Emergency Tyre Repair in Wimbledon
An urgent call about a nail in a Wimbledon tyre sometimes ends with no repair at all, because every so often the tyre we take off has a puncture that is not one.
Mobile emergency tyre repair across Wimbledon
A nail has gone into the tread, sometimes an impressively long one, and it has stopped inside the rubber without reaching the inner liner. The tyre has never lost a pound of pressure and never would. What brought us out was that somebody saw a nail head in the tread and quite reasonably assumed the worst.
The right thing to do with one of those is genuinely nothing, and it takes taking the tyre off to establish it. If the object has not gone through, it comes out, the shallow hole is checked and the tyre goes back on. Leaving a nail sitting in the tread is not a good long-term plan either, because it works its way deeper and lets water into the belt underneath, so it is worth dealing with. It is simply not the emergency it looked like.
Hospital and clinic appointments are the ones people apologise for ringing about, and they should not. An appointment that took months to get is exactly the sort of thing an urgent dispatch exists for. Tell us on the call that the clock matters and it changes where the job sits in the queue. Then it is the usual work done quickly: we come to the car in SW19, get the wheel off, inspect the tyre from the inside and repair it to British Standard where the damage permits. Roadside on Worple Road / Wimbledon Hill Road, a car park or your own drive, it is the same visit.

Local knowledge across Wimbledon
The roads through Raynes Park and along the Kingston Road pick up plenty of debris, so nails in tread are a routine sight around here and most of them are found while the car is parked. That is the calm version of the problem. Leave the object where it is, ring, and let somebody establish whether it has actually gone through before anybody starts worrying.
Typical emergency tyre repair jobs in Wimbledon
A nail that never reached the liner
The tread is several millimetres of solid rubber and short objects often stop in it. No pressure loss, no repair needed, and the tyre carries on as before.
An object working its way in
Left alone it goes deeper with every mile and eventually does reach through. It also lets water down to the steel belt, which is its own slow problem.
A nail head with no leak at all
Worth checking rather than ignoring and equally worth not panicking about. We would rather find nothing than have you drive on something that turns out to matter.

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.

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.

Emergency Tyre Repair in Wimbledon, FAQs
Possibly, if the object has not gone all the way through. It still wants dealing with, because it will work deeper and let water in, but it is not urgent.
No. If it has gone through, pulling it out is how you find out at the worst possible moment. Leave it and let somebody take the tyre off.
You get told what we found and nothing is invented. Finding no damage is a perfectly good outcome and we will say so.
The tyre comes off and the inside is inspected. If nothing has come through the liner, that is visible immediately.
Typical arrival is 30 to 60 minutes across SW19 and SW20, and we come to the car rather than asking you to bring it anywhere.
