Came back to a flat at Biggleswade station or on your Holme drive? Leave the car where it stands, and the fitter decides beside it whether the tyre can be mended or must be swapped.
Flat tyres in SG18 are often found after the car has stood for hours. Great Northern commuters back from King's Cross find a wheel down to the rim beside the Biggleswade platform car park, walkers on Biggleswade Common come back to one down, and a slow puncture from A1 debris empties overnight on a Stratton Park drive. Driving on it, even a few hundred metres, can destroy the sidewall and rule out a repair altogether.
Do not reinflate and drive; just call or WhatsApp with where the car is and a picture of the tyre. The fitter takes the wheel off beside the car and looks inside the casing. A central puncture in a Holme or Kings Reach tyre that was left parked, never run flat, can be repaired. If the sidewall has creased from standing deflated, or the hole is off to one side, the SG18 replacement goes on once you have agreed its cost.
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 Biggleswade as well.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Biggleswade page
A flat found in Millennium Meadow Car Park, by Henlow Recreation Ground or on a Langford street off High Street (B659) is easy to sort if the car stays put. Do not drive it to a garage on the rim. Check whether the tyre is completely empty or just low, look for anything stuck in the tread, and send a photo of the sidewall size so we can tell you what happens next.
Flat on the drive in Stratton Park? Glance at the other three first, because A1 debris does not always pick a single tyre. On the deflated Stratton Park wheel, hunt for a nail, a valve that hisses or bends, or a fresh kerb mark. Driving it to a garage across Biggleswade folds the wall under the rim and wipes out the repair option. A skinny temporary spare in the boot is meant only for a short, gentle trip. Station bay, retail park or drive: leave it put and message us.
