Back from a walk in Ampthill Great Park to a flat tyre, or found one down on checkout morning at Center Parcs? Leave the car. We come out and decide at the car.
With no station in Ampthill, a flat means either driving on it or calling someone out. Walkers come back through the Great Park gate off Woburn Street to a tyre sagging, families at Center Parcs Woburn Forest discover one on departure day, and a slow puncture from the A507 empties overnight on a Houghton Conquest drive. Driving on it, especially uphill, destroys the sidewall.
Do not pump it up and set off. Message us the location and a picture, including the size from the sidewall. Beside the car in Ampthill the fitter jacks it up, frees the tyre and feels round inside the casing. A small central hole in a tyre that stood rather than rolled flat is mended; a crushed or creased wall means a replacement, priced with you on the call.
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 Ampthill as well.
Need something else? Our pages on broken tyre replacement in Ampthill and burst tyre replacement in Ampthill explain those jobs.
Flat tyres are dealt with in the Great Park car park, at Center Parcs once the site agrees, on drives off Flitwick Road and in the Waitrose car park. At Center Parcs, let reception know a fitter is expected.

Coming back to Wrest Park Main Car Park or Wrest Park Overflow Parking after an afternoon in the gardens, only to see one corner slumped? Leave the car exactly there; driving to Silsoe on a flat ruins the wheel. Peer at the tread for a screw or slice, photograph the sidewall markings and message them with which of the two parks you used.
Discovered a flat outside an Ampthill house? Look over the remaining three straight away, then examine the deflated one for a nail, a leaking valve or scuffing from a Georgian kerb. Resist the urge to drive it up the hill or down to Flitwick for air; the wall gets pinched and cut from the inside. A temporary spare in an Ampthill boot is designed for short, gentle use only. Leave the car on the drive, at the Great Park car park or in the Waitrose bays.
