Two very different situations produce nearly all the flat tyre calls in Cobham, and they want opposite responses.
In the lanes that means stopping where you can be seen from a distance rather than at the first spot that feels convenient, and putting the hazards on before opening a door. If there is a gateway or a wide section within a short crawl, use it even at the cost of the rim.
After that the advice is identical in both places. Do not jack it. Ring, describe where you are, wait clear of the car.
Do not drive it. That applies double if you are thinking of nursing it off the M25 to somewhere more convenient. We come to the exact spot in Cobham, get eyes on the real damage, and either repair to standard or fit a replacement from on-board stock, with no recovery bill either way. Midnight in Downside, midday in Oxshott, the same call either way. School run in Oxshott or 1am in Stoke d'Abernon, we answer the same.

Cobham asks for two different kinds of care. On the A3 the priority is getting the car and the people away from traffic moving at speed; on the lanes towards Downside it is making sure a driver coming round a hedge sees you in time. Once you are safe, everything else waits for us, because no part of this is worth kneeling in the road for.
A driver picked up sudden deflation and left the dual carriageway rather than stopping on the hard shoulder, which is always the better choice where an exit is close. We met the car on a side road near Fairmile, with everyone safely away from the traffic.
A car stopped just past a bend on a lane near the Tilt was almost impossible to see until you were on top of it. The driver had walked back up the road to a straight section, which is exactly right, and cones went out before anything else happened.
Parking on Cobham High Street is tight enough that the driver could not have swung a jack anyway. The car stayed in its bay, we worked from the pavement side, and it was back on four sound tyres without ever leaving the space.

Abdul came and helped me as I was stuck on the side of the road. He came very quickly and was so friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend, great service.
Called at 08:30 with a flat due to a screw in the shoulder. No spare on the car. New tyre sourced and replaced on my driveway by 11:15. What more could I ask for.
Called in the morning, booked for an afternoon slot and paid a deposit. He attended to my girlfriend's car at her job. He was punctual and efficient. 10/10.
If the car will hold a straight line at reduced speed, carrying on to the next exit is usually safer than standing beside a live dual carriageway. Stop on the hard shoulder only if the vehicle genuinely cannot be controlled any further.
Common, and not a problem for us, because the tyre comes off the van. The point of a spare was to get you to a garage, and we remove the need to reach one. Read the size off the sidewall and the right tyre travels with us.
Hazards on before you open a door, everyone out on the hedge side, and stand well back up the road from the direction traffic is coming. Use a phone light to make yourself visible, and never stand between the car and a bend.
The tyre is already lost, so the question is what else you are willing to damage. The rim, the sensor and the arch liner go next, and on a low profile alloy that is an expensive few hundred yards. Better to stop and wait for us.
Yes, along with Downside, the Tilt, Fairmile and the High Street, plus the A3 and the junction 10 approaches. Give us a landmark or a what3words reference if you are out on the lanes and we will find you without a search.
