Torn sidewall or wrecked tread, yet the car still has to reach Corby along the A43 today? We bring a tyre in the right size and fit it where you are parked.
Some tyres simply cannot be saved. A carcass run flat for a mile along the A14 before the Kettering exit, a gash from debris at lorry speed, or a puncture right on the shoulder all fall outside what a repair can fix. That matters when the car is the only way to reach a Corby shift or collect children in Rushden, and the boot holds no spare at all, or just a space-saver not meant for long dual carriageway runs.
The most useful thing you can send is every character of the sidewall code, load index and speed letter included, plus whether the car has run-flats. That lets us load a matching tyre before setting off, where the size is available. On arrival the fitter fits and balances it, checks the other three for tread depth and damage, and tells you honestly if any is close to the limit. The price is agreed on the call beforehand.
Our Brent Cross team also offers burst tyre replacement on the A14, puncture repair on the A14 and 24 hour tyre repair.
Park in Corby or Kettering via the A43 off J7, on Thrapston high street at J13, or in a Rushden street. Never wait on the A14 verge or the Thrapston (J13) roundabout; a car that cannot move there needs 999 and recovery.

Emergency tyre replacement explained →Emergency tyre replacement on the A14 page
Replacing a ruined tyre needs room beside the car and a safe spot off the A14. Around Rothwell and Desborough that could be Pipewell Road Industrial Estate or a street off Desborough Road, both reached from the Rothwell Interchange on the A6. Photograph the lettering on its undamaged partner, tell us the place and road number, and the replacement is priced before the van sets off.
Getting it right on the first trip up the A14 matters, because the van cannot pop back to London for another size. On the call we ask for the sidewall size, load index and speed rating, whether it says run-flat or XL, and which brand is on the partner wheel across the axle, so the two agree. Answer the stock question honestly, then wait in a Kettering town car park off J7, where the van can stand clear of traffic.
