What actually counts as a tyre emergency, and how emergency mobile tyre replacement compares to booking in at a garage.
Not every flat tyre is an emergency, and not every emergency needs the same response. Here's how to tell the difference, and what each option actually involves.
A blowout, a tyre too damaged to drive on, or a puncture that's left you stranded somewhere unsafe are genuine emergencies — the vehicle can't reasonably move again until the tyre is dealt with. A tyre that's simply worn or due for replacement soon isn't, even if it needs sorting.
If the car isn't safe to drive, it shouldn't be driven — including to a garage. Emergency mobile tyre replacement comes to wherever the vehicle actually is, whether that's home, work, or the roadside, so the tyre is dealt with without the vehicle needing to move on a damaged wheel first.
If the tyre isn't urgent — you've noticed wear during a routine check, or you want to compare tyre brands and options in person — booking in at a garage on your own schedule is perfectly reasonable. There's no need to treat a non-urgent replacement as an emergency.
Your location, vehicle registration or tyre size, and a description of what's happened all help us assess the job before anyone sets off, and confirm a price up front.
