The most expensive thing you can do to a repairable tyre takes about four seconds. Somebody spots a nail head in the tread, takes hold of it with a pair of pliers and pulls it out to have a look. Until that moment the nail was doing a reasonable job of blocking the hole it made, the tyre was holding most of its pressure, and there was every chance of a straightforward repair on the driveway. Afterwards the tyre is flat and the car cannot be moved without damaging it.
So the advice is genuinely simple. If you can see something in the tread, take a photograph of it and leave it exactly where it is. Send us the picture if you like and we can often tell you whether it sits in the repairable band before anyone travels. The object comes out when the tyre is off the rim and the repair is going in five minutes later, not on the pavement while you are deciding what to do.
The holiday departure is the one that hurts most, because the whole thing is timed. Ferry, flight, a booked slot at the other end, and a nail found in the tread while the car is being loaded outside the house in Wembley Park. Old tyres leave Tokyngton, Alperton and HA9 with us, every time. You watch it happen in Sudbury, or at the kerb in Tokyngton.

Tight bays in the car parks around Wembley Park and the Designer Outlet mean people often find a nail while loading the boot, which is the ideal moment to do nothing at all. Leave it in, leave the car in the bay and ring. We work in multi-storey and surface car parks routinely, provided there is clearance for the van and room to work safely.
The object was plugging its own hole. Once it is gone the air follows it, and a job that could have waited an hour becomes one that cannot wait at all.
A picture of where the object sits in the tread is genuinely useful. It usually tells us whether the position is repairable before we leave, which saves everybody a wasted trip.
The best possible version of this. Tyre still up, object still in it, car not going anywhere. We come to the bay and it is a twenty minute job.
No. It is holding the air in. Leave it, photograph it, and ring. Pulling it out converts a tyre you could drive on into one you cannot.
Still usually repairable, provided the tyre has not then been driven on flat. Park it and ring rather than trying to reach anywhere.
Usually we can tell you whether the position looks promising. The definitive answer comes when the tyre is off the rim and the inside is visible.
Typically 30 to 60 minutes across HA0 and HA9. On event days the roads dictate it and we will give you a realistic time when you ring.
Yes. A clean puncture inside the repairable band gets a permanent repair to BS AU 159. If it sits outside that band, you are told and a replacement goes on instead.
