How the job is done
A repair in Sutton that cannot wait.
Sutton has two hospitals, St Helier in Carshalton and the Royal Marsden at Belmont, and nobody there can start late over a tyre. Parents doing the run to schools off Carshalton Road, patients with a Marsden appointment, Worcester Park commuters with a meeting in town: same problem. A nail is in the tread, most of the air is still in the tyre, and everything depends on the car leaving on time. That is an urgent job for the day, done at the car if it can be fitted in.
Ring 07473 720871, say what the deadline is, and name the spot: St Helier car park, Carshalton drive, Belmont street. The call tells you if the day can fit it in, and the arrival time given is an honest estimate rather than a promise. At the car: tyre off, inside checked, a Carshalton nail hole, 6 mm or under and mid-tread, patched from behind to BS AU 159, wheel balanced and back on. No patch possible? Then a replacement is offered and priced in the car park.
