First a sidewall bulge you can feel as a thump, then a steady vibration, then a bang and a violent pull at the wheel: a blowout gives little warning and it is frightening at speed. If it happens on the A505 or as you join the A1(M) at junction 8, hold the steering straight, ease off the accelerator rather than braking hard, and let the car slow before guiding it off the live lane. Those two roads catch out most Hitchin drivers. Once you are clear of harm, call us and a van starts moving. We carry common sizes, a trolley jack and impact tools, so in most cases we replace a burst tyre at the roadside rather than recovering you to a garage. If the wheel or suspension has taken a knock, we will tell you straight, and you pay by card on completion.

The A1(M) at junction 8 and the fast A505 toward Letchworth are where most of our Hitchin blowout calls come from. As we dispatch from outside the area, we prioritise these emergencies and head straight out with on-board stock, so a driver stranded on a verge near Stevenage or Baldock is not waiting on a garage tow.
The burst tyre replacement situations Hitchin drivers call us out to most:
A motorway blowout at speed; the driver coasted to the hard shoulder and we refitted a matching tyre on site.
A deep pothole burst a sidewall; we replaced it roadside and checked the wheel for buckling before they drove on.
An estate car shredded a rear tyre against a kerb; we fitted a new casing and torqued it up at the verge.
We also attend roadside burst tyre replacement on the main routes through Hitchin, including A602, A505, A600 and more, day and night.

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