Count the cost of driving it instead. There is the wheel, which a flat tyre will chew up within a mile. There is the ULEZ, if the car is not compliant and you were avoiding using it anyway. There are the bus gates and the filters, which do not care that you had a good reason for being there, and which send a penalty notice a fortnight later. And there is the garage bill at the end, plus the walk or the bus back from wherever you left it.
Against that, having the tyre brought out to the car is one price and one hour. The correct size travels out to the car, is mounted, spun up on the spot and tightened to the torque setting the maker specifies. You can go cheap, sensible or premium, the cost is settled with you beforehand, the write-off leaves with us, and whatever goes on carries a two-year warranty. Card and contactless are taken at the kerb.
An urgent replacement is a simple job that is only difficult because of where you are standing. A car park near Hackney Empire, a residential street, a lay-by: none of those has a tyre bay in it. The wheel comes off in Dalston, not on a ramp in Stoke Newington. Nothing is towed out of London Fields or Clapton; the work finishes there. From London Fields through Shoreditch to Dalston, it is one round.

Hackney is close to the worst place in London to drive a damaged car. Between the ULEZ, the bus gates and the sheer density of traffic on Kingsland Road, a trip to a fitting centre can cost you more in penalties than in tyres. Leaving the car exactly where it is avoids all of it.
A tyre destroyed against a kerb while making room for a bus. The car was pulled into a side road and left there. The correct size went on where it stood, and the owner never had to drive the damaged wheel through the traffic.
A car near Broadway Market with a ruined tyre and no realistic way out of the street until the afternoon. We worked around it in the space available and had it done before the road cleared.
A split tyre at eight on a Sunday in Clapton. Rather than losing Monday morning to it, the replacement went on that evening and the week started as intended.
Typically inside 30 to 60 minutes in E8. Traffic on the A10 is the thing that moves that number, and you will hear a realistic estimate rather than a comforting one.
Yes. Say the size and the sort of tyre you want, and you will be told what is aboard, anywhere from cheap to premium, for cars, SUVs and 4x4s. Cost is fixed before a wheel is touched.
Almost always. We look at where the car is before setting off and place the van so that we are not standing in the cycle lane or holding up the road behind us.
Not as a rule. One tyre is normally fine. Should the one beside it be near the 1.6mm limit, we will gauge it, give you the number and leave the choice with you.
We do, for recycling, and it is part of the job rather than a line at the bottom.
