Most modern cars no longer carry a full-size spare, and changing a wheel at the side of a busy road is not something you should be attempting alone in the dark. We come out with proper jacking equipment, torque tools and warning lighting.

If you do have a spare or space-saver on board, we'll fit it, torque it correctly and remind you of the speed and distance limits before you drive off.

What we can sort at the roadside

Roadside spare tyre change

We fit spare wheels and space-savers, deal with seized and over-torqued wheel nuts, handle missing or damaged locking wheel nut keys where possible, and check the remaining tyres and pressures while we're there.

If the wheel or tyre is destroyed, the sidewall is cut, or there's no spare in the car, the safe answer is recovery rather than a repair kit — we'll load the vehicle and take it to a tyre fitter or your garage.

  • Spare and space-saver wheel fitting
  • Seized and over-torqued nuts freed
  • Locking wheel nut problems
  • Recovery to a tyre fitter when there's no spare

Stay safe while you wait

Accident damaged vehicle being recovered

Never change a wheel on the offside of a live carriageway or on a motorway hard shoulder. Pull as far left as you can, put your hazards on, get out on the passenger side and wait behind the barrier. Call National Highways on 0300 123 5000 if you're stopped on a motorway.

Fixed price, day or night

We quote one flat price on the phone that covers the call-out and the wheel change. If recovery turns out to be the safer option, we'll tell you the cost of that before we do anything.

Frequently asked questions

Do you carry replacement tyres?

We don't fit new tyres at the roadside — we fit your spare, or recover the vehicle to a tyre fitter.

What if I've lost my locking wheel nut key?

We can often remove the nut with specialist tools. If not, we'll recover the vehicle instead.

How fast can you get to me?

Typically 15 to 25 minutes across Leicester and Leicestershire, 24 hours a day.

How far can I drive on a space-saver?

Usually a maximum of 50 mph and a limited distance — we'll confirm the limits marked on your wheel.
