Flat Tyre Change
Got a flat tyre and no spare? Or can't change it yourself? Our drivers will change your tyre at the roadside in minutes, or tow you to a tyre shop if needed.
Flat Tyre Change in the West Midlands
A flat tyre can leave you stranded, especially if you don't carry a spare, don't have the tools, or physically can't change it yourself. Many modern cars don't even come with a spare wheel — just a can of tyre sealant that often doesn't work. Recoverer's flat tyre service sends a driver to you who will change your flat for your spare wheel, or if you don't have a spare, transport you to the nearest tyre shop. Our drivers carry professional jacks and wheel nut removal tools that handle even the most stubborn seized nuts. We change tyres at the roadside, in car parks, on driveways, or anywhere safe to work. If the location isn't safe (hard shoulder, busy road), we'll load your vehicle on the flatbed and take you to a safe location first. Service is available 24/7 across the entire West Midlands.
How it works
Book online or call. Select 'Flat Tyre', tell us if you have a spare wheel. This helps us plan whether it's a roadside change or a tow to a tyre shop.
Driver arrives with professional jacks and wheel tools. If you have a spare, they'll change the tyre on the spot. Takes about 15 minutes.
If you don't have a spare, we'll transport you to the nearest open tyre shop. Many of our drivers know which shops are open late and on weekends.

Frequently asked questions
What if I don't have a spare wheel?
No problem. We'll transport you to the nearest open tyre shop where you can get a new tyre fitted. We'll wait and make sure you're sorted.
Can you fix a punctured tyre?
Our drivers don't repair punctures at the roadside — that requires specialist equipment. We'll change to your spare or take you to a tyre shop for a repair or replacement.
What if the wheel nuts are seized?
Our drivers carry professional impact tools that can remove even the most stubborn seized wheel nuts. Consumer wheel wrenches often can't generate enough torque.
Do I need a membership?
No. Recoverer has no membership, no annual fee and no contract. You pay per job, and only when you need us.
How do I pay?
By card, through the platform. You see one all-in price before you book — that is the price you pay. Your card is held when you book and charged when the job is completed. No cash, and nothing to settle at the roadside.
What areas do you cover?
The West Midlands and the surrounding counties, including Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Dudley, Walsall, Sandwell, Solihull, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire. Enter your postcode when booking and we'll tell you straight away whether we cover it.
Is it available 24/7?
Yes — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. Night jobs carry a multiplier that is shown before you confirm; there is no separate call-out surcharge.
