What happens
Found it flat in Acocks Green? Leave it where it is.
Flat tyres in Acocks Green are found rather than felt. A commuter walks back to the station and one corner of the car is sitting on the rim. A parent goes out to the drive off Gospel Lane at eight and the tyre has gone down overnight from a screw picked up in the village. Driving it even to the Warwick Road shops grinds the sidewall against the wheel and turns a repairable puncture into a replacement.
Ring or WhatsApp with the tyre code, the road, and whether the car is standing on a drive, in a bay or at the kerb. Air goes in beside the car to show where it is escaping, and the answer follows: a puncture in the tread's middle is patched from inside there and then; a cut wall, a failed valve or a liner destroyed by running flat calls for a new tyre from the van. Enquiring is free, and both possible totals are given on the phone before the visit.
On run-flat tyres? They behave differently once deflated, so check the handbook's limits and read our page on run-flat tyres; we fit replacement run-flat tyres at the car in Acocks Green as well.
The same Brent Cross team also handles broken tyre replacement in Acocks Green and 24 hour tyre service, booked on the same call.
