You're on the A14 near St Ives at speed when there's a bang and the car lurches to one side. A blowout is alarming, but how you react in the next few seconds matters most. Don't stamp on the brakes; ease off the accelerator, grip the wheel and hold your line while the car slows itself.
Get your hazards on, let the speed drop, then steer gently onto the hard shoulder or verge. Climb out on the side away from traffic and wait behind the barrier, not beside the car. Once you're safe, call 07717 389637. We cover the A14, A1123 and A1096 and the lanes around Hemingford and Houghton with three vans, carrying common sizes to fit a replacement on the spot. A burst tyre can't be repaired, so it's a new one, fitted and balanced wherever you've stopped, paid by card or contactless.
The difference between a burst tyre costing you an hour and costing you an afternoon is who you ring first. A recovery truck moves the car; it does not fix the tyre, so the tyre still has to be dealt with afterwards. A mobile fitter does both in one visit: call us and a fully-equipped technician heads straight for where you are stopped in St Ives, with the replacement already on board and a live ETA the moment the van leaves. Please do not drive it anywhere to save time. A shredded tyre wrecks the rim, and the rim is the expensive part. We cover Hemingford, Wyton and everything around them, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

We answer burst-tyre call-outs across St Ives and its main roads, the A14, A1123 and A1096, plus the lanes around Hemingford and Houghton. Once you're safely behind the barrier, ring 07717 389637 and a van carrying the right size will be on its way, day or night, usually within the hour.
The burst tyre replacement situations St Ives drivers call us out to most:
The A14 moves fast and a blowout there leaves no room for hesitation. Hold the wheel, bleed the speed off, hazards on, onto the hard shoulder, out and behind the barrier. Then ring us and we'll bring the right tyre out to you.
Carry on after a burst on the A1123 and the tyre will shred, often chewing the arch liner as it goes. Stop the moment it's safe and call; we carry the usual sizes to replace it at the roadside and get you moving.
A sharp kerb strike on the narrow bits around Houghton can split a sidewall so it fails soon after. That's never repairable, so it's a replacement, fitted at your address or wherever you've managed to pull in.
We also attend roadside burst tyre replacement on the main routes through St Ives, including A14, A1123, A1096 and more, day and night.
Keep off the brakes, ease off the throttle and steer straight as the car slows. Then hazards on and gently onto the hard shoulder. Wait well away from the traffic, behind the barrier.
Yes, we're 24/7. Blowouts happen at all hours, so call whenever it is and a van will set off to you.
The casing and sidewall are damaged in a blowout, and any distance run flat ruins the structure. A repair wouldn't be safe, so it has to be replaced.
We carry common car, SUV and 4x4 sizes. Read us the numbers off the sidewall when you call and we'll confirm we've got it before heading out.
We cover it. St Ives is one of the Cambridgeshire towns our mobile fitters run to daily, alongside St Neots and Cambourne. Whether the car is on a driveway in Market Hill, in a workplace car park, or stopped on A1123, it is the same call and the same 30 to 60 minute arrival target.
The lot. Our mobile fitters cover California, Wyton and Hemingford and every street between them, out to the edge of Cambridgeshire. Tell us the postcode and exactly where the car is standing, a driveway, a workplace bay or the kerbside, and that is where the fitter comes. Cars, SUVs and 4x4s, 24 hours a day.
B1040 is one of the St Ives routes we attend day and night, so it sits inside our usual 30 to 60 minute arrival across Cambridgeshire. After that it is down to traffic. Give us your direction of travel and the nearest junction or turning off A14, and the fitter finds you first time.

I used their service to fix a punctured tyre. They arrived within 45 minutes and replaced my tyre. Highly recommend for urgent tyre service.
So glad I called when I got a puncture. They kept me posted, arrived in good time and the price was very reasonable. I felt safe and looked after by their excellent service.
Within an hour Abdul was at my house and it took him 15 minutes to change two tyres. Rapid, polite and with a huge smile. An absolute asset to the company.
