The Burroughs names a road first and a district second, the A504 running from Watford Way past Church Road towards Finchley Lane. Rescue Tyres sees to the wheel where the car stands, in the turnings off it rather than on it.

Tyre trouble in Burroughs, The?

in Burroughs, The.
Tyre trouble along this stretch of the A504 is more often a parking injury than a road one. Cars are squeezed into short bays, reversed against high kerbs and clipped by everything going past, and a sidewall takes a scuff that shows itself as a soft tyre days afterwards. Station Road and Church Road contribute their share of debris as well. None of it requires the car to be driven anywhere: the fitter arrives with the tyre and deals with the wheel in situ.

What we do in Burroughs, The
Tyre work in Burroughs, The.
The kerbside work here is simple enough. A screw or a nail lodged in the tread calls for the wheel off, the tyre broken from the rim and the inner face inspected, then an internal repair where the damage sits in the middle band and BS AU 159 permits one. A tyre beyond saving is replaced in the fitment the car already runs. A locking nut with its key long gone is extracted and a plain one goes back. Balancing is done at the vehicle, and calls come in day and night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Burroughs, The
Drives, bays and car parks.
Best of all is a drive on one of the turnings. Next is a permit or short-stay bay with the car properly between the lines, which is how a good many NW4 jobs get done. The fitter needs enough room to lower a wheel to the ground and stand clear of passing traffic, so an end bay beats one wedged between two vans. Brent Cross Multi-Storey Car Park is shopping centre land and mobile fitting is not allowed in it. The A41 and the A406 are no place for any of this.
The people who ring from here are on the A504 itself and in everything hanging off it: Station Road down to Hendon Central, the streets between Church Road and Brent Street, and the run up Colindeep Lane. Frontage is patchy. Some addresses have a drive and the visit is over without the car moving an inch; others are flats and civic buildings where the only space is a marked bay on the street. A bay is workable when the car sits wholly inside it and there is slack alongside to swing a wheel clear. What will not do is the carriageway of The Burroughs at a busy hour, with buses coming through and nothing between the parked line and the traffic. Hendon Station Car Park is railway property, so ask rather than assume.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Burroughs, The.
Night calls from The Burroughs are often people getting back late to a bay and finding the nearside tyre down on its rim. There is no need to move it anywhere. Ring the number, say what the tyre has done and where the car sits, and a time that will actually hold gets fixed before you ring off.

Burroughs, The FAQs
Questions from Burroughs, The.
Can a tyre be changed in a marked bay on The Burroughs?
A bay away from the main run is workable if the car sits wholly inside it and there is slack alongside for a wheel to come out. On the busiest part of the road, with buses passing, it is safer to move round into one of the turnings first.
Which station is nearest, and can you meet me there?
Hendon Central is a short walk from the A504, and Hendon itself is a little further on. Both car parks answer to the railway, so their permission comes first. Most people find a nearby residential turning less bother all round.
The alloy is scuffed and the tyre keeps going down. Can that be repaired?
A leak at the rim edge from kerb contact is not a puncture, and it is not always mendable either. The tyre comes off so the bead seat and the inner face can both be judged properly, and the fitter says then whether a repair would be honest.
Are van tyres covered around NW4, or only car tyres?
Van fitments are ordered from the sidewall marking just as car fitments are, and they go on wherever the vehicle is parked. Give the make, the model and the whole size code on the phone so the load rating suits what the van is carrying.
