At the car
Tyre trouble in Redbridge after hours, repaired where the car is.
A late-night puncture in Redbridge can be discovered on the way in: the pressure warning on the last stretch of the A12 from Romford, a hiss on a Fairlop driveway, a tyre gone soft outside an Ilford terrace after a late shift. The temptation is to swap the whole tyre, but a screw mid-tread at 1am in Fairlop is no different from a screw mid-tread at noon, and a patch costs less than a tyre.
Call 07473 720871, ask for a repair, and give the Hainault street or Ilford bay. Wheel off, tyre off, a look inside, and then the night fitter patch-plugs a central hole up to 6 mm to BS AU 159, then refits and balances it. If the tyre has been driven flat down Barkingside High Street and the liner is scrubbed, you are told and offered a replacement instead. Price agreed first, the same as by day.
