A slow puncture tends to show up at the most awkward time around Cambridge, often as a soft tyre on a cold morning when you are already late. Rather than risk driving 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 picked up on the busier roads, and tell you honestly whether the tyre can be repaired or has had its day.

We find the cause, usually a nail or screw picked up on the busier roads, and tell you honestly whether the tyre can be repaired or has had its day.
A proper repair must meet BS AU 159, which means the damage has to sit in the central tread, never the sidewall or shoulder. Where that is the case, a plug-and-patch repair 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 will tell you plainly and fit a replacement rather than send you off on a repair that could fail later.
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 a tyre nursed along the ring road or the A14 on low pressure can carry hidden internal damage that makes a quick plug a false economy you would regret at speed.
The puncture repair situations Cambridge drivers call us out to most:
A driver was topping up a tyre each morning; we found a screw in the tread and patched it properly within the hour.
A motorist had a nail in the central tread, so we repaired it on the driveway to standard and kept the car going.
We inspected a slow leak, found sidewall damage that ruled out a repair, and fitted a fresh tyre on the spot.
We also attend roadside puncture repair on the main routes through Cambridge, including M11, A14, A1303 and more — day and night.
Far less than a new tyre. We confirm the exact price once we have seen where the damage sits.
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.
