A slow puncture has a habit of turning up at the worst moment around Northampton, often as a soft tyre on a cold morning before a run down the A45. Rather than risk driving on it, leave the car parked and call us out to Far Cotton, Kingsthorpe or wherever you are. We find the cause, usually a nail or screw picked up on the main roads, and give you a straight answer on whether the tyre can be repaired.

We find the cause, usually a nail or screw picked up on the main roads, and give you a straight answer on whether the tyre can be repaired.
A safe 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 a fraction of 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 say so honestly and fit a replacement rather than send you off on a repair that could fail at speed.
With a lot of Northampton driving heading onto the A45, A43 or the M1, a slow puncture here is a risk at speed rather than just a nuisance. We always inspect the whole tyre, not just the obvious hole, because a tyre nursed along on low pressure can carry hidden internal damage that you really do not want to find out about at seventy on the dual carriageway.
The puncture repair situations Northampton drivers call us out to most:
A driver was reinflating 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 on the road.
We checked 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 Northampton, including M1 (J15–16), A45, A43 and more — day and night.
Far less than a new tyre. We confirm the exact price once we have seen where the damage sits.
Sidewall or shoulder damage, oversized holes, and tyres run flat to overheating all rule out a safe repair.
Yes, one puncture is a normal call across Northampton, including Abington and Duston.
Best not to, especially before an A45 or motorway run. A soft tyre can suffer internal damage and become unrepairable.

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.
