If this is your first flat tyre, there are a few things nobody mentions until it happens to you. The first is that it is not an emergency in the way it feels like one. Nothing is on fire, nothing gets worse while the car sits still, and there is no clock running except the one in your own head. Around the university and the roads off College Lane we take a lot of first flats, and they almost all begin with the same slightly panicked voice.
The second thing is that you are not expected to know anything. You do not have to work out whether it can be repaired, you do not have to identify what went into it, and you certainly do not need to own a jack. The entire point of somebody coming out is that the expertise arrives with the van. The third thing, and the one that actually matters, is that the wrong move is easily available to you while the right one is not obvious. The wrong move is driving on it. Almost everything else you might do, or fail to do, makes very little difference to how the day finishes. Park it, stand somewhere safe, ring, and let the rest of it be somebody else's problem.
Two questions get answered on every flat tyre call, in this order. We come out in Hatfield and do exactly that, in South Hatfield, Roe Green or anywhere between, then repair to standard where the damage sits inside the limits or fit a replacement from the van where it does not. Old tyres leave Birchwood, Roe Green and Hertfordshire with us, every time. You watch it happen in Oxlease, or at the kerb in Ellenbrook.

Hatfield is a town of two halves and both produce first time flats. The narrow lanes of Old Hatfield leave nowhere sensible to pull in, and the newer roads around the university and the A1001 carry enough traffic that stopping feels like a crisis in itself. It is not one. Get the car standing somewhere it is not in the way, get yourself out of the road, and let somebody who does this every day come and deal with it.
A student who had never dealt with a tyre in her life and was convinced she had done something terrible to the car. She had not. It was a nail in the tread. Twenty five minutes after the call it was repaired and she drove away.
He was about to attempt the run to South Hatfield on a flat because it had not occurred to him that it mattered. It matters. He stayed put instead and kept a tyre that would otherwise have gone in the skip.
The lanes up in Old Hatfield are narrow and steep and there was nowhere obvious at all. He stopped in the first place a car could stand without blocking anybody, which was the right answer, and that is genuinely all the judgement required.
Very little. Stop the car somewhere it can safely stand, put the hazards on, get out on the side away from traffic and ring. You are not expected to diagnose anything or to be carrying any tools.
No. A parked car with a flat tyre is only a parked car. Nothing degrades while it waits. All of the damage in this comes from driving on it, so a stationary car is doing precisely the right thing.
Ring whoever you want, but do not let it delay stopping the car. Roadside cover often ends with a truck taking the car to a garage. We come to the car and fit the tyre where it stands, which for most people is the shorter route to being mobile.
Completely fine. Give us the registration plus the make and model, and if you can manage it, read out the numbers moulded into the side of one of the tyres. The identifying is our job, not yours.
Yes, across the whole of Hatfield including the university parking, Birchwood, Roe Green and Old Hatfield, at any hour of the day or night. Typical arrival is 30 to 60 minutes.
