Off the train at Richmond station and one tyre has settled onto the rim. Leave it in the car park rather than limping round Richmond Circus or over Twickenham Bridge; the fitter comes to the bay.
A tyre found flat in Richmond upon Thames can be found rather than felt: in the Richmond station car park, on a permit street by Kew Gardens station, on a Mortlake drive early on a Monday. The cause could be a valve, a nail from Mortlake Road or a slow leak that has finally lost patience. Whatever it is, the tyre might still be repairable, and a mile through East Sheen on the rim would end that chance and score the wheel as well.
Text the size from the tyre wall, the TW or SW postcode and precisely where the car is, station car park level, Kew street or Mortlake drive, to 07473 720871. At the car the fitter pumps the tyre up, traces the leak and gives you the verdict on the spot: an internal patch-plug for a small central hole, or a fresh tyre off the van where the damage says no. Both figures are agreed before the van leaves Brent Cross.

Richmond and Twickenham station car parks with room alongside the car, Kew Gardens and Barnes station streets if the bay is yours, driveways in Mortlake, Ham and Hampton. Not on the A205 or A316; a car flat on either needs moving to a side street. Firm gravel drives work.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Richmond upon Thames page
Finding a flat in Teddington, the first job is getting off Kingston Road (A310) or The Causeway without damaging the rim further. Roll slowly into a side road near Teddington station or Hampton Wick station, set the handbrake and switch the hazards on. Then check whether the tyre is completely flat or slowly losing air, and send us a photo with your street name. Keep the locking-key and wheel trim to hand.
Finding a Mortlake car flat, check its other three tyres before anything else. Look along the tread for a nail, listen at the valve for a hiss, and search the sidewall for a fresh kerb scrape. No garage on the South Circular is worth reaching on a flat, however close. Space-savers are skinny spares, speed-limited and meant only for short hops, and they need a safe place to fit. Your own drive or the Barnes station car park, if permitted, is a good place to leave the car.
