Mobile tyre fitting
in Aldgate.
Aldgate is the City's eastern corner, where Minories, Mansell Street and Goodman's Yard funnel traffic down towards Tower Hill. Almost every car here is in a basement or on a metered bay, and Rescue Tyres works on it there.
A fitter at your car
in Aldgate.
Tyres in Aldgate belong to people who drove in, not to people who live over the road. A car comes off the A13 or in through Mansell Street, goes down a ramp for the day, and the flat is discovered at six in the evening with the barrier about to shut. There is no supply of quiet residential kerb to fall back on, so the job gets arranged around the building, the bay and whoever holds the keys to both.

Tyre work in Aldgate.
Work in EC3A is mostly replacement, because a car run on a flat down a ramp seldom has a repairable tyre left on it. Sizes are ordered against the sidewall, budget through to premium, and run-flat fitments are common on this sort of vehicle. Repairs follow BS AU 159, the tyre off the rim and read from inside before anything is decided. Locking nuts without keys come off cleanly, and the callout number is answered every day of the year.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
A parking level beneath an office or a residential tower is the finest surface the City offers, and the usual one: even concrete, lighting, shelter. The building decides, so ask the concierge and pass on the level, the bay and the ramp height. The Crescent and Minories car parks are open to the public and give a driveable car somewhere sensible to wait. A metered bay on a side street does for a short job. The footway outside a tower does not.
The requests are office cars, hotel guests and residents of the newer blocks along Prescot Street and Goodman's Yard. Street parking in EC3N is metered, tightly timed and thin on the ground, so much of the work goes on underground, where a building manager decides whether a service van comes down the ramp and how much headroom it has. Minories and Tower Hill are through routes with bus traffic and no room to jack a car beside them. Aldgate is one of the few corners of this patch that really does sit within the Congestion Charge boundary, the ULEZ on top of it, and both bear on the journey in rather than on a wheel swapped while the car is standing still.
