Can every flat tyre in SW2 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in SW2 is only suitable when the damage is in the central tread and the tyre can come off the wheel for an internal patch. Sidewall cuts in Brixton are replacements.

Does SW2 mean you will arrive in a fixed number of minutes?

No. Traffic in south-west London, and how far the technician has to travel, set the time for SW2. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from SW2?

Say the street in Brixton, the code SW2, what the tyre looks like, and whether you have the locking wheel nut key. A photo helps if you can take one safely.

Where a jack can stand in Brixton

In Brixton the useful question is the surface under the vehicle, not the district slogan. A flat driveway, a marked bay, or a quiet side street lets the technician raise the car. A camber, a soft verge, or a live lane does not. If you are in SW2 and the first spot is unsafe, say so. Moving one street is better than abandoning the job.

The locking wheel nut in Brixton

A large share of delays on a SW2 call-out are missing locking wheel nut keys, not missing tyres. Before you call from Brixton, look in the glovebox, the boot wallet, and the service book. If the key is lost, say that at the start. The visit can still happen, but the time and the method change, and you should hear that before anyone sets off.

Tread or sidewall in Brixton

A nail in the central tread can often be repaired once the tyre is off the wheel. A cut, bubble, or cord in the sidewall cannot. That rule does not change because the car is in Brixton. If you can see the damage from a safe place, describe it. SW2 only tells us where to drive. The tyre decides the repair.

Booking Brixton

School-run traffic changes the Brixton arrival even when the postcode stays the same. A space-saver already fitted in Brixton does not end the need for a proper tyre. Stay with the car in Brixton so the technician can identify it. Height barriers on car parks in Brixton stop some vans.
