Can every flat tyre in CO12 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in CO12 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 Harwich are replacements.

Does CO12 mean you will arrive in a fixed number of minutes?

No. Traffic in Colchester, and how far the technician has to travel, set the time for CO12. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from CO12?

Say the street in Harwich, the code CO12, 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 Harwich

In Harwich 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 CO12 and the first spot is unsafe, say so. Moving one street is better than abandoning the job.

When the job in Harwich 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.
