Can every flat tyre in SW7 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in SW7 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 Knightsbridge are replacements.

Does SW7 mean you will arrive in a fixed number of minutes?

No. Traffic in south-west London, and how far the technician has to travel, set the time for SW7. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from SW7?

Say the street in Knightsbridge, the code SW7, 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 Knightsbridge

In Knightsbridge 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 SW7 and the first spot is unsafe, say so. Moving one street is better than abandoning the job.

Run-flat tyres in Knightsbridge

A run-flat that has been driven while flat is often beyond a repair, even when the hole looks small. If the car in Knightsbridge showed a pressure warning and you kept going, say how far. We would rather price a replacement for SW7 than promise a patch the tyre cannot take.

When Knightsbridge 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 Knightsbridge, get somewhere safe or call the motorway authority. We fit and repair tyres where a jack can stand. We do not pretend SW7 includes the inside of a running lane.
