Flat tyre fix is on-the-spot help for a tyre that has gone down. A technician comes to the car in JBR, usually in 20 to 35 minutes, and fits your spare wheel, reinflates the tyre or plugs a tread puncture so you can drive again. It is available 24/7. Send your location on WhatsApp or call.

What's included

  • Spare wheel fitted with a proper jack and wheel brace, nuts tightened in sequence
  • Spare tyre pressure checked and corrected before you drive on it
  • Tyre reinflated with a portable compressor when it has only lost air
  • Temporary plug for a nail or screw hole in the tread
  • Locking wheel nut removed using your key adaptor
  • Tyre pressure warning reset on cars that allow it

Signs you need it

  • Tyre pressure warning light on the dashboard
  • The car pulls to one side and the steering feels heavy
  • A flapping or thumping noise that gets faster with speed
  • One tyre looks squashed at the bottom when the car is parked
  • A tyre that needs air again every few days

Flat tyre fix: How it works

From first message to driving away usually takes under an hour.

  1. Stop and share location

    Pull over somewhere flat and safe, switch on the hazard lights and send your live location on WhatsApp. Tell us if you have a spare and where the locking nut key is.

  2. Fix at the car

    The technician checks the damage. A nail in the tread gets a plug, a tyre that only lost air is reinflated, and a damaged tyre is swapped for your spare.

  3. Back on the road

    Pressures are set on all tyres and the wheel nuts are checked. You are told how far and how fast to drive, and if the tyre needs a permanent repair.

Good to know in JBR

Driving even a few hundred metres on a flat tyre ruins the sidewall and can damage the rim, so stop as soon as it is safe. In a tower basement, try to stop on a level bay and not on the ramp, because a jack is not safe on a slope. Many newer cars have no spare at all, only a sealant kit or run-flat tyres. Check your boot now so you know what you have.

    Car was dead on P2 after three weeks away. Sent the tower and bay number on WhatsApp and the technician was at the car in about 25 minutes. He tested it first and showed me the printout before changing anything.

    The dealership quoted me three days. These guys fitted an AGM battery in my building's basement the same evening and registered it to the car. Start-stop works again.

    Honest. I was sure I needed a new battery. He jump started it, checked the alternator and told me the battery still had life in it, just drive it more. Didn't try to sell me anything.

    Friday night on The Walk so it took closer to 40 minutes than 30, but they called to say so. Battery is in the boot on mine and he knew exactly where to go. Paid with Tabby.

    Called at 1am after a flight. Someone answered straight away and the car was running before 2. Warranty written on the invoice, old battery taken away.

    Clear about the options. Three brands that fit my car, what each one cost and how long the warranty was, all on WhatsApp before he set off. No surprises when he arrived.

    Second time I've used them, different car. Same result: on time, clean job, terminals cleaned without me asking. I've saved the number.

    Security at my cluster can be difficult with outside contractors. They told me exactly what to say to the gate and it went smoothly. Battery changed in twenty minutes.

Flat tyre fix: common questions

My car has no spare wheel. Can you still help?

Yes. If the hole is in the tread we plug it and reinflate the tyre at the car. If the sidewall is cut or the tyre is shredded, a plug will not work, and the car is taken on a recovery truck to have a new tyre fitted.

How far can I drive on a space-saver spare?

A space-saver is for getting to a tyre shop, not for daily use. The speed limit is printed on the wheel, commonly 80 km/h, and the distance limit is in your handbook. It is narrower than your normal tyres, so braking and cornering grip are lower.

Is a plug a permanent repair?

Treat it as temporary. A plug pushed in from outside seals the hole so you can drive, but the inside of the tyre has not been inspected. Have it checked and properly repaired from the inside, or replaced, at a tyre workshop soon after.

Car not starting right now?

Message us the make, model and where it's parked. You'll have a price and an arrival time in a few minutes.
