Mobile tyre fitting
in Canning Town.
Canning Town is where the A13 Newham Way, the A1026 Lower Lea Crossing and the Silvertown Tunnel Approach pile into the same few hundred yards. Rescue Tyres keeps clear of all three and works at the car, in a bay or on a quiet turning.
A fitter at your car
in Canning Town.
A tyre rarely fails quietly in E16. The tunnel and crossing approaches feed heavy traffic through Tidal Basin Roundabout at every hour, and what shakes loose off it ends up in car tyres along the A124 Barking Road and Beckton Road. The other half is scraped sidewalls, since the turnings off Prince Regent Lane are narrow and parked down both sides. Give the sidewall size, the postcode and exactly where the car is standing, and the right tyre gets loaded before the fitter drives over.

Tyre work in Canning Town.
Everything done at a Canning Town address is tyre and wheel work. New covers in the size printed on the sidewall, loaded in north London before the van heads east, at three price levels, with run-flat, EV, van and performance patterns all obtainable. A puncture in the tread band is dismounted and sealed from behind under BS AU 159 whenever the injury permits. Burst tyres swapped with the rim checked first. A lost locking key is no obstacle, since the nut comes off regardless. Calls taken every day of the week.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
Best case is a resident's bay or a drive, and most Canning Town jobs end on one. Will Thorne Pavilion car park gives level ground to anybody whose street is too tight for a van as well as a car. Estate courtyards behind the blocks off Barking Road do fine when the vehicle can be left clear of the bin stores and the access lane. Silvertown Way and Manor Road carry far too much at all hours for anything at all to be attempted at the kerb.
Work lands on the estates between Star Lane and Canning Town station, on the flats along Victoria Dock Road, and over towards Royal Victoria where hotel and exhibition parking dominates. Those hotel bays belong to guests, so a fitter attends one only when you are staying there and the desk agrees. Will Thorne Pavilion car park is a public one with room to swing a jack. Residential streets are largely controlled bays, which is no obstacle at all: the car keeps the space it is already in. Nothing whatsoever happens on the A13, the A1026 or the tunnel approach, none of which is a place to kneel beside a wheel. The ULEZ covers the district around the clock, and a car being worked on where it sits pays nothing.

24 hours in Canning Town.
Night calls out of E16 tend to follow shift work. Drivers finishing around the docks, people home late off the A13 with a rim on the floor, and cabbies who want the car sound before the morning. Somebody answers, the size is confirmed on that call along with what the job comes to, and a realistic time to arrive is agreed.
What drivers say.
"Excellent service from start to finish. He came out quickly to help my mum change her tyre and was extremely friendly."
