Burst Tyre Replacement in Reading

Mobile burst tyre replacement across Reading

Once the car is stopped, put the hazards on, then get out through the nearside doors, never the offside, however awkward that is with a passenger seat in the way. Take everybody with you, including anyone who says they would rather stay in the warm. Get up the bank and behind the barrier, and walk back from the car rather than standing level with it, so that anything drifting onto the shoulder hits the vehicle and not you.

Then ring. Give the road, the direction of travel and the nearest marker post or junction, because on the M4 one stretch looks like the next. Do not attempt to change the wheel yourself: on a live motorway that is where people get hurt, and a space saver is a poor answer at the end of it anyway. The first call is 999, or National Highways on 0300 123 5000. A burst tyre cannot be repaired, so what you need next is somebody arriving with the correct size once the car is off the motorway. We attend around the clock and check the rim before fitting anything.

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 Tilehurst or miles from it, and the live ETA tells you when help actually arrives. Roadside, lay-by or a side street off the A33, it makes no difference to us. We are out across Berkshire at every hour of the day and night.

Local knowledge across Reading

The A33 through Whitley feeds M4 traffic and the ring road junctions can snarl within minutes of an incident, so a car stopped on the shoulder around Reading is in a genuinely busy place. What keeps that situation safe is not speed of repair but where everybody is standing while they wait. Get behind the barrier, ring 999 or National Highways, and let the van come to the vehicle once it is off the motorway.
