hertfordshire at every hour of the day and night.

Local knowledge across Bricket Wood
Blowouts here are motorway blowouts: junction 6 of the M1, junction 21a of the M25, or the A405 in between where there is nowhere to stop. Get everyone behind the barrier before you ring, call 999 or National Highways if you are on the motorway itself, and we take the traffic side with the van once the car is off it. We are typically 30 to 60 minutes out.
Typical burst tyre replacement jobs in Bricket Wood
Behind the barrier at junction 6
A rear let go in heavy traffic and everyone was up the bank before anyone rang. National Highways moved the car off at the junction, then van in to shield the working side, replacement fitted and balanced, rim checked, and nobody stood in the live lane at any point.
Traffic officers on scene first
A patrol arrived and put their vehicle in behind, then escorted the car off at the junction. We met it there, which is quicker and considerably safer than anything on a busy shoulder, and were away inside forty minutes.
Nowhere to stop on the A405
A failure on a stretch with no shoulder and a barrier to the left. The driver got as far over as the road allowed and the family went behind the barrier. Nothing gets lifted beside a running lane there, so the car was crawled on to the next side turning and the tyre went on in that.

Absolutely amazing service. They turned up promptly and got the wheel changed within 20 minutes. The pricing was also very reasonable and transparent.

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.
Google review
The guy I spoke to on the phone was very friendly and understanding, especially as having two tyres needing to be replaced was quite stressful. He arrived quickly, talked me through everything, and gave me honest advice. He also went above and beyond by checking other things on the car and explaining the condition of all my tyres.

Burst Tyre Replacement in Bricket Wood, FAQs
They take charge of the scene, which is a good thing. They will position their vehicle to protect you, tell you where to stand and arrange for the car to be moved off the carriageway. We do not work on the motorway; tell us where the car is taken and we fit it there.
If you are on the motorway itself, yes, and the number is on the back of the signs and the marker posts. They can get a patrol to you and warn traffic on the overhead signs, neither of which we can do. Ring them, then us, then stay behind the barrier.
Usually further along than you would like. Keep it steering, get as far left as the road allows, look for a gateway, a lay-by or a side turning, and put the hazards on before you stop. Coming to rest just past a bend on the North Orbital is the one thing to avoid if you possibly can.
Handbrake on, and in gear or in park, wheels pointed away from the carriageway if you have the choice. Then leave it. Once everyone is behind the barrier there is nothing in the car worth going back for, and if it needs shifting off the motorway that is for National Highways or recovery.
Not usually. We know where they sit on almost everything and we use the sills or the subframe points as the maker intended rather than whatever is convenient. If your car has an unusual arrangement, or it has been lifted badly before and the sill is crumpled, we will show you what we find.
