24-Hour Tyre Callout: When You Need It and What to Expect

A flat tyre never happens at a convenient time. If you've had a blowout on the M5 at midnight, or discovered a puncture in your driveway before an early shift, you know how valuable 24-hour callout can be.

When to Call for Emergency Assistance

Our 24-hour callout service is designed for genuine emergencies:

• Roadside breakdowns: Flat tyre on the motorway, A-road, or any location where you're stranded
• Blowouts: When a tyre has catastrophically failed and the spare (if you have one) won't do
• No spare: Many modern cars don't have a spare wheel – puncture kits aren't always enough
• Multiple punctures: Hit debris that's damaged more than one tyre
• Night and weekend: When normal garages are closed and you need to drive

What Happens When You Call

When you call us for emergency assistance:

1. We assess the situation: What's happened, where are you, what vehicle do you have?
2. We check tyre availability: We carry common sizes, but may need to source unusual ones
3. We give you a quote: All-inclusive price for the tyre, fitting, and callout
4. We dispatch: Our nearest mobile fitter heads to your location
5. You're on your way: Typically within the hour, often faster

What to Do While Waiting

If you're stranded roadside:

• Get to safety: If on a motorway, get behind the barrier. If on a regular road, get away from traffic
• Turn on hazards: Make your vehicle visible, especially at night
• Use a warning triangle: If safe to do so, place it 45m behind your vehicle
• Stay visible: Wear a high-vis jacket if you have one
• Share your location: Use your phone's location sharing when calling us

What Does Callout Cost?

Emergency callout costs depend on several factors:

• Time of day: Unsociable hours (nights, bank holidays) may cost more
• Location: Remote areas may take longer to reach
• Tyre required: We'll quote based on the specific tyre your vehicle needs

We always give you a full quote before we dispatch, so there are no surprises. Call 01934 440410 any time for an emergency tyre callout.
