Can every flat tyre in N20 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in N20 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 Whetstone are replacements.

Does N20 mean you will arrive in a fixed number of minutes?

No. Traffic in north London, and how far the technician has to travel, set the time for N20. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from N20?

Say the street in Whetstone, the code N20, 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 Whetstone

A large share of delays on a N20 call-out are missing locking wheel nut keys, not missing tyres. Before you call from Whetstone, 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.

Tread or sidewall in Whetstone

A nail in the central tread can often be repaired once the tyre is off the wheel. A cut, bubble, or cord in the sidewall cannot. That rule does not change because the car is in Whetstone. If you can see the damage from a safe place, describe it. N20 only tells us where to drive. The tyre decides the repair.
