A car on a Highgate driveway with a wrecked tyre does not need a tow. The van carries the tyre machine, the balancer and the stock, and the whole job is done outside your door.
Highgate and Fortis Green drivers with a shredded tyre used to face a choice between a recovery truck and a crawl down Archway Road to a garage. The van removes both. Inside it are a tyre changer, wheel balancer, compressor, trolley jack and a range of common sizes, which is the equipment a depot uses, brought to the N6 kerb. Cars that cannot move off a drive near Highgate Wood get their tyre fitted without leaving it.
Tell us the size, the road and how the car is parked, whether on a level drive in Fortis Green or a permit bay on a Highgate slope, so the fitter knows to bring chocks. At the car the old tyre is stripped off the wheel, the new one goes on, spins on the van's balancer and is torqued back in place. Tyre and fitting are quoted by phone before the van leaves; there is nothing to pay for asking.
Driveways and level permit bays in Highgate, Fortis Green and Muswell Hill, and the side roads off Archway Road such as Shepherds Hill. Not on the A1 itself, and not inside Highgate Wood itself.

Give the fitter roughly a metre of clear space beside the flat wheel and, ideally, level tarmac under the jack. Highgate's slopes make that harder, so a permit bay on a flatter road off Archway Road beats a drive that tilts. The van stops behind or alongside, keeping the pavement and neighbours' crossovers clear, and nothing needs towing. Private bays at a block of flats in Fortis Green are fine with the managing agent's say-so. At no point does the Highgate car have to move.
The workshop comes to Highgate and Fortis Green; the car stays exactly where you left it.
