Can every flat tyre in W3 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in W3 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 North Acton are replacements.

Does W3 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 W3. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from W3?

Say the street in North Acton, the code W3, what the tyre looks like, and whether you have the locking wheel nut key. A photo helps if you can take one safely.

The locking wheel nut in North Acton

A large share of delays on a W3 call-out are missing locking wheel nut keys, not missing tyres. Before you call from North Acton, look in the glovebox, the boot wallet, and the service book. If the key is lost, say that at the start. The visit can still happen, but the time and the method change, and you should hear that before anyone sets off.

When North Acton 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 North Acton, get somewhere safe or call the motorway authority. We fit and repair tyres where a jack can stand. We do not pretend W3 includes the inside of a running lane.

After the wheel goes back on

When the job in North Acton 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 W3 repair is a reason to call back before a long trip.
