Damaged tyre sorted on the spot
Damaged tyre sorted on the spot
on the A14.
Run over debris on the A14 and a tyre can be cut or split before you have time to react, sometimes without a sound. Our mobile team reaches you along A-road routes, inspects the casing at your safe spot, and gives you a straight answer on repair or replacement.
Safety comes first. If the car will still roll, ease onto the hard shoulder, into an emergency area or off at the next exit, then get well clear of the traffic before you phone. Do not attempt to look at the tyre in a running lane on the A14, and call the emergency services first if you are stranded somewhere exposed.
What happens next depends on where the object struck. A clean hole through the tread can usually be plugged and patched there and then, but a cut sidewall, a torn shoulder or a fresh bulge means a replacement, because that flexing part of the tyre cannot hold a repair safely at A-road speeds. We tell you which it is before we start.

About the A14
The road we cover.
The A14 begins at the M1 and M6 Catthorpe Interchange and heads east towards the port of Felixstowe. In our area it serves Kettering and Corby, linking the Midlands motorways to the East Coast ports. It is one of the country's busiest freight corridors, heavy with HGV traffic.
Wherever you've stopped along it, we assess the damage at the roadside and sort a repair or replacement, rather than have you drive on a tyre that could fail.

Broken down on the A14?
If the tyre is damaged but still holding air, slow down and come off at the next junction. If it's deflating fast, treat it like a blowout and stop somewhere safe straight away.
What drivers say
Rescued at the roadside.
"Life saver. Sudden puncture, hard-to-find tyre. They got back to me within 10 minutes and did a mobile tyre change."

"Outstanding service. From the moment I called to driving away with the tyre repaired was less than an hour, at 7pm on a Sunday while stranded on the M25."

A14 FAQs
Broken Tyre Repair on the A14, answered.
I clipped a pothole on the A14 but the tyre still looks okay. Should I stop?
Yes, find a safe spot and have it checked. A pothole hit on a fast A-road can pinch the casing against the rim and leave damage on the inner wall that you simply cannot see from the driver's seat. Get onto the hard shoulder or off at a junction, then call us out. We inspect the whole tyre properly so a hidden weakness does not turn into a blowout further along the road.
Can you repair a tyre that hit debris or a kerb on the carriageway?
It depends entirely on where the damage sits. If a sharp object has left a clean hole in the tread and the rest of the tyre is sound, we can usually plug and patch it there and then. If the strike has reached the sidewall or torn the shoulder, or if there is now a bulge in the wall, the tyre has to be replaced. We assess it on the spot and tell you which it is.
Why is sidewall damage from a pothole never repairable?
The sidewall bends with every single wheel rotation, so it carries stress the flat tread never sees. There is no plug or patch rated to stay put in that flexing zone, and at A-road speeds a bodged wall can let go without warning. So a cut, split, bulge or blister in the sidewall always means a new tyre. It is a safety line we will not cross.
How do I book and pay?
There is nothing to pay up front. A free enquiry takes about two minutes, then we ring you back to confirm the price and a time. The final figure depends on whether it turns out to be a repair or a fresh tyre, and we confirm the price with you at the roadside before we set off.
Do you actually come out to me on A14?
That is the whole idea of the service. We are fully mobile and we reach you at your safe spot on or near the A14, whether that is the hard shoulder, an emergency area or a junction lay-by, usually within about an hour where conditions allow. It saves you limping along on a broken tyre or waiting for a tow to a distant garage.
