Here is what actually happens after you ring. You read us what is stamped on the sidewall, we tell you whether that size is aboard and what it costs fitted, and you decide before any work starts rather than after it. Then a fitter drives to wherever the car is, which around here means a permit bay far more often than a driveway.
On arrival the wheel comes off, the old cover is stripped from the rim, the new one goes on and is set to the pressure on your door plate, the wheel is balanced with the machine carried on the van, and the nuts are brought up to the specified torque in sequence instead of being pulled tight by feel. The dead casing leaves with us for recycling. Payment is card or contactless at the kerb and new tyres come with a two-year warranty. One tyre is normally 30 to 60 minutes start to finish, and the car keeps its space throughout. Against a recovery truck hauling it to a bay in Wandsworth or Balham, plus the fare home and the trip back to collect it, this is both the shorter and usually the cheaper road.
When a tyre is finished, the useful question is how quickly you can be legal again. We answer it by bringing the replacement to you in SW4 instead of asking you to drive to it, which matters when the tyre in question is split, shredded or down past the wear bars. The wheel comes off in Abbeville Village, not on a ramp in Brixton. Pressures set before we leave Abbeville Village, and the same on Kings Avenue.

A garage trip from SW4 costs you twice: once in the crawl down towards the A3036 (Clapham Junction approach) or across to Balham, and again in getting back to collect the car afterwards. Fitting at the kerb outside the flat removes both halves of that, and the parking space survives the exercise.
The tyre failed on the A3 (Clapham Common South Side) and the driver came off onto a side road before it came apart entirely. There was nothing left to repair. A replacement in the correct size went on where they had stopped and they carried on with their evening.
Cars nose to tail, no space to open a door on the offside, and a tyre destroyed by a drain edge. We worked from the pavement, which is normal in these terraces. The car never had to be moved and no neighbour lost a space.
A tyre finished on the way back from a weekend away and every workshop shut until morning. Waiting would have meant a day off work. The correct size was aboard, so it went on that night and Monday happened as planned.
Not necessarily. If the car is accessible and we have the locking nut key, plenty of people leave us to it and come out to a finished job. You will get a call before anything is fitted and before any money is taken.
Yes, and doing a full set in one visit saves you repeating the exercise. Each wheel is balanced individually and torqued to the correct figure, and it stays a single appointment on your own street.
Not always. On a car doing modest local mileage and short trips, a decent budget tyre is a sensible buy. On a car doing motorway miles the wet braking difference is worth paying for. We explain the gap rather than pushing you upwards.
Say so when you ring, because it changes what we bring. Extraction tools come out as standard on those jobs and the nut is removed before the tyre work begins.
Because a torque wrench is used to reach the published figure, in the right order, rather than a gun run up until it stops. It is the same reason every wheel gets spun on the balancer first.
