Emergency mobile tyre fitting
in Bromley.

The workshop comes to Bromley.

There is no reason for a car with a ruined tyre to limp from West Wickham to a depot on the A232. The equipment a workshop keeps bolted to the floor is built into the van: a bead breaker, a mounting head, a balancer, compressed air, a calibrated torque wrench and the everyday sizes Bromley cars use. That means a Bickley driveway, a Cray Avenue yard or a permit street in Anerley becomes the workshop for the job.

Read out the sidewall size and the street the car sits on; if there is a locking nut, have the key to hand. The fitter needs a level surface and room to open the side door and set the jack, which most Bromley drives and residential streets provide. Beside your Bickley hedge the wheel is lifted off, the tyre changed on the machine, spun on the balancer, refitted and torqued. The old tyre leaves with him. The figure given on the phone is what you pay in BR7.

The space the job needs

Room to kneel and roll a tyre alongside the wheel, a firm flat patch of tarmac for the jack, and a kerbside space where the van blocks no neighbour's drive: that is the whole requirement. Much of Bromley supplies that easily, since Petts Wood, Chislehurst and Hayes are largely houses with driveways. A resident bay near Clock House or Penge East stations works too, provided the bay is yours. Since the changer and balancer ride in the van, the Bromley car is never moved an inch.
