Does W2 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 W2. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from W2?

Say the street in Westbourne Green, the code W2, 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 W2 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in W2 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 Westbourne Green are replacements.

One axle, not one corner

If the other tyre on the same axle in Westbourne Green 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. W2 does not change the axle. It only changes the drive.

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 Westbourne Green does not make it legal. If the tread on the W2 car is already on the wear bars, expect a replacement quote, not a repair quote.

What to have ready in Westbourne Green

Have the registration, a mobile number that you will answer, and the outward code W2 confirmed against the vehicle, not against a guess. If you use what3words, give the words as well as the postcode. Stay with the car. A technician cannot start on a vehicle that nobody can identify.
