Flat Tyre Help in Tring
Before anything else, find out what is actually in the boot.
Mobile flat tyre help across Tring
A lot of drivers assume there is a spare wheel under the floor and discover at the worst possible moment that there is a compressor and a bottle of sealant instead. That single fact changes what your options are at the roadside, and it is far better learned on a normal afternoon than on the A41 at nine at night.
If a tyre has gone, get the car out of the flow before you look at anything else. The A41 past Tring gives you few places to stop and the traffic does not slow down for hazard lights. Once you are somewhere safer, hazards on, everyone out on the nearside, and stand well back from the vehicle. If you do have a space saver and you are on level ground with room around you, using it is reasonable. On the slope up towards Wigginton it is not.
Call and the tyre and the equipment come to the car. We aim to be with you within 30 to 60 minutes.
Flat on Lower Icknield Way with nowhere sensible to stop, or flat on the drive at seven in the morning: the answer starts the same way, which is that somebody has to look at it properly. We come out to you in Tring, take the wheel off and find the actual cause, because a slow deflation caught early and a tyre that has let go completely need very different things. The first is usually a straightforward repair to standard, done where it stands. The second gets a replacement from the van, correct size, fitted and balanced on the spot. What neither needs is a recovery truck and a bill for towing a car with three perfectly good tyres on it.

Local knowledge across Tring
Tring's difficulty is that both escape routes from a flat tyre fail you. The A41 is quick with almost nowhere to stop, and the roads up to Wigginton and Aldbury are steep, narrow and lined with flint, which is no place to be kneeling beside a jack. The town centre grid is close parked from end to end. What is left is stopping where you are, standing clear and letting the van come to the car, at any hour.
Typical flat tyre help jobs in Tring
No spare after leaving the A41
Plenty of cars now carry a foam kit under the boot floor instead of a wheel, and most drivers only discover that at the roadside. Leave the A41 at the next junction if the car will go slowly, wait on the pavement rather than beside it, and the replacement tyre is fitted where the car has stopped.
Space saver on Station Road
A car on Station Road had a proper space saver and level ground to use it on, so the driver fitted it. We replaced the damaged tyre at the house that evening, and the temporary wheel went back under the floor where it belongs.
Back to a flat at the station
A car left at Tring station all day and found soft in the evening is better dealt with in the bay than driven the long way back into town. Ring from the car park and the tyre is repaired or replaced where it stands.

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.

Flat Tyre Help in Tring, FAQs
Lift the boot floor and look. It is either a full size wheel, a narrow space saver, or a compressor with a bottle of sealant. Knowing which of the three you have before you need it takes most of the panic out of the situation.
For a limited distance and normally no faster than 50mph, and it is meant as a get you home wheel rather than a fix. Check the sticker on it. Grip and braking are noticeably poorer, which shows up on the hills to Wigginton and Aldbury.
Pump it if you like, because how fast it drops again tells you something, but do not drive on it to find out. A tyre that went down while parked is often still repairable, and it stays that way if the car stays put while we come to the drive.
Yes. The Victorian streets near the centre are close parked, but we work from the road side with the van standing behind for protection, and the car does not have to move out of its space at all.
Not on the carriageway itself. We never work on a live carriageway, so if you are stopped on the A41, get everyone out and behind the barrier or up the bank, and ring 999 if the car is in a running lane. Once it is off at a junction, a lay-by or a side road, we come to it.
