Does W12 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 W12. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from W12?

Say the street in Wood Lane, the code W12, 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 W12 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in W12 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 Wood Lane are replacements.

What W12 does to the clock

Arrival in Wood Lane is the drive from a free technician plus the traffic on that route. We do not publish a minute count for W12. You get a window on the phone, and you can decline it. Night, school-run, and match-day traffic are different journeys even when the postcode is the same.

Red routes, bays, and Wood Lane

Stopping restrictions in Wood Lane are part of the job. A red route, a bus lane, or a private car park with clamping can make a legal repair impossible where you first stopped. W12 still has side streets and driveways. Tell us which entrance to use if the vehicle is at work.
