About Roadside Tyre Assistance
What Is Roadside Tyre Assistance?
Roadside tyre assistance helps motorists deal with tyre-related problems when their vehicle cannot safely continue its journey or requires attention away from a conventional tyre centre.
The problem might occur on the way to work, during a family journey, outside a property or in a public parking area. You may know exactly what has happened, or you may simply notice that the vehicle feels different and suspect a tyre problem.
The appropriate response depends on the circumstances. A tyre may have lost pressure, suffered impact damage, developed a structural defect or become unusable following a blowout. In some cases, the wheel or another vehicle component may also be affected.
Sprinter Mobile Tyres can discuss the situation with you and establish whether an appropriate visit can be arranged. The solution depends on the nature of the fault, your location, vehicle requirements and the availability of suitable equipment and tyres.
When Should You Request Roadside Tyre Assistance?
When you contact Sprinter Mobile Tyres Limited, we first need to understand the tyre problem, your location and the vehicle involved. This helps us assess the type of assistance required and whether the service can be arranged at your location.
Your tyre suddenly loses pressure
A tyre may lose pressure because of a sharp object, a damaged valve, a faulty seal, impact damage or another problem. You might notice a tyre pressure warning, a visibly deflated tyre or a change in the way the vehicle handles.
Do not assume that adding air will resolve the problem permanently. If the tyre has suffered structural damage or has been driven on while significantly underinflated, further damage may have occurred.
Stop somewhere safe if possible and explain the symptoms when requesting assistance.
You experience a tyre blowout
A blowout can be frightening, especially at speed. You may hear a loud bang, feel the vehicle pull to one side or notice a sudden loss of stability.
If a tyre fails while you are driving, maintain control, ease off the accelerator and slow down gradually when safe. Avoid abrupt braking or sharp steering. Move to a safe stopping place if possible.
Once stopped, do not attempt to continue the journey on a visibly damaged tyre. If you are on a motorway or another high-speed road, follow the relevant Highway Code breakdown guidance and prioritise your safety.
Your tyre is damaged after hitting a pothole
Potholes and raised road surfaces can cause more than a temporary loss of pressure. A strong impact may produce a sidewall bulge, a cut, wheel damage or other problems that affect the vehicle’s safety.
If you notice vibration, steering changes, a bulge or visible damage after an impact, do not assume the vehicle is safe to drive.
Tell us what happened and where you are. The tyre and, where necessary, the wheel or surrounding components may need assessment before the vehicle can be used again.
You discover a flat tyre away from home
A flat tyre can be particularly inconvenient when you are parked at work, outside a shop, in a public car park or at another location away from your usual support.
Before arranging a visit, make sure the vehicle is in a safe, accessible position. If you are in a restricted car park, underground garage or location with a height barrier, let us know. Access conditions may affect whether the work can be undertaken.
Provide your postcode, vehicle details and a description of the problem so we can discuss the available options.
You notice a bulge, cut or exposed cords
A tyre with a structural bulge, a deep cut or exposed cords may be unsafe even if it still holds air.
These defects should not be treated as ordinary wear. Continuing to drive can increase the risk of tyre failure and may put you and other road users in danger.
Avoid using a tyre with suspected structural damage. Contact us from a safe location to discuss the next step.
Your tyre warning light comes on
A tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning may indicate that one or more tyres have lost pressure. Depending on the vehicle, the warning may also indicate a system issue.
If the warning appears while driving, respond carefully and consult your vehicle handbook. Stop in a safe place if you suspect a tyre is losing pressure or the vehicle’s handling has changed.
Do not ignore a persistent warning simply because the tyre looks normal. A pressure check or further assessment may be required to identify the cause.
What to Do Before Help Arrives
Get yourself and your passengers to safetyt
If you are driving, slow down carefully and stop in a safe place where possible. Switch on your hazard warning lights when appropriate and follow the Highway Code for your location.
On a motorway, use the designated emergency area or hard shoulder where available and follow official breakdown instructions. If you cannot reach a place of relative safety, or the vehicle is stopped in a live traffic lane, follow official emergency guidance and contact the appropriate emergency service.
Avoid driving on a damaged tyre
A tyre that is flat, structurally damaged or severely underinflated may not be safe to use. Driving on it can cause additional damage to the tyre and wheel.
A sidewall bulge, deep cut or exposed cords should be treated as a serious warning. Do not assume that a tyre is safe just because it remains inflated.
Provide an accurate location
When calling, give your postcode or a clear description of where the vehicle is. If you are in a car park, private access road or another restricted area, explain the access arrangements.
If you are on a major road, use the location information available from a safe position. Never put yourself at risk to obtain a more precise location.
Explain the symptoms clearly
You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself. Tell us what you observed, such as a sudden bang, a pressure warning, a flat tyre or damage after hitting a pothole.
If you know whether the tyre was driven on while deflated, mention it. This may be relevant to the condition of the tyre and the options available.
Confirm the arrangements before proceeding
Before agreeing to a visit, establish whether your location is covered, what service may be required, the expected price and the earliest attendance time that can be confirmed.
Availability depends on the circumstances of the job. If the vehicle is in an unsafe position or the fault is beyond what can be addressed at the roadside, another form of assistance may be necessary.

The Customer's Problem
A driver in Battersea, SW11, experienced a tyre problem and needed assistance without having to travel to a tyre garage. The customer contacted Sprinter Mobile Tyres to explain the situation and request help.
Checking the Situation
Before arranging the service, the technician needed to confirm the vehicle’s location, tyre size and type of damage. The vehicle’s position was also important, particularly if it was parked on a busy road or close to moving traffic.
Where the location was unsafe, the priority would be to keep the driver away from traffic and arrange assistance in a suitable, accessible place.
Assessing and Fixing the Tyre
Once at the vehicle, the technician would assess the tyre to determine whether a replacement was necessary. If a suitable tyre was available and the location was safe for the work, the technician could carry out the replacement in accordance with the vehicle’s requirements.
If the damage required further attention, the customer would need advice on the appropriate next steps.
Helping the Driver Continue Their Journey
Mobile tyre assistance can save motorists the inconvenience of travelling to a garage with a damaged tyre. After the work, the tyre and relevant fitting should be checked before deciding whether the vehicle is safe to continue its journey.
Sprinter Mobile Tyres aims to make unexpected tyre problems easier to manage by providing convenient assistance in Battersea and surrounding parts of London, subject to service coverage.
