Found a tyre flat on the drive in Wigmore or at Leagrave station? Keep the car still and call; in Luton the fitter comes to it and decides what it needs.
Luton flats tend to appear overnight or during a trip. A commuter walks back into the Leagrave station car park to a sagging tyre, a family back from a fortnight away finds one corner down in the airport long-stay, and a Lewsey Farm driver opens the front door to a rim resting on rubber. Driving it anywhere, even to a garage on Dunstable Road, crushes the sidewall and usually turns a fixable puncture into a new tyre.
Leave the car and ring or WhatsApp the location, registration and tyre size, and find the locking key if there is one. The fitter jacks the car, finds the leak and inspects inside the tyre. A small hole near the crown earns a patch-plug; shoulder or sidewall wounds, or a liner broken up by flat running, mean a replacement. Both options are priced on the call so you know before the fitter arrives.
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 Luton as well.
If the job turns out to be different, see broken tyre replacement in Luton, 24 hour tyre repair or emergency mobile tyre fitting.
Flat tyres are dealt with on Wigmore and Lewsey Farm drives, open kerbs in Sundon Park, the Leagrave and Luton station car parks, and London Luton Airport's long-stay. A car on a Bury Park permit street is fine outside match days.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Luton page
Feel a flat on Stockingstone Road or Montrose Avenue (A5228)? Slow down, indicate and turn into the nearest residential street before stopping, because a long drive on the rim ruins the wheel. Then switch on the hazards, move everyone onto the pavement and look for the locking key. Call with the street name, or with Cockernhoe or Mangrove Green if you are further out.
Having found one tyre down, look at the others, since a Luton street that punctured one can mark another. On the flat, the usual culprits are a gouge from the Bury Park kerbs, a weeping valve or a screw. Taking it to a garage on Dunstable Road with no air ends any chance of a repair. Where a space-saver lives under the boot floor, treat it as a short, slow fix only. Otherwise the car stays in the Leagrave station car park, on the drive or in its bay.
