Walked back to the car in Hinckley or at Fosse Park and found a tyre sitting flat? Leave it where it is; we come out and decide the fix beside the car.
A tyre that goes flat overnight or during a shift may have had a slow leak picked up on the M69 the day before. It can happen in the car parks of the distribution sites near Ansty or on driveways in Burbage and Sapcote, where the car sat after a commute from Coventry or Leicester. Even a few hundred yards on no air can ruin a sidewall that would otherwise have been worth saving.
Keep the car parked and ring 07473 720871 with the location and the tyre size. On arrival we remove the wheel and examine the tyre on both faces. If the cause is a small tread puncture and the casing is sound, it is repaired; if the sidewall has been flattened or cut, a new tyre is fitted. You hear the price for either outcome before we leave London.
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 near the M69 as well.
Other jobs we do at the car include broken tyre replacement on the M69 and 24 hour tyre repair on the M69.
A driveway in Burbage or Sapcote, a staff car park at Ansty Park, a Hinckley retail car park or Fosse Park are all fine. A car that went flat on the M69 itself needs recovery off it first.

When a tyre goes soft on the M69, switch on the hazard lights and, provided the car still handles safely, leave at the next junction. Once off the motorway, a quiet road in Whitestone, a street just off Lutterworth Road, the B4114, or one near Highfield Road gives room to stop properly. Ring with the registration to hand and we will talk through what the tyre probably needs.
Found flat in Sapcote or at Fosse Park? Walk round the other three first, because M69 debris rarely picks just one wheel. Next, inspect the deflated tyre for a screw in the tread blocks, a wobbling valve or a grey kerb graze along the sidewall. Rolling to a Hinckley garage on no air crushes the casing. A space-saver, where fitted, is a short-hop spare with a low speed cap, unfit for the M69. Leave the car on that Sapcote drive or Fosse Park bay.
