Is it finished, or is it fine? That is the whole question on this kind of callout, and the answer is worth having from somebody with no stake in the outcome. We come out, look at the damage, get the wheel off where it is warranted and give you a straight verdict.
Parking on these streets does most of the harm. Squeezing into a gap between two cars means nudging a high square kerb at an angle, and the sidewall takes that load rather than the wheel. Sometimes it leaves a grey graze that means nothing at all. Sometimes it crushes the casing between kerb and rim, and a fortnight later a lump appears that was not there before. Cuts, splits, blisters and perished cracking each carry their own answer, and about half the time the answer we give is that nothing is wrong and there is nothing to buy.
Kerbing an alloy on a tight street or dropping a wheel into a pothole on Cromwell Road does not always announce itself. The tyre holds air, the car drives, and the damage only shows when you crouch down and look: a gouge, a split, a bulge sitting proud of the sidewall. Whether it is Philbeach Gardens in rush hour or Warwick Road at midnight, we answer. On Cromwell Road, day or night, Old Brompton Road included, arrival across Greater London runs 30 to 60 minutes.

Cars in Earl's Court do low mileage on a hard surface, which is a combination that punishes sidewalls and leaves tread almost untouched. If you have felt a proper thump against a kerb near Nevern Square or anywhere along Old Brompton Road, get it looked at while the car is parked rather than waiting for the lump to appear.
Tall, square edged and set right against the parking. A driver had clipped one hard while reversing in and was worried about the alloy. The wheel was fine. Inside the tyre there was a shiny band on the liner where it had been pinched, and that meant a replacement.
Invisible from the pavement, found only because we took the wheel off to look. The inner sidewall is where kerb damage hides and where nobody thinks to check. Cords had gone, so the tyre went too.
A car kept near Redcliffe and used a couple of times a month. The tread was practically new and the sidewalls were crazed with fine lines from years of sun and standing. Age retires more tyres in this part of London than mileage does.
Broken cords underneath. The tyre is being held together by rubber alone at that spot, and it can fail without warning at speed. There is no monitoring it and no repairing it.
You could, but there is no need to and every mile adds risk if the damage is structural. That is why we come to the car and look at it where it stands.
Not if you do not need one. We hold a 4.9 star Google rating largely because people are told when a graze is just a graze, and word travels quickly on streets like these.
Yes. Anything hard enough to mark an alloy has put the same force through the tyre bead and sidewall. Damage on the inner face is the part that gets missed.
There is no single number. What matters is the state of the rubber: fine cracking across the shoulder and a hard, glazed surface tell you more than the date stamp on its own.
