Anyone who drives around Gants Hill knows how little room a stopped car has here.
What solves it is a van that does not need the car to go anywhere. The tyre machine, the wheel balancer, the compressor and the stock are all on board, along with lighting for the darker end of the day. So the wheel comes off outside the house on a Cranbrook street or at the kerb on the A123 Ley Street, the old tyre is stripped, the new one is mounted, balanced and inflated to the correct figure, and the scrap is taken away. The car finishes the visit ready to drive.
Two decisions and you are done: which tyre, and what time. After that the van comes to the car rather than the other way round, so a set can go on while it sits outside the house in Seven Kings, outside the office, or in a bay on Ley Street if that suits the day better. A Gants Hill cul-de-sac or a Seven Kings main road, tell us which. A tight terrace in Seven Kings or a narrow bay on the High Road is usually workable. IG1 takes in Newbury Park and Cranbrook, and we work the lot.

The A118 High Road and the roads feeding Gants Hill are busy enough that a stopped car quickly becomes a queue, and the terraces around Goodmayes and Cranbrook have no off street parking to move it into. A tow adds delay to a problem that takes an hour to solve properly. Finishing at the kerb keeps traffic moving, keeps the space, and hands the car back working rather than parked in a yard across the borough.
A car pulled clear of the Gants Hill traffic into a side road and stopped. The complete change happened there, balancer included, and the driver was back on the A12 without a truck ever being involved.
A resident in Seven Kings had a wheel flat outside the house and nowhere to put a recovery vehicle. The van worked from the road side and the car stayed in its space.
A driver on the A123 Ley Street found a tyre destroyed after work. Our lamps went up, the replacement was fitted and balanced at the kerb, and the car was usable that night.

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!
Abdul came and helped me as I was stuck on the side of the road. He came very quickly and was so friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend, great service.
Excellent service, extraordinary job. Amazing man helped me at night. Recommend to everyone.
No, and that is the point. The car stays where it is and the workshop comes to it. If the car cannot be driven, that is exactly the situation this service is built for.
Yes, as long as the car is off the running lanes with somewhere safe to stand. Slip roads and side turnings are usually workable; the North Circular itself is not.
We match the size, load index and speed rating on the sidewall against what the car should have. Read the code down the phone and we will confirm what is on the van before leaving.
Cars, SUVs, 4x4s and vans, yes. Caravans, trailers, motorbikes and lorries are outside what we cover.
We park as any other vehicle would and work within the space available. If the street is genuinely full we will find the nearest workable spot and bring the kit across.
