Buying tyres deserves ten quiet minutes and an honest look at what the car is actually used for, and that is a far better decision made at a desk than made on a wet kerb with a tyre already in pieces. It is why most of the full sets we fit around here go on during a working day, to a car that was parked at half past eight and has not moved since. The choosing happens beforehand over the phone: the size and the ratings read off the sidewall, the mileage you actually cover, and a straight conversation about whether the car warrants premium rubber or whether a good mid-range tyre is the sensible answer.
What the fitting itself needs is short and worth knowing before you book. Space alongside the car, roughly a door's width plus enough room to kneel. A car that will not be blocked in by somebody else halfway through the morning. Height clearance if it is a multi-storey, which is the one thing that stops a job outright. A word in advance with whoever runs the car park, because a fitting van standing beside a car for half an hour is much better mentioned beforehand than explained afterwards. Ground firm and level enough to jack on. Tell us those and the tyres and the balancer travel out with us.
One tyre or four changes the price and nothing else about how it works. The van brings what you have agreed to and fits it where the car sits, on South Africa Road or on a driveway, balances each wheel as it goes on, and sets the pressures to the plate figure rather than to whatever was in there before. We are out on Wood Lane at 2am and in Old Oak at 2pm. The Hammersmith Park phone and the Wood Lane phone ring the same fitter, any hour.

The offices and media buildings around Wood Lane and South Africa Road mean a lot of cars here sit still from morning until evening, which is dead time that a tyre change fits into perfectly. The only local complication is that so much of the parking is covered, and height restrictions are the one thing that will stop us before we start. Say where the car is and how it is parked when you book, and if it is under cover we will check the clearance then rather than discovering it on the day.
A set agreed the evening before for a car parked near Wood Lane, then fitted the next morning while the owner worked. Nothing had to be decided at the kerb because everything had been decided already.
A driver in a shared car park shifted the car to a bay with space on one side before we arrived. That single move is the difference between a straightforward morning and a job that cannot start.
A car in a multi-storey near Westfield needed the clearance confirmed on the phone first. Turning up and finding a barrier the van cannot pass wastes the appointment for everybody.
It is a large part of what we do. The tyres, the balancer and the tools all travel on the van, so the work happens beside the car in whatever bay it is standing in. You carry on with your day and the car is finished by the time you go back down to it.
Four things. Room to work along one side of the car, a bay it will not be boxed into, ground firm and level enough to lift on, and clearance for the van if the parking is covered. If the car park is managed, let them know we are coming rather than leaving us to explain ourselves at a barrier.
Not for the whole of it. We need to know which car and be able to reach it. We ring when we arrive and ring again when it is finished, and payment is card or contactless once the wheels are back on and the pressures are set.
Mileage and how long you plan to keep the car decide most of it. A car doing heavy weekly miles gets the benefit of a premium tyre for years. A car doing very little may be better served by a solid mid-range tyre, and we will say so rather than selling you the dearest thing on the van.
