Angel is where the A1 down Upper Street meets the A501, with bus lanes, red route kerbs and not a driveway in sight. Rescue Tyres takes the wheel off in the N1 bay the car is already holding.

Nothing about this corner of N1 is built for working on a car. Upper Street and Islington High Street carry the A1 through the middle with buses on top of it, White Lion Street and Baron Street are narrow, and the terraces behind are bays from end to end. So the car does not move. Ring with the road name, which side of Upper Street it is on and whatever is stamped on the tyre wall, and the correct tyre travels out to the bay on the van.

What we do in Angel
Tyre work in Angel.
The vehicle list in N1 runs to small cars, light vans and electric ones, and each gets a tyre chosen from the code moulded into the one coming off rather than from something similar. A tread puncture is dismounted, the inner liner read, and a patch and plug fitted where BS AU 159 lets it happen. A sidewall scrubbed on a bay kerb is past saving and gets replaced, rim checked before the new one goes on. Locking nuts are extracted when the key cannot be found. The old tyre leaves in the van.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).

Where we work in Angel
Drives, bays and car parks.
A resident permit bay, nearly every time, with the van behind and the fitter on the pavement side of the wheel. A pay-by-phone bay serves the same purpose while the session is running. Parking under one of the newer blocks works if the ramp has the height for a van and whoever runs the block says yes. Bentley Road Car Park belongs to the housing it serves rather than to visiting drivers. Out of the question: the A1 kerb, a bus stop clearway, a loading bay in its hours, and a car left half on the pavement.
The district is the terraces either side of Upper Street, the Essex Road run towards Canonbury, and the blocks down towards City Road. Not one of those streets offers off street parking worth the name, so whatever bay the car is in becomes the place the work happens. The typical risk here is a kerbed alloy or a bruised sidewall, collected reversing into a bay barely longer than the car. Upper Street, Islington High Street, Pentonville Road and City Road are red route and bus lane ground where no wheel comes off at all, and Highbury Corner at the top is worse. Loading bays are taken up by deliveries through the day. N1 sits inside the ULEZ, though the scheme looks at vehicles on the move and not at one propped on a jack.

Nights and weekends
24 hours in Angel.
Upper Street keeps going long after the shops shut, so tyre trouble here can turn up in the small hours: somebody back from an evening out to a soft tyre, a driver who has to be away early and will not risk it. The car stays in its bay. Ring 07473 720871, read out the size and the street, and the figure is settled before anybody leaves Brent Cross.

Angel FAQs
Questions from Angel.
There is no driveway anywhere near me. Can you still fit a tyre?
Bays are what this district has, and bays are what the fitter expects. A resident bay, or a pay-by-phone one with the session running, gives the fitter everything needed, so long as the car sits square to the kerb. Nothing else has to be arranged.
The tyre went down on Upper Street. Where should I stop?
Off the A1 at the first turning you can take. Upper Street and Islington High Street are red route and bus lane through most of their length, and a jacked car on either would be in the way of a bus within moments. A terrace street behind gives room to work.
Can you meet me near Essex Road or Angel station?
A street near either works, provided the car is standing in a bay it is entitled to. Station land belongs to the operator rather than to us, so the practical answer is usually a turning a short walk off, and you give the road name and the nearest junction when you ring.
Do you take on vans working around Upper Street and Essex Road?
Trade vehicles are covered in N1, where a van parked up for a delivery round cannot afford to sit. Commercial sizes are ordered from the markings on the casing, and the van is dealt with in whatever bay or side street it has stopped in.
