Came off a late train at Wellingborough to find one tyre sitting flat in the Midland Road bays? Leave it where it sits. A fitter walks up to the car and chooses between a repair and a new tyre.
A Wellingborough flat can be discovered on return. A commuter off the Midland Main Line finds one corner of the car low in the station car park, a visitor leaves Isebrook Hospital to a tyre on its rim, or an evening at the Castle Theatre ends with a sagging tyre nearby. A slow leak from A45 debris has quietly done its work.
Keep the car where it is, since driving on an empty tyre even around the block shreds the sidewall and rules out a repair. Send the size, a photo and the exact location, bay or level included. With the tyre separated from the wheel, its inside is examined; a BS AU 159 patch follows where the rules allow, otherwise a new tyre goes on.
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 Wellingborough as well.

The station car park on Midland Road is spacious. At Isebrook Hospital or around Swansgate, where the operator allows it, give the car park and bay. Multi-storey upper levels can be too low for the van, so tell us the floor.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Wellingborough page
Going flat on Wellingborough Road, the A510, or on Bypass Road along the A6 and Burton Road beyond it, means indicating and pulling into the first side road or business entrance with space. Straight after stopping, hazards on, passengers out on the pavement side, and keep well away from the traffic. Note the nearest junction or building and send a pin to us.
A flat found in Hemmingwell or Queensway often has a visible cause. Kneel by it and trace the tread for a nail, look at the rubber valve for cracking, and scan the sidewall for a kerb graze from London Road. Glance at the remaining tyres too, since slow leaks can come in pairs. Taking it to a garage on the rim is the mistake to avoid. A space-saver is an option at its printed maximum speed; otherwise the car stays put for the fitter.
