Back from London at six and the rear tyre is flat on the ground in Surbiton's station car park. Keep the ticket showing, leave the car, and the fitter decides in the bay.
A Kingston flat tyre can be found at the end of a journey: commuters at Surbiton, Berrylands and New Malden stations, Kingston Hospital staff in the Norbiton streets after a shift, a Chessington family at the drive in the morning. The pull is to limp to a garage on the Ewell Road. Even a short drive on a flat wrecks the sidewall and can crack the wheel, so a repairable nail becomes a replacement.
Message the location and a shot of the tyre, or ring. Wherever the car stands in Kingston upon Thames, the fitter lifts it, inflates the tyre, and decides on site: nail in the tread, repair from inside; leaking valve, replaced; corroded rim seal, cleaned; failed sidewall, a tyre of matching size if the van carries one. Repair or replacement, the option and the figure come to you before the work begins.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Kingston upon Thames page
Feel the steering pull on Surbiton Hill Road or Brighton Road and the tyre may be going flat. Indicate, ease off and pick a residential turning away from the A240, the A243 or Victoria Road where the car can sit clear of buses and lorries. Then switch on the hazard lights, check the tyre from the kerb side and call us with the street name.
Discovered a flat on a Chessington or Hook driveway? Walk round and check the other three, then look for a nail from the trading estates, a damaged valve or a graze from a kerb. Do not try to reach a garage along Hook Road on it, as a flat tyre breaks up inside after a short run. A space-saver spare, where one is carried, only gets you home slowly. Leaving the car on the drive gives the fitter an easy job.
