What should I do if I get a flat tyre or a blowout near Ipswich?

First, get yourself somewhere safe. If you are on the A14, A12 or the Orwell Bridge and the tyre has gone, ease off the accelerator, keep a firm hold of the wheel, and move onto the hard shoulder or off at the next exit rather than braking hard. Once you are stopped safely, give us a call on 01473 271 897 and tell us where you are and what has happened. If the car is drivable and you can get to us at 935 Woodbridge Road, we will look at it as soon as you arrive, and if the tyre can be repaired rather than replaced we will do exactly that. We are often the depot in Ipswich that has the tyre in stock when others do not, and our same day tyre fitting is built for precisely this situation: a problem that has to be sorted today, not next week. Do not drive any distance on a tyre that has blown, as it can damage the wheel itself and turn a repair into a much bigger bill.
