Can every flat tyre in W1D be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in W1D 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 Soho are replacements.

Does W1D 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 W1D. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from W1D?

Say the street in Soho, the code W1D, what the tyre looks like, and whether you have the locking wheel nut key. A photo helps if you can take one safely.

Mobile tyre fitting in Soho

For Soho, we come to the car or van. The tyre comes off the wheel when a puncture might be saved. If it cannot, a matching tyre is fitted where the vehicle is already standing.

What W1D refers to

W1D is in west London. W covers Bayswater, Shepherd's Bush, Acton, Ealing, and the districts towards the A40. A driveway or a marked bay is a better workshop than a red route.

People in W1D sometimes say Chinatown (W1D) when they mean Soho. Give the street as well as the code.

Run-flat tyres in Soho

A run-flat that has been driven while flat is often beyond a repair, even when the hole looks small. If the car in Soho showed a pressure warning and you kept going, say how far. We would rather price a replacement for W1D than promise a patch the tyre cannot take.

Night calls from Soho

The phone is answered all night, including bank holidays. A 2am call from Soho is answered on 020 8088 3978. That does not mean a short wait. Lighting, a safe place to stand, and the drive into W1D are discussed first. If the wait does not help, we will say so.

After the wheel goes back on

When the job in Soho 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 W1D repair is a reason to call back before a long trip.
