Can every flat tyre in LU7 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in LU7 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 Ledburn are replacements.

Does LU7 mean you will arrive in a fixed number of minutes?

No. Traffic in Luton, and how far the technician has to travel, set the time for LU7. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from LU7?

Say the street in Ledburn, the code LU7, what the tyre looks like, and whether you have the locking wheel nut key. A photo helps if you can take one safely.

In Ledburn (LU7) the technician inspects the tyre on site and says whether an internal patch is suitable or the tyre has to be replaced. The price is agreed first.

What LU7 refers to

LU7 is in Luton. LU is Luton and south Bedfordshire, including the airport. The drop-off road is not a place to jack a car.

Ledburn is one district in LU7. The same outward code also covers Ivinghoe (LU7), Leighton Buzzard (LU7), Pitstone (LU7), and Soulbury (LU7).

Red routes, bays, and Ledburn

Stopping restrictions in Ledburn are part of the job. A red route, a bus lane, or a private car park with clamping can make a legal repair impossible where you first stopped. LU7 still has side streets and driveways. Tell us which entrance to use if the vehicle is at work.

The inside of the tyre

The finished repair for a puncture in Ledburn is a patch from the inside, after the tyre is off the rim, in the manner of BS AU 159. A rope plug pushed in from the outside is not that repair. We will not describe it as one. If LU7 is a roadside spot, we still need enough room to take the wheel off.

One axle, not one corner

If the other tyre on the same axle in Ledburn is much more worn, a single new tyre can upset braking in the wet. We will say so before you pay. The speed and load codes on the sidewall have to match what the car was given. LU7 does not change the axle. It only changes the drive.
