When the A45 has left a tyre no patch can save and the car is needed today in Wellingborough, Thrapston or Yardley, a matching tyre is mounted beside it in your street or car park.
Unrepairable damage comes in several forms here. A shoulder puncture from Brackmills debris, a sidewall ripped by a Coventry Road kerb in Sheldon, or a tyre shredded by being driven from Chowns Mill to Raunds after it went soft all put repair out of the question. For a rep with calls across Northamptonshire, a family due at Birmingham Airport, or a Wellingborough driver on the school run, a wait of several days for a Northampton garage slot will not do.
Photograph the sidewall, where the load index and speed letter follow the size, so the correct tyre comes out. It is fitted to the wheel at the car, balanced and torqued, and the three remaining tyres on the car are gauged for tread and looked over for cuts. Options and prices are settled on the phone, so nothing unexpected happens at Rushden Lakes or on your Yardley drive, and the damaged tyre goes away for disposal.
You can book burst tyre replacement on the A45 or flat tyre help on the A45 on the same call.
Rushden Lakes, Wellingborough town car parks off the A509, Thrapston high street, the airport short-stay, the Swan centre or a Sheldon side road. Stuck in a live A45 lane, call 999 before anyone else.

Emergency tyre replacement explained →Emergency tyre replacement on the A45 page
Daventry drivers using the A45 can arrange a replacement tyre at Drayton Fields Industrial Estate, High March Industrial Estate or a home in Ashby Fields. Read the size from the damaged tyre if the sidewall is legible, otherwise from the opposite wheel on that axle. The NN11 district sits inside our Midlands coverage, with the van sent from Brent Cross.
On the call, stock depends on exactly what the sidewall says. Beyond the size we need its load number and speed symbol, and note if the wall is stamped XL or run-flat, as it often is on company cars based at Brackmills. Tell us the make already fitted opposite, across that axle, so both sides match. Then choose where the van stands: a Wellingborough car park off the A509, Thrapston high street, or the Swan centre at Yardley. Coventry Road bus lanes are never used.
