Walked out to a tyre squashed onto its rim, whether outside an Askett cottage or at Monks Risborough station? In Princes Risborough, keep the engine off and phone us.
Around HP27 a flat usually greets you on a cold morning instead of announcing itself at the wheel. A slow leak from something picked up on the B4009 Icknield Way leaves the car on its rim by morning on a drive in Askett, or a commuter returns from Marylebone to a sagging tyre at the station. Nursing it towards a garage in High Wycombe seems sensible, yet even the length of Picts Lane on no air can shred the liner, ending any hope of a patch.
Keep the car stationary. Ring or WhatsApp with where it is parked, the size code and whether a locking key lives in the glovebox. The fitter arrives, lifts the car and hunts for the culprit: a screw near the crown gets a patch-plug, while damage to the shoulder, sidewall or inner lining means a new tyre. Both outcomes and their prices are explained on the phone, so the verdict at the car brings no surprise.
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 Princes Risborough as well.
You can book broken tyre replacement in Princes Risborough or locking wheel nut removal in Princes Risborough on the same call.
Flats are sorted on Askett and Monks Risborough drives, on the unrestricted roads towards Longwick and in both station car parks, where the owner permits it. Cramped short-stay bays on the High Street or Market Square are harder, so we talk through the options when you ring.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Princes Risborough page
Straight after a flat on Aylesbury Road (B4009), ease off, signal and leave the road at the next village turning instead of grinding on the rim. Halton and Dunsmore both have quieter residential streets for this. Once parked, keep everyone back from the traffic side, dig out the locking key, and ring with the nearest junction or house name so the van heads to the right spot.
Before ringing, crouch by the other three wheels, since a flint lane that deflated one may have nicked a second. On the flat corner, run your eye over the tread for a nail, check whether the valve stem has cracked and look for a fresh scrape where a High Street kerb bit. A space-saver can get you home slowly if you know how to fit it, though its speed limit rules out the M40. Otherwise leave the car on the Askett drive or in the station car park and ring.
