Can every flat tyre in N6 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in N6 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 Highgate are replacements.

Does N6 mean you will arrive in a fixed number of minutes?

No. Traffic in north London, and how far the technician has to travel, set the time for N6. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from N6?

Say the street in Highgate, the code N6, what the tyre looks like, and whether you have the locking wheel nut key. A photo helps if you can take one safely.

When the job in Highgate 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.
