What happens
Beyond repair in Barking and Dagenham and the car is needed now.
Kerb damage on a Becontree corner, a run-flat that has run flat along the A124 Longbridge Road, a tyre ripped open by a joint on New Road: when the fitter looks and says it cannot be patched, and you have somewhere to be, this is the page. The difference from a routine new-tyre booking is that we aim to book the job for today if the diary allows, with the fitter ringing from the van when he is on his way to RM6 or IG11.
Read the sidewall size and the load and speed rating so we bring a tyre that matches the one on the other side of the axle. The dead tyre comes off, the fresh one goes on, balanced and torqued, and the remaining tyres are checked for pressure, tread depth and any other damage from the same incident. The total is stated before we leave and does not change on your Barking street. The dead tyre leaves with the van.
The same Brent Cross team also handles burst tyre replacement in Barking and Dagenham and 24 hour tyre repair in Barking and Dagenham, booked on the same call.
