A tyre found flat at Wolverhampton station after the London train, or on a Compton drive before work, needs a fitter, not a drive to a garage. Flat tyre help means the decision is made at the car.
Wolverhampton flats can be found in car parks and on drives. Commuters back at the station or St George's Metro stop, shoppers returning to the Mander Centre multi-storey, nurses at a New Cross staff bay after a shift, students on a Whitmore Reans street. A screw from the Willenhall Road that leaked slowly, a valve that gave up, a kerb pinch from the ring road that finally let go. Driving on it to find out how bad it is ruins the liner and often the rim.
Leave the car and ring with where it is, the postcode and the sidewall code. In a multi-storey with some air left, drive gently to a side street outside the A4150 first. The fitter reinflates the tyre to find the leak, takes it off the rim, and decides: an internal patch for a small tread hole where the casing is undamaged, a replacement in the right size where the valve, liner or shoulder has gone. The cost was given on the phone; the verdict is explained at the car.
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 Wolverhampton as well.
The same Brent Cross team also handles broken tyre replacement in Wolverhampton and emergency tyre replacement in Wolverhampton, booked on the same call.
Drives in Tettenhall, Penn, Compton or Bushbury, the station car park if the operator is warned, a New Cross bay if the office is warned, or a quiet street in Blakenhall. The Mander and Wulfrun multi-storeys are awkward, so mention them when you ring.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Wolverhampton page
Noticed a flat on Birmingham Road (A4123) or Thompson Avenue (A4123)? Indicate, ease off and slip into a side road towards Parkfield or Ettingshall Park instead of halting on the main road. Hazards on, stand on the footway side, then ring and tell us the street and whether the tyre is low or completely down.
Flat on the drive in Bushbury? Start with the valve, because a bent or cracked stem lets a tyre down overnight. Then scan the tread for a screw from the Willenhall Road and the sidewall for a fresh kerb scrape from a ring road roundabout, and press the other three tyres to see if any feel soft. Driving the flat to a garage wrecks the liner, so leave it be. A space-saver copes with short distances at modest speed, but it is not built for the Stafford Road commute.
