It is worth knowing that a flat tyre sitting still is not getting any worse. People out here often apologise for keeping us waiting, or worry that every minute the car stands there is costing them something. It is not. The damage clock only runs while the wheel is turning. A tyre can sit flat on a driveway off Brook Dam Lane all night and come off the rim in exactly the state it went down in. The same tyre driven four miles along the A142 will come off in pieces. Distance is the enemy here, not time, and out on the Fen edge those two get confused because the distances are long and the nearest workshop is over towards Ely or Newmarket.
So waiting is free and driving is not. Get the car properly off the road if you are on one of the droves, since the edges drop away where the tarmac has broken up, then leave it and ring. Somebody comes out with the machine, the lighting and the stock, and the casing is turned inside out and inspected where the car stands. Where the damage sits inside what BS AU 159 permits, the mend lasts the life of the tyre. Where it does not, the right size is fitted on the spot. We handle cars, SUVs and 4x4s every hour of every day of the year.
A tyre can go flat without ever being punctured. We come to where the car is, Qua Fen, Mereside or anywhere between, get the wheel off and find which it is, then clean and reseat, replace the valve, repair to standard or fit a replacement as the case requires. Tight in Pratt Street, easy in Brook Dam Lane: neither stops the job. Level in Station Road, sloping in Qua Fen: we set the car straight first.

The thing that costs people tyres around Soham is the map rather than the puncture. Knowing that any workshop is a fair drive away makes setting off feel sensible, and it is the one move that costs people a tyre they could have kept. The car can stand on the High Street, on a drive at Pratt Street or on a verge off the A1123 for as long as it takes, and the tyre will be no worse for it.
A car left with a soft tyre until the morning rather than driven anywhere in the dark. Nothing about the casing had changed overnight, and the screw came out of good central tread.
A driver headed for Fordham on a tyre that was going down. By the time they stopped there was rubber missing from the inner shoulder, which no repair covers. The tyre was replaced where the car sat.
A flat found on a quiet street with an hour to fill and a driver apologising for it. There was nothing to apologise for. The car simply stood there while the van came out, and the tyre kept all its life.
No. Nothing happens to a stationary flat tyre. What ruins them is the turning, and that stopped when you did. An hour parked costs you nothing at all.
That distance is exactly the reason not to. Every mile towards Ely or Newmarket on a flat is a mile of damage, and you would arrive needing more than you needed when you set off.
Take the car over as far as the ground will honestly bear it, stopping short of putting a wheel over the crumbling edge, hazards on, and stand clear on the field side. Then say on the phone that it is a lane rather than a road.
Gladly, and it is the easiest version for everyone. Plenty of Soham jobs happen on driveways around Fountain Lane and Station Road with the car exactly where it was left.
Common fitments for cars, SUVs and 4x4s travel on the van in budget through to premium. Read the sidewall out on the phone and the right one is loaded before the fitter leaves.
