The likely cause
When a sealant kit hasn't worked
Tyre sealant only works on smaller punctures in the tread and won't do anything for a sidewall tear, a large hole, or a wheel that's come off the rim. If the sealant hasn't sealed the hole, or it's inflated but still losing air, the tyre needs replacing rather than topping up again.
When there's no spare at all
If your car has no spare and only came with a sealant kit that hasn't fixed the problem, or the tyre's too badly damaged to seal, we'll recover the car to a tyre fitter of your choice. This is often quicker and safer than trying to source a matching tyre at the roadside.
When you do have a usable spare
If there's a full-size or space-saver spare and the wheel nuts aren't seized, we can usually get it swapped on scene fairly quickly, provided you're parked somewhere safe and level enough to jack the car up.

Chelmsley Wood questions
What if my wheel nuts are seized and won't budge in Chelmsley Wood?
This happens, particularly if a garage over-tightened them. We carry breaker bars and can usually shift them, or we'll recover the car if not.
My tyre sealant worked but the tyre keeps going down — what now in Chelmsley Wood?
Sealant is a temporary fix. If it's slowly losing pressure again, the tyre needs replacing rather than repeated top-ups, and we can get you to a fitter.
Do you charge extra for weekends in B36?
No weekend surcharge on the standard local rate. The price you are quoted for Chelmsley Wood on a Tuesday morning is the price on a Sunday night.
How quickly can you reach Chelmsley Wood?
We are based in Oldbury, about 13 miles away, and come in via M6 J5 then A45. Outside peak hours that is a short run; at rush hour add time for the A45 corridor. The dispatcher gives you a real ETA on the call rather than a standard promise.
Can you fit a new tyre at the roadside in Chelmsley Wood?
We don't carry stock tyres to fit on the spot, but we can recover your car straight to a tyre fitter, or fit your spare if you have one.
Can you recover from a multi-storey or underground car park in Chelmsley Wood?
Often, but height is the deciding factor. Tell us the level and the clearance on the way in. Where the deck is too low for a truck we use skates to bring the vehicle out to the entrance.
