Can every flat tyre in W9 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in W9 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 Maida Hill are replacements.

Does W9 mean you will arrive in a fixed number of minutes?

No. Traffic in west London, and how far the technician has to travel, set the time for W9. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from W9?

Say the street in Maida Hill, the code W9, what the tyre looks like, and whether you have the locking wheel nut key. A photo helps if you can take one safely.

The inside of the tyre

The finished repair for a puncture in Maida Hill 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 W9 is a roadside spot, we still need enough room to take the wheel off.

Spare wheels and Maida Hill

A space-saver spare is a temporary, speed-limited wheel, not a repaired tyre. If you have already fitted one in Maida Hill, we can still come and fit a proper tyre. If you have no spare and the tyre is off the bead, do not try to drive across W9. Wait where the car is safe.

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 Maida Hill does not make it legal. If the tread on the W9 car is already on the wear bars, expect a replacement quote, not a repair quote.

Booking Maida Hill
