A flat tyre spotted at Atherstone station after the train, or on a Grendon drive in the morning, should stay put. Call, and the fitter weighs up patch or new tyre beside it.
In Atherstone a flat can be waiting for you rather than felt on the road. Commuters coming back on the Trent Valley line find one corner down in the station car park, shift workers at the Holly Lane units return to a flat after hours, and people in Baddesley Ensor wake to a wheel resting on its rim. Crawling to a garage along the B4114 wrecks a tyre that a patch might otherwise have saved.
Leave the car parked and message us the spot, the sidewall size and anything you can see in the tread. The fitter then hunts for the cause. A nail or bolt in the central tread is repaired to the standard; a faulty valve is replaced; a sidewall injury or a liner shredded from running on no air needs a new tyre. Whichever it proves to be, its price is agreed before work starts.
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 Atherstone as well.
If the job turns out to be different, see broken tyre replacement, emergency tyre replacement or burst tyre replacement in Atherstone.
Wherever the car sits in Atherstone: the station car park, a Grendon or Mancetter drive, the leisure complex, or a staff car park. If it is on a steep street in Baddesley Ensor or Dordon, say so on the call.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Atherstone page
Driving in from Tamworth on the B5000, labelled Tamworth Road and then Grendon Road, a flat needs a steady turn into a side street near Polesworth station or into the village, well clear of any bend. Before ringing, note a house number or landmark close by and check the tyre size, which speeds the conversation.
A flat outside a Hartshill house deserves a look at the other tyres too; A5 wire rarely singles one out. On the flat, search for a bolt head, a cracked valve, or a scuffed wall from a Long Street kerb. Driving it to an Atherstone garage folds the sidewall and can crack the alloy, even over a short distance. Some cars carry a space-saver with a low speed cap moulded on it; many do not. Either way, leaving the car parked and phoning is the safer call.
