Came back to a flat at Chesham station or woke to one in Ley Hill? Do not drive it anywhere. Rescue Tyres comes out, and whether it is a patch or a new tyre is settled at the car.
Flat tyres in Chesham are discovered in quiet places. A commuter off the Metropolitan line finds a wheel sitting on its rim in the small station car park, or a car left outside a Newtown terrace while its owner was away has gone completely flat. The temptation is to limp it up the A416 to a garage, but hills are the worst place to drive on a deflated tyre, which overheats and folds.
Stay put and describe the spot: which corner of the station car park, a space in Water Meadow, or the house number on the Chessmount estate. Check the glovebox for the locking key and, if light allows, note the size moulded on the tyre wall. With the wheel off, the fitter traces the leak and makes the call there: a small hole mid-tread gets a patch-plug under BS AU 159, while a crushed or cut casing means a new tyre.
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 Chesham as well.
Other jobs we do at the car include broken tyre replacement and wheel balancing in Chesham.
Flats are dealt with in Chesham station car park, given the owner's consent, Water Meadow and Star Yard, on estates such as Pond Park and on the tighter terraces if a jack fits. A car flat on a narrow lane near Botley needs a gateway, not the bend.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Chesham page
Flat on Hempstead Road or Box Lane, the B4505 between Bovingdon and Boxmoor? Provided control is not in doubt, ease on to a turning or a wider stretch, put the hazards on and stand well away from the carriageway. Look for the locking wheel nut key, read the tyre size, then phone with the B4505 and the junction you are nearest to.
A flat on the car outside your Newtown home? Start by glancing at all four, and if more than one is down, say so when you ring. On the flat tyre itself, search for a nail, a bent or cracked valve, or a graze on the wall from a kerb. Driving it to a Chesham garage finishes the casing on the first climb out of the valley. A space-saver is only for slow, short journeys, so a safely parked car should stay in Newtown.
