Can every flat tyre in NW10 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in NW10 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 Kensal Green are replacements.

Does NW10 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 NW10. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from NW10?

Say the street in Kensal Green, the code NW10, what the tyre looks like, and whether you have the locking wheel nut key. A photo helps if you can take one safely.

Legal tread is separate from the puncture

UK tyres need at least 1.6 mm of tread across the central three-quarters of the width, all the way round. Patching a bald tyre in Kensal Green does not make it legal. If the tread on the NW10 car is already on the wear bars, expect a replacement quote, not a repair quote.

When Kensal Green is the wrong kind of job

A car stuck in a live lane of a motorway is a recovery problem before it is a tyre problem. If that is where you are, even if the nearest district is Kensal Green, get somewhere safe or call the motorway authority. We fit and repair tyres where a jack can stand. We do not pretend NW10 includes the inside of a running lane.

After the wheel goes back on

When the job in Kensal Green 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 NW10 repair is a reason to call back before a long trip.
