Cycle city it may be, but a tyre problem in Cambridge still strands drivers, students and commuters alike. Fast Tyre fits, repairs and replaces tyres at your location anywhere from the city centre to the Science Park.
Cambridge is a genuinely unusual driving city. The historic centre is tight, heavily restricted and increasingly pedestrianised, which pushes traffic onto the A1134 ring road, the A1303 and the park-and-ride arteries. Add in the M11 sweeping in from the south, the constantly busy A14 to the north and the enormous volume of traffic generated by Addenbrooke's Hospital and the Science Park, and you have a city where a tyre failure creates an outsized problem very quickly.
Fast Tyre fits and repairs tyres at your location across the whole of Cambridge and the surrounding area. Whether you're a keyworker finishing a night shift at Addenbrooke's to find a flat in the car park, a student in Chesterton whose car has been sitting on a slow puncture, or a commuter broken down on the A14 — we come to you, we carry the stock and we sort it on the spot.
Cambridge's combination of medieval street layout and modern traffic volume is a recipe for tyre stress. The A1134 ring road is the main alternative to the city centre, but it's also busy and has limited safe stopping points. Trumpington, Cherry Hinton and Romsey are all some distance from the few tyre fitters in the city, and park-and-ride users stranded at the Trumpington or Babraham Road sites are essentially stuck. A mobile fitter coming to you — wherever you are — skips all of that and keeps Cambridge's notoriously awkward traffic from becoming your problem.
The situations we get called out to most often across Cambridge:
Addenbrooke's is one of the largest hospital sites in the UK, with thousands of staff, patients and visitors arriving by car every day — and a flat tyre at the end of a long shift is genuinely miserable. We attend callouts in the Hills Road and Long Road car parks around the clock.
The A14 between Cambridge and Huntingdon is a high-speed mixed carriageway carrying substantial HGV traffic, and a blowout here is a serious roadside hazard. Our mobile fitters respond to A14 tyre emergencies near the Cambridge junctions 24 hours a day.
The Cambridge Science Park and the surrounding Chesterton and Arbury business roads generate a steady stream of construction and fleet vehicles, and nail pickups in car parks are a common complaint. A slow puncture noticed in a Science Park bay is easily fixed without leaving the site.
Our mobile units reach every part of Cambridge and the surrounding Cambridgeshire area, including:

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.
