It is worth knowing what state the car will be in when the fitter drives off, because that is really what you are buying and it is the part nobody talks about. The wheel goes back on with a torque wrench set to the figure the manufacturer specifies rather than run up with an air gun, in the correct crossing pattern, so it can be undone with ordinary tools if you ever need to. The pressure comes off the placard in the door shut rather than from whatever the tyre had in it before. The wheel is balanced on the van's machine before it goes anywhere near the hub. The old casing leaves in the van rather than standing against your garden wall for a fortnight. And if anything looked wrong with the other three while the car was up, you get told rather than sold.
All of that happens where the car is parked, which around N16 matters because the permit streets off Church Street and the turnings near Clissold Park are not places you give a space up willingly. Nothing is left for you to arrange afterwards and there is no second appointment. Cars, SUVs and 4x4s, punctures repaired within what BS AU 159 allows and replacements fitted from the stock aboard, at any hour of any day, usually inside 30 to 60 minutes.
The compressor kit in the boot buys you time and nothing else. A fitter coming to the car is the version that ends the problem: wheel off on Stamford Hill, a proper look at the real damage, a repair to standard if it qualifies, a replacement from the van if it does not. A Stamford Hill cul-de-sac or a Church Street main road, tell us which. A tight terrace in Stoke Newington or a narrow bay on Church Street is usually workable. N16 takes in Clissold Park and Stamford Hill, and we work the lot.

In N16 the whole point is that nothing is left over. The car does not move, the permit bay stays yours, the wheel goes back on to a figure, the pressures come off the plate and the ruined tyre leaves with the fitter. Whether the car is standing on a terrace near Abney Park, on a turning off Green Lanes or up towards Stamford Hill, you should end up with a car that is simply finished rather than one with another errand attached to it.
A car whose nuts had been hammered on somewhere previously and could not be shifted by hand tools. This time they went back to a figure, and the owner could undo them himself afterwards.
A driver near Newington Green had been running all four to whatever the last place had set them to. The placard in the door shut told a different story, and the car steered noticeably better afterwards.
A flat dealt with on a permit street off the High Street, with the ruined casing loaded straight into the van. Nothing was left at the kerb and the bay was exactly as it had been found.
Yes, on the machine that travels with the fitter, before it goes back on the car. A tyre fitted without balancing announces itself as a vibration within a few miles.
The one the manufacturer specifies, which is on a plate in the driver's door shut. That figure gets used rather than a general guess, and you can watch it being set.
It is never a bad habit after any wheel has been off. They go back on to a proper figure, so nothing should move, but a recheck after the first proper drive costs nothing.
It goes in the van. You do not have to store it, dispose of it or arrange anything, and nothing is left leaning against a wall on Church Street.
Yes, and only that. You get the depths and an honest opinion, and the decision about whether to do anything stays entirely yours.
