Can every flat tyre in NW5 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in NW5 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 Gospel Oak are replacements.

Does NW5 mean you will arrive in a fixed number of minutes?

No. Traffic in north-west London, and how far the technician has to travel, set the time for NW5. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from NW5?

Say the street in Gospel Oak, the code NW5, 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 Gospel Oak

In Gospel Oak 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 NW5 and the first spot is unsafe, say so. Moving one street is better than abandoning the job.

Vans parked in Gospel Oak

If the vehicle in Gospel Oak is a van, say so before the quote. Light commercial tyres carry a load index the car stock will not satisfy. Read the sidewall if you can do it without standing in traffic. Twin rear wheels take longer. A NW5 yard with a height barrier needs mentioning too, or the van we send may not fit through it.

After the wheel goes back on

When the job in Gospel Oak is finished, the wheel nuts are tightened and the pressure is set. You should be able to drive. If the tyre was replaced, keep the old one only if you want it. We do not leave a patched sidewall in service. Any warning light still on after a NW5 repair is a reason to call back before a long trip.
