Does CM22 mean you will arrive in a fixed number of minutes?

No. Traffic in Chelmsford, and how far the technician has to travel, set the time for CM22. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from CM22?

Say the street in Stansted, the code CM22, what the tyre looks like, and whether you have the locking wheel nut key. A photo helps if you can take one safely.

Can every flat tyre in CM22 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in CM22 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 Stansted are replacements.

The locking wheel nut in Stansted

A large share of delays on a CM22 call-out are missing locking wheel nut keys, not missing tyres. Before you call from Stansted, 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.

Vans parked in Stansted

If the vehicle in Stansted is a van, say so before the quote. Light commercial tyres carry a load index the car stock will not satisfy. Read the sidewall if you can do it without standing in traffic. Twin rear wheels take longer. A CM22 yard with a height barrier needs mentioning too, or the van we send may not fit through it.

After the wheel goes back on

When the job in Stansted 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 CM22 repair is a reason to call back before a long trip.
