Emergency tyre help across Sutton, day or night
When a tyre goes in Sutton, it tends to happen on the roads everyone uses: the A217 between Rosehill and Belmont, the A232 through Cheam and Carshalton, or a side street in Wallington lined with parked cars. Maybe you heard a bang near the Rosehill roundabout, maybe the car felt wrong on Reigate Avenue, or maybe you simply walked out to find one tyre flat on the drive. Call us at any hour and we'll send the nearest available mobile fitter with a replacement tyre to wherever the car is.
We aim to be with you within 60 minutes in most cases, depending on your location and the traffic at the time. We'll give you a fair estimate when you call.
Before anything else: you and your passengers
A flat with children in the back on the school run, or a pensioner parent in the passenger seat, changes priorities. Get everyone out of harm's way first and think about the car second.
- On the A217 Sutton by-pass or Belmont Rise: the traffic is quick and there isn't much room. Slow down steadily and turn into a side road or a car park if you can do so safely. If you have to stop on the road, switch on the hazards and get everyone onto the pavement, away from the kerb edge.
- Heading south on the A217 to the M25 at junction 8: once you are on the motorway, stop on the hard shoulder or in an emergency area, put the hazards on, leave by the left-hand doors and wait behind the barrier. From an emergency area, or if you're stuck in a live lane, call National Highways on 0300 123 5000. Read more in our motorway flat tyre advice.
- On residential streets: stop clear of junctions and dropped kerbs, and keep children on the pavement side of the car.
Replace or repair beside the car
The usual outcome is a new tyre fitted where the car is sitting. If there's a single small hole in the main part of the tread and the tyre hasn't been driven on flat, a repair to British Standard guidance may be the better answer, and the fitter will tell you on the spot. Where a car can't be worked on safely, for instance with a buckled wheel on a busy stretch of the A217, we can arrange breakdown recovery instead.
Tyres are available in premium, mid-range and budget brands and come with the manufacturer's guarantee. We balance the wheel and take away the old tyre for free, and the price is competitive with no hidden fees.
Check for a locking wheel nut key: if one nut on each wheel looks different from the rest, you need its key. It is usually in the glovebox or with the tool kit in the boot.
When the tyre goes down slowly
Not every emergency starts with a bang. A tyre that has been losing a little air for days can leave you stranded just as surely, usually at the worst moment, such as first thing on a weekday. The signs are often there beforehand: a car that pulls slightly, a tyre that looks lower than the others, or the pressure warning on the dashboard. Our article on slow puncture signs runs through them. If the tyre is now very low, don't drive to a garage on it. Call us and we'll come to the car.
Areas of the borough we reach
We cover Sutton town centre and every district around it: Cheam, North Cheam, Belmont, Carshalton, Carshalton Beeches, Wallington, Beddington, Hackbridge, Worcester Park, Rosehill and St Helier. On the main roads we work along the A217, the A232 and the A24. Next door, fitters also reach Mitcham, Croydon and Epsom.
Before you dial, note down
- Your location: the street, a postcode, or the nearest roundabout or junction.
- What happened, and whether the tyre is completely flat, damaged or just low.
- The tyre size from the sidewall, for example 195/65 R15, or the car's registration.
- Who is with you, and whether you've all found somewhere safe to wait.
