Is your repair even allowed, or does the tyre need replacing? That is the first thing we settle around Cambridge. A slow puncture tends to show at an awkward time, often as a soft tyre on a cold morning when you are already late. Rather than drive on it, leave the car parked and call us out to Romsey, Arbury or wherever you are. We find the cause, usually a nail or screw off the busier roads.

A proper repair must meet BS AU 159: the damage has to sit in the central tread, never the sidewall or shoulder. Where that holds, a plug-and-patch costs far less than a new tyre and we do it on the spot. If the puncture is in the wrong place, or the tyre has run flat and overheated, we tell you plainly and fit a replacement instead.
Cambridge has heavy cycle traffic and frequent roadworks, both of which shed the nails and screws we most often pull from tyres here. We always check the whole tyre, not just the obvious hole, because one nursed along the ring road or the A14 on low pressure can hide internal damage.
The puncture repair situations Cambridge drivers call us out to most:
A driver topping up each morning had a screw in the tread, which we patched properly within the hour.
A nail in the central tread came out on the driveway, repaired to standard so the car kept going.
A slow leak traced to sidewall damage, which ruled out a repair, so a fresh tyre went on instead.
We also attend roadside puncture repair on the main routes through Cambridge, including M11, A14, A1303 and more, day and night.
No. Only central tread damage within the limits is repairable under BS AU 159. Sidewall damage means a replacement.

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.
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.
