The Barbican is a maze on purpose, and that makes a dead tyre more awkward here than the map suggests.
A van is a much better fit. Ours carries the tyre machine, the wheel balancer, an air line, its own work lighting and stock in the sizes most cars, SUVs and 4x4s take, so the job completes wherever the car happens to be standing. Around Whitecross Street or by the Golden Lane Estate the wheel comes off, the old tyre is broken from the rim, the new one goes on and is balanced, the pressures are set and the scrap tyre is loaded up and taken away.
Whether the car is on the drive in Beech Street or a side street in Aldersgate Street, the fitting happens there. If you would rather we came to you on Beech Street at the end of the working day, that is fine too. Whether it is Beech Street in rush hour or Goswell Road at midnight, we answer. On Goswell Road, day or night, Golden Lane Estate included, arrival across EC1A runs 30 to 60 minutes. An EC1A address in the Fann Street area and one in Aldersgate Street are the same round.

Access is the whole difficulty here. Height barriers in the estate parking, the covered run of Beech Street and the restricted kerb on Aldersgate Street between them rule out most recovery options before they start. A van that carries the machine, the balancer, the light and the stock can work in the space a car already occupies, which is why the job finishes on site with the pressures set and the old tyre already loaded.
A car in resident parking under the Barbican Estate could not be reached by anything tall, so the height clearance decided where we set up. Once the van was as close as it could get, the wheel was changed and balanced normally.
A tyre found flat while parked near Whitecross Street was replaced at the kerb, keeping the space, with the wheel spun and weighted on the van before it was refitted.
A tyre cut on the way out through Beech Street had an injury too close to the shoulder to be repaired safely. A replacement was fitted on site and the old one taken away.

Honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars! Last night after leaving Wembley we got a flat tyre, stranded 2 hours from home, and these guys got us back up and running. 10/10 service from start to finish, even at 1am!
Great service, fast and available. My tyre is not one an ordinary garage has in stock, but they just went to get the tyre and replaced it on a Sunday. Recommend.
Came and sorted a replacement tire within half an hour or so. Fast and efficient service.
Sometimes, and it depends entirely on the height barrier and how close the van can get. Tell us the entrance and level when you ring and we will be straight with you about whether we can work down there or need the car at street level.
Only if there is genuinely no alternative. A side street near Fann Street or towards Goswell Road is safer for us and quicker for you, and we will say where we would rather meet.
Yes. Nights and weekends are ordinary hours here, and the van brings its own lighting, which matters in covered parking and under Beech Street where the light is poor at any hour.
Every time. The balancer is in the van, so the wheel is spun, weighted and then torqued back onto the car. Skipping that step is what produces a steering vibration later.
Ideally yes, mostly for the keys, the locking wheel nut and paying at the end. Card and contactless are taken at the car, so it is settled before we leave.
