Tyre roadside assistance in Navigli, Barona and Lorenteggio

Which neighbourhoods of Municipio 6 do we cover?

We cover the whole of Municipio 6, Milan's south-western sector from the Navigli canals out to the city boundary. The main areas are:

• Navigli and Darsena, along the Naviglio Grande and the Naviglio Pavese.
• Porta Genova and Tortona, with the station and the design district.
• Solari and San Cristoforo, heading west along the Naviglio Grande.
• Giambellino and Lorenteggio, along the two streets of the same names.
• Barona and Famagosta, to the south, between viale Famagosta and via Ludovico il Moro.
• Ronchetto sul Naviglio, at the far western end of the Naviglio Grande.

How do you give your location along the Navigli?

Along the Navigli, tell us which bank you're on and the nearest bridge or side street. The towpath streets (alzaie) are narrow, often one-way, with pedestrian-only or restricted-traffic stretches, especially in the evening and at weekends.

• Naviglio Grande: tell us whether you're on Alzaia Naviglio Grande or on via Ripa di Porta Ticinese, and the nearest bridge.
• Naviglio Pavese: tell us whether you're on Alzaia Naviglio Pavese or on the opposite bank.
• Darsena: tell us which side of the basin you're on and the nearest square or street.

If you're in a pedestrian or crowded area, don't try to drive out on a flat tyre: wait somewhere safe and call +39 377 326 0999.

Which streets and landmarks to use in Lorenteggio, Giambellino and Barona?

The main roads are via Lorenteggio, via Giambellino, via Solari, viale Famagosta and via Ludovico il Moro. These also make excellent reference points:

• The M4 stops along via Lorenteggio, such as Frattini, Tolstoj and Bolivar, out to the San Cristoforo terminus.
• The M2 stops Porta Genova, Romolo and Famagosta.
• Ospedale San Paolo, in the Barona area.
• IULM university, in the Romolo area.
• MUDEC, on via Tortona.

On the outer ring road (for example viale Cassala), tell us your direction of travel and whether you're on the main carriageway or the side road.

What should you know about event days in the Tortona and Navigli areas?

On days with major events, such as design week in the Tortona area, traffic arrangements can change: tell us if there are closed roads or barriers around you. The Navigli area is also very busy in the evenings and at weekends.

• Let us know if the car is on a street closed to traffic or inside a fenced-off area.
• Tell us about a nearby spot we can reach, if you know one.
• If you're in a private car park for an event or a venue, tell us how to get in.

Are you in a garage or courtyard in the area?

In the courtyards and garages of Municipio 6, describe the way in carefully, because it often goes through entrance halls and narrow vehicle entrances. Many historic buildings along the Navigli and in Porta Genova have inner courtyards, while in Lorenteggio and Barona underground residential garages are common.

• Address of the vehicle entrance and its approximate width.
• Level and garage number, if you're underground.
• Who can open up for us, and how.

How does SOS Tyre work in Municipio 6?

We come out straight away, 24/7, to wherever the vehicle is, whether it's a car, a scooter or a motorbike parked along the Navigli. We assess the damage and, if technically possible, repair the tyre on the spot; otherwise we fit the spare wheel or space-saver.

If the car has run-flat tyres, you can drive a limited distance at reduced speed according to the manufacturer's instructions, but it's better to stop somewhere convenient and call us on +39 377 326 0999. Replacement with a new tyre needs to be checked on the phone depending on size and availability.
