Back from the Metropolitan line to find a flat on a Rayners Lane bay? Do not drive it. The fitter comes to HA2, finds the cause and repairs or replaces the tyre there.
Commuter cars parked all day near Rayners Lane and North Harrow stations can come back to a flat, because a slow leak has eight hours to finish the job. The bays are controlled and the streets narrow, so people try to nurse the car home along the A404 Pinner Road. That is how a nail in the tread, a straightforward repair, becomes a crushed sidewall and a tyre in the bin.
Keep the car where it is and ring with the street and the tyre size. If the bay's permit hours are about to bite, say so and the fitter plans around it. The tyre comes off, the cause is found, and the fitter says whether it is a repairable puncture to BS AU 159, a valve or a bead leak, or damage that needs a replacement, with the cost of each option given on the phone before any work is done.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Harrow page
With a flat on Greenford Road, the first steps are to ease off, look for a side road or parking area, and stop well clear of any junction. Switch on the hazards and keep passengers on the pavement. Near Sudbury & Harrow Road station or along Sudbury Court Drive, a residential street is a sensible place to wait while you send us the location.
Before anything else on a Rayners Lane avenue, inspect all four corners, because a screw-strewn building plot rarely damages only one tyre. On the flat, look for a nail head, a cracked rubber valve or a fresh scrape where it rubbed a kerb. Driving it to a garage along the A312 Northolt Road would chew the sidewall to pieces. A space-saver is a slow, short-distance spare only, and plenty of cars have none. Leave the car on its Rayners Lane drive or avenue.
