Two versions of this call come from Worcester Park, and they need different advice.
In the second you are moving, on the A24 London Road or coming off the A3, and the car has begun to pull. Take the pressure off gradually. No hard braking, no sudden steering, and let it roll down to a speed where you can turn off into a side street with room to stand clear of traffic. Hazards on before you get out.
Either way, the decision people get wrong is the one about the spare. Kneeling on a narrow terraced street with cars passing your elbow is not worth saving thirty minutes for.
Stopped in a supermarket car park with a flat and a boot full of shopping is a specific kind of miserable. The car parks around Stoneleigh are on our regular rounds, as it happens. Name Cuddington or Central Road, name the A3, and we have you. Nothing is towed out of Old Malden or North Cheam; the work finishes there. Pressures set before we leave Stoneleigh, and the same on Central Road.

Nearly every street around Central Road is parked on both sides, so the honest advice in Worcester Park is to stop thinking about moving the car at all. Leave it in the space it is already in. We work from the road side, keep the bay, and you avoid both the risk of jacking between two parked cars and the cost of driving a repairable tyre into a scrap one.
A car parked overnight in a Cuddington side street was on the rim by morning. The owner had planned to nudge it round the corner to a wider spot. We asked them not to and reached them before the school run; the tyre was still repairable because it had not been moved.
A driver noticed the steering going vague on the slip towards Malden Road and got off the dual carriageway before doing anything else. Parked in a residential turning, hazards on, everyone out on the kerb side. It was a straightforward job by the time we arrived.
A hatchback near Stoneleigh had a puncture and no jack, no wheelbrace and no spare, which the driver only discovered while unloading the boot at the roadside. That is common on newer cars and it is exactly the situation a mobile van exists for.

Honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars! Last night after leaving Wembley we got a flat tyre, stranded 2 hours from home, and these guys got us back up and running. 10/10 service from start to finish, even at 1am!
Absolutely fantastic service! I called Fast Tyre urgently needing a tyre replaced and Abdul arrived quickly and put my mind at ease.
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.
Not really, and that is good news. A tyre that has gone down while parked has not been damaged by driving on it, so there is a strong chance it can be repaired. Leave it where it is, note the size code, and ring when it suits you.
Please do not. Most of the damage that scraps a tyre happens in the first hundred metres of moving on a flat, when the sidewalls fold under the rim. A better parking space is not worth the price of a new tyre and possibly a wheel.
Put the hazards on and, if it is safe and the car will still steer, ease it out of a running lane at walking pace. On a narrow street off Central Road the usual outcome is that we work beside the car and traffic passes as normal.
We would rather you did not. Sealant works only on small tread punctures and it coats the inside of the tyre, which makes a proper inspection and repair harder afterwards. If you have already used one, tell us so we know what we are opening up.
Typically thirty to sixty minutes depending on where the van is and what is on the roads. We give you a realistic time when you call rather than an optimistic one, and we tell you if it slips.
