Out on the A14 around Cambridge, the traffic thick and quick, a tyre lets go with a bang and the car lurches. There is barely a heartbeat of warning on roads like this or the M11. Grip the wheel, ease off gently, aim for the hard shoulder or a safe pull-in, then get clear of the traffic before calling. The van carries a broad range of stock, so in most cases we fit at the roadside.
We aim to reach you within thirty to sixty minutes and work safely whatever the conditions. A burst tyre often damages the wheel rim or the tyre next to it, so we check the whole corner before refitting. You pay by card on site, and you skip the wait of being recovered off the dual carriageway.
Recovery is the wrong tool for a burst tyre. It is a long wait, it takes the car somewhere you did not want it, and at the end of it the tyre still is not fitted. We finish the job instead: one call, a technician on the way to your exact location in Cambridge, replacement stock already in the van, and a live ETA so the wait has a number on it. Nobody should be driving on a shredded tyre to make that easier, least of all along the A1134 ring road. Cars, SUVs and 4x4s are all covered, day or night, and we take card at the roadside once you are moving again.

The A14 around Cambridge is one of the busiest, fastest roads in the region, and a blowout there is no place to be standing near moving traffic. We know the junctions, lay-bys and safer pull-ins on the A14, the M11 and the ring road, so we reach you quickly and set up clear of the fast lanes.
The burst tyre replacement situations Cambridge drivers call us out to most:
A blowout on the A14 left a driver at a safe pull-in; we attended quickly and fitted a replacement safely.
A tyre burst on the M11 and the driver made the hard shoulder, so we got there within the hour and changed it.
Debris split a car's sidewall; we reached the driver fast and had a matching tyre fitted from van stock.
We also attend roadside burst tyre replacement on the main routes through Cambridge, including M11, A14, A1303 and more, day and night.
Hold the wheel, ease off, get to the hard shoulder or a pull-in, leave the car from the passenger side, stand clear, then call us.
Yes. We carry stock and fit matching tyres on the spot across Cambridge, so recovery is rarely needed.
Usually thirty to sixty minutes, depending on traffic around the city and the dual carriageways.
It can be. We check the rim and the neighbouring tyre before refitting so nothing hidden is missed.
Usually, yes. The fitter needs firm ground and enough room to jack the car and swing the wheel clear, which most kerbs and driveways around Trumpington give. If you are boxed in, on a steep camber or in a narrow bay, say so on the phone and we will agree a safer spot a few metres away before setting off.
Yes. Cambridge sits in a block we run continuously, taking in Huntingdon, Cambourne and St Ives too. It is the postcode we work from, not a line on a map, so a car stopped on the road between Huntingdon and Cambridge is still one call, one fitter and the same 30 to 60 minute arrival window.
M11 is one of the Cambridge routes we attend day and night, so it sits inside our usual 30 to 60 minute arrival across Cambridgeshire. The rest depends on the roads. Give us your direction of travel and the nearest junction or turning off A14, and the fitter finds you first time.

Absolutely fantastic service! I called Fast Tyre urgently needing a tyre replaced and Abdul arrived quickly and put my mind at ease.
I clipped the kerb when parking, damaging the wall of my tyre. I contacted Fast Tyre at 21:37 and by 23:40 I had a new tyre fitted. Excellent service and both boys were friendly and efficient.
5 star without a doubt! Called this morning with a complete flat tyre in N13 and within 30 minutes Abdul arrived and changed it. He also checked all 4 tyres and showed me one was completely bald and dangerous to drive.
