A blowout on the A505 or a sudden bang joining the A1(M) at junction 8 is one of the more frightening things to happen at the wheel. Keep the steering straight, ease off the accelerator rather than braking hard, and bring the car to a safe stop well off the live lane. Once you are out of harm's way, call us and we will get a van moving toward your spot in Hitchin.

Once you are out of harm's way, call us and we will get a van moving toward your spot in Hitchin.
Our vans carry a stock of common tyre sizes, a trolley jack and impact tools, so in most cases we can replace a burst tyre roadside rather than recovering you to a garage. If the wheel or suspension has taken damage from the deflation, we will tell you straight. Either way, you are dealt with at the roadside and paying by card on the spot.
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; driver coasted to the hard shoulder and was refitted with a matching tyre on site.
A sidewall burst from a deep pothole; replaced roadside with the wheel checked for buckling before driving on.
A van that shredded a rear tyre on a kerb; new casing fitted and torqued 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.
Hold the wheel firmly, do not brake sharply, let the car slow naturally, and steer to a safe spot away from traffic before calling us.

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.
