While a wheel is off the car anyway, you get told where the other three stand, and it is worth knowing that this is information rather than a sales pitch. The depths get gauged, you hear the actual figures rather than a shake of the head, and if something is close to the limit you are told which corner and roughly how long it has. If everything is fine you hear that instead, which is the more common outcome. Nobody is going to lean on you at the kerb on Hoe Street to buy a set you had not planned for. The point is simply that a flat is the one moment when somebody is already looking at your car properly, and it costs nothing to use it.
That aside, the job itself is short and the car does not move. Around E17 that matters, because Forest Road and Lea Bridge Road are the wrong roads for a soft tyre and the permit streets near St James Street are the wrong place to leave the car while you find a garage. So it stays where it stopped, the tyre comes off the rim, the damage gets read from the inside, and it is either mended to BS AU 159 or swapped for a correct size out of the van. Cars, SUVs and 4x4s. Somebody is out every hour of the year.
Catching a flat early is worth real money. A tyre that is losing air slowly, spotted while it is still parked up in Highams Park, is very often repairable; the same tyre after ten miles of being driven on is scrap. School run in Highams Park or 1am in Wood Street, we answer the same. Christmas Day in Wood Street, any day in St James Street: the line is open.

Cars around Walthamstow lead an odd double life, crawling through market closures on Hoe Street one day and running out to the North Circular the next, and tyres wear unevenly on a diet like that. A flat is the one time somebody has the car up and can tell you what is actually going on across all four. Take the information and leave the decision for another day if you prefer.
A puncture repaired near Lloyd Park with the other three gauged while the car was up. One rear was getting close, the owner was told the figure, and they chose their own moment months later.
A driver in Walthamstow Village half expected to be told the whole set was finished. It was not. The depths were read out, everything was healthy, and the visit cost what one repair costs.
A flat dealt with on a street off Wood Street where the front pair turned out to be nearly down to the bars. Knowing that before a motorway trip was worth more than the repair itself.
No. You get the measurements and an honest opinion, and the decision is entirely yours. There is nothing in condemning a tyre that has life left in it.
With a depth gauge across the tread rather than a glance, and a look at the sidewalls for anything obvious. It takes a couple of minutes because the car is already lifted.
Then you are told plainly, because that is a different conversation from one that is merely getting low. You still choose what happens next, and the stock is on the van if you want it dealt with there and then.
Yes. Plenty of people want the figures to think about later or to compare against what they were told somewhere else, and that is a perfectly fair thing to want.
No. The wheel is off and the car is up regardless. Looking at the other three is a couple of minutes on the end of a job that was happening anyway.
