Nobody should be sold a tyre they did not need, so it is worth being clear about what actually puts one beyond saving. Anything in the sidewall or the shoulder, because there is no legal repair outside the central tread. A hole bigger than about six millimetres. A casing that has been run flat, which shows as grey chafing on the inside. A tyre already repaired at the same spot. Damage to the bead where it seals against the rim. Everything else is a repair, and a repair is cheaper for you and better for the tyre.
When it genuinely is one of those, the car is usually somewhere it cannot sensibly be moved from. Crossing the Edgware Road corridor on a destroyed tyre is not a plan, and the permit streets behind Westbourne Terrace do not lend themselves to a wheel change on the pavement. So the correct size comes out on the van, goes on the rim beside the car, is balanced there and torqued down properly, and the ruined casing leaves with us.
Failing an MOT on a tyre is an expensive way to find out, and it usually happens on the day you needed the car. We bring the correct size to wherever the car is, in Little Venice or at the test centre car park and fit it there, balanced and pressure-set. A Praed Street cul-de-sac or an Edgware Road main road, tell us which. A tight terrace in Westbourne Terrace or a narrow bay on Edgware Road is usually workable.

Around Paddington the alternative to a mobile fit is a recovery truck and a bay somewhere else, which costs more than the tyre and takes most of a day. Repair beats replacement wherever the damage allows it, and where it does not, the right size goes on at the kerb with the wheel balanced before you drive.
A pothole edge on the Edgware Road split a sidewall. There is no repair for that at any price, so the replacement went on where the car had stopped.
A driver had carried on for a couple of miles before pulling in near Sheldon Square. The inside of the casing had already broken up, which settled the question.
A hard kerb strike near Little Venice distorted the bead seat. The tyre held air for a while and was never going to keep doing so.
Because the reason is shown to you, on the tyre, before anything else happens. Most calls end in a repair, and our 4.9 star Google rating did not come from the other approach.
Holding air today is not the test. A damaged casing or a chafed liner lets go later, usually under load, and that is a different sort of problem entirely.
Common car, SUV and 4x4 sizes are aboard, so most urgent jobs get finished on the first visit. Anything unusual is sourced quickly and you get an honest answer about the timing.
The work happens wherever the car has safely stopped. If that spot is genuinely unsafe you will be told so, along with what to do first.
It goes in the van and is disposed of properly. You are not left with a ruined casing in the boot.
