Hook Junction and the Hook Underpass are where the A243 meets the A3 Kingston Bypass, and that pairing places this Hook firmly in Kingston upon Thames, KT9 and KT6. Rescue Tyres works on the tyre at the car, never on the bypass.

Tyre trouble in Hook?

Sitting next to a trunk road has consequences for tyres. Debris gets flung off the A3 lanes, kerbs get clipped at the Hook Junction slip roads, and a wheel that takes a knock on the Kingston Bypass can be holding air one moment and flat by the time it reaches Hook Road. Nobody is allowed to stop on the A3 itself, so the drill is to leave it at the junction, park up on a side street, and call from there with the size and the address.

What we do in Hook
Tyre work in Hook.
Punctures make up the bulk of it, and a hole in the tread that BS AU 159 allows to be mended is dealt with from inside the casing rather than plugged from outside. Beyond that: new tyres in the size on the vehicle, including run-flat and EV fitments, a full replacement when a tyre has been destroyed, and locking wheel nut removal for the key that is no longer in the glovebox. The van is equipped to fit and balance the wheel before it goes back on. Work is booked day and night, seven days a week.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Hook
Drives, bays and car parks.
Driveways take most of the work, and a car on a level drive can be jacked and finished without anyone leaving the property. Otherwise the fitter wants a residential street off the Hook Road with parked cars either side, which slows everything passing. Working room matters more than space: enough to swing a wheel off and set it down, and somewhere to stand that is not in a traffic lane. The A3 in any form, including the slip roads and the underpass, is not a place where a wheel comes off.
Most of Hook is residential, which makes it straightforward: the terraces and semis off Hook Road, the roads running towards Chessington North, and the KT6 edge that shades into Tolworth, Surbiton and Long Ditton. People ring from a drive, from outside a house, or from the pavement side of a parked car after a walk back from Chessington North or Surbiton station. The Hook Underpass and the Esher Bypass are the two places a fitter will not attend, whatever has happened to the tyre, because a car stood on a trunk road is a danger to everyone in it. If the car genuinely cannot be moved and you are in danger, dial 999.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Hook.
After dark the callers are usually people who have come off the A3 with something wrong and pulled into the first side street they found. That is exactly right. Ring 07473 720871, name the street the car is sitting on and describe what has happened to the tyre, and an arrival time is settled there and then.

Hook FAQs
Questions from Hook.
Which Hook is this, given there are several in the country?
The London one, in Kingston upon Thames, covering KT9 and part of KT6, around Hook Road and the Hook Underpass on the A3. Chessington North station is the nearest, and Tolworth and Surbiton sit just up the road.
My tyre went on the A3 near the Hook Underpass. Can you come to me there?
Not on the bypass, no. Nobody may stop on it, and a fitter working there would be putting you and himself in front of moving traffic. Come off at the junction onto Hook Road or a residential street, park safely, then call.
Can you fit a tyre outside a house on Hook Road?
Hook Road carries a fair amount of traffic, so a turning off it is far better than the road itself. Park in the side street, tell the fitter the name of it and the number of the nearest house, and the job gets done at the kerb.
Is a run-flat worth repairing after a puncture?
It depends what the tyre has been through. A run-flat driven while deflated may have damaged its own sidewall structure, and that is not repairable. Where the casing has come through intact and the puncture lies where BS AU 159 allows a repair, it is mended like any other tyre.
