Can every flat tyre in E8 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in E8 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 Haggerston are replacements.

Does E8 mean you will arrive in a fixed number of minutes?

No. Traffic in east London, and how far the technician has to travel, set the time for E8. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from E8?

Say the street in Haggerston, the code E8, what the tyre looks like, and whether you have the locking wheel nut key. A photo helps if you can take one safely.

Tread or sidewall in Haggerston

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 Haggerston. If you can see the damage from a safe place, describe it. E8 only tells us where to drive. The tyre decides the repair.

Vans parked in Haggerston

If the vehicle in Haggerston 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 E8 yard with a height barrier needs mentioning too, or the van we send may not fit through it.
