Can every flat tyre in BR6 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in BR6 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 Downe are replacements.

Does BR6 mean you will arrive in a fixed number of minutes?

No. Traffic in Bromley, and how far the technician has to travel, set the time for BR6. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from BR6?

Say the street in Downe, the code BR6, what the tyre looks like, and whether you have the locking wheel nut key. A photo helps if you can take one safely.
