Half seven on a Saturday, the car sitting awkwardly in a space off Evelyn Street, and the nearside front is down on its rim with a gash across the wall you could get a finger into. Nothing is bringing that tyre back. What happens next is one phone call, a size read off the sidewall, and the correct tyre arriving where the car is to be fitted, balanced and torqued without it moving an inch. No truck, no fitting bay a bus ride away, and no working out how to get yourself home afterwards. The figure is agreed while you are still on the phone.
An unusual size is worth mentioning early rather than late. Once it is settled, it is fitted and balanced where the car is parked in SE8, with the valve checked and the pressures set to the manufacturer figure. You watch it happen in Evelyn, or at the kerb in the Creek area. Same tools in New Cross as in Greenwich, same on every call. A SE8 address in New Cross and one in Greenwich are the same round.

Space is the real constraint round here, not distance. Cars sit in permit bays with a few inches at either end, and a vehicle on a dead tyre cannot be shuffled anywhere useful. Fitting on the spot avoids the whole problem, and the scrap tyre leaves with us rather than sitting in a hallway waiting for a tip run.
A failure at trunk road speed does not leave much to discuss. Get the car off the carriageway and somewhere quiet first, then ring. Once it is in a safe spot the replacement is a straightforward job and a much shorter wait than a recovery booking.
People fall back on a spare that has lived under the boot floor for a decade and find it cracked and soft. It is worth checking yours before you need it. If the spare is no good either, we bring a proper tyre and the problem ends there.
Weekend failures are the ones that panic people, because the assumption is that nothing opens until Monday. We run every day of the year, so a Sunday replacement is an ordinary booking rather than a favour.
A broad spread of the everyday fitments for cars, SUVs and 4x4s, in budget, mid-range and premium form. Give us the numbers and letters off the sidewall and you will know before we leave whether yours is one of them.
Yes, as long as we can get to the car and there is room to work beside it. Height barriers are the only thing that occasionally causes trouble, so mention one if there is one.
Not necessarily. Some people leave the keys and pay over the phone. Others want to see the old tyre and hear why it failed, which is fair enough and we will go through it.
Then you say no and nothing is fitted. It is agreed before anybody sets off precisely so that the conversation happens while you still have options.
The tyre itself over that period. It is not cover for kerbing it or picking up a nail, and we will not pretend otherwise. Keep the paperwork with the car.
