Damaged tyre sorted on the spot
Damaged tyre sorted on the spot
on the A5.
Run over debris on the A5 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 A5, 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.

- ✓Tread punctures plugged and patched on the spot where the tyre allows

About the A5
The road we cover.
The A5 follows the old Watling Street from London towards Holyhead, much of it fast dual carriageway across our patch. It passes Dunstable and Houghton Regis, skirts Milton Keynes and Bletchley and runs on through Atherstone, Tamworth and Cannock. It is a historic trunk road carrying steady commuter and freight 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 A5?
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.

"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."

A5 FAQs
Broken Tyre Repair on the A5, answered.
I clipped a pothole on the A5 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 A5?
That is the whole idea of the service. We are fully mobile and we reach you at your safe spot on or near the A5, 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.
