A tyre sitting flat on your drive in Little Chalfont or in the Amersham station car park should not be driven on. Call, stay put, and the decision is made at the car.
A flat tyre in Amersham is often discovered rather than felt. A commuter returns to Little Chalfont station and the rear corner is sagging, or a car left on a permit avenue near Sycamore Road over a long weekend has settled onto its rim. The temptation is to crawl it home along the A404 or to a garage, but a few hundred metres on no air can crush the casing and cost you a tyre that a patch would have saved.
Keep the car parked and tell us exactly where it is, whether a station bay number, a road name in Amersham Common or your own drive. Read the size off the sidewall if you can. With the wheel off, the fitter tracks down what let the air out and chooses on the spot: a clean tread puncture gets a BS AU 159 patch, anything worse a new tyre, and you know what each would cost before the van reaches Amersham.
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 Amersham as well.
Once you have rung, we can also cover broken tyre replacement, emergency tyre repair in Amersham and 24 hour tyre service.
Station car parks at Amersham, with permission, and Little Chalfont, residents' bays on the hill and open roads in Chesham Bois all work. If a flat has left the car jutting into traffic on Old Amersham High Street, a slow roll into King George V Road car park comes first.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Amersham page
Feel the tyre going soft on Chesham Road, the A416 descent towards Chesham? Indicate, slow right down and turn off near Oakfield Corner or into a quiet residential street in Old Town instead of stopping on the hill. Hazards on, everyone out and away from traffic, then look for the locking nut key and call us with where you stopped and the tyre size.
Found it flat outside a house in Amersham Common? Before anything else, circle the car and check the remaining three, since a kerb or a vandal can take out more than one. Next, crouch by the soft one: a nail head glinting in the rubber, a split valve or a fresh kerb scrape along the wall each tell a different story. Do not drive it to a garage. A space-saver only suits a slow, short Amersham journey, so the car is better left on that Amersham Common road.
