A tyre sitting flat on a Harbury drive or at Southam Leisure Centre needs no driving at all. Leave it, ring us, and the call on repair or replacement gets made beside the car.
A Southam flat may be found at rest rather than felt on the road. A car left overnight on a Welsh Road drive sinks onto its rim by breakfast, or a parent returns to the Southam College car park to find one corner down. On the canal-side lanes at Stockton and Napton the slow ones build over days. Pumping it at an A423 forecourt feels sensible, but a tyre driven flat for even a short way shreds its inner wall.
Keep the car stationary and tell us where it is, the size from the sidewall and whether anything is stuck in the tread. The fitter looks for the cause at the car: a nail in the tread is repaired to the standard, a leaking valve gets a new one, and a sidewall wound or a crushed liner means a new tyre. Either way the choice and its cost are set out before work begins, and the car stays put in Southam.
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 Southam as well.
You can book broken tyre replacement in Southam or locking wheel nut removal in Southam on the same call.
A flat car stays where it stopped: a drive in Long Itchington, a bay at the Southam Leisure Centre, or a quiet road off Kineton Road. If it is on a sloping gateway near Napton, say so, because the jack wants level ground.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Southam page
Feeling a soft tyre along the A426 on the way to Rugby? Leave Dunchurch Road for a residential turning, or bear onto Ashlawn Road, the B4429, where Bilton's streets have kerbs to pull in against. Hazard lights go on first; anyone riding with you should step onto the verge side. Before phoning, copy the size off the sidewall.
Found a flat on a Long Itchington drive? Walk round the other three first, because a single village-lane flint can mark two tyres. Next, inspect the deflated Long Itchington tyre for a nail head, a split at the base of the valve or a kerb graze that looks new. Even the short trip to a Southam garage crushes the sidewall and may bend the rim. Any space-saver under the boot floor is a limp-home spare with its own speed cap. Without one, the car stays put and you ring.
