The name misleads people, including satnavs. This is residential ground on the Rickmansworth side, the Loudwater and Troutstream roads, the Cedars Estate, the streets running down to the A412 at Rectory Road and Park Road. Tyre trouble here is mostly domestic: a screw found on a Sunday morning, a pressure warning after a cold night, a wheel scuffed turning into a narrow entrance. All of it can be dealt with on the spot, which is the point of a van that carries the tyre and the balancing gear with it.

What we do in Chorleywood West
Tyre work in Chorleywood West.
A locking wheel nut with no key turns up often on cars bought second-hand, and the removal socket grips the outer face and backs it out without touching the alloy. Beyond that it is the usual four: a tread puncture pulled from its rim and mended to BS AU 159 when the damage sits inside the permitted band, a replacement ordered to the sidewall size when it does not, a burst dealt with after the rim has been checked, and a night callout when the timing demands it.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Chorleywood West
Drives, bays and car parks.
Private drives handle nearly everything, and a van needs only enough room alongside to open its side door. Where a car has already been driven out, the public car parks at Rickmansworth are under a mile off: Rose Garden, Ebury Road and the Citipark. The Waitrose customer parking works too if the store is told first. Nothing happens on the A412 or the Ebury Roundabout approach, and a grass verge on an estate road is no place for a jack.
Most of the calling is done from private addresses, because that is nearly all there is out here: no parade, no station of its own, no public car park inside the estates. A drive is therefore the working surface almost every time, and there are few houses without one. The estate roads themselves are quiet enough for a wheel change at the kerb if a drive is blocked, provided the car is not left across somebody's entrance. Two roads are not options. Along the A404, Chorleywood Road runs at a steady pace with no lay-by worth the name, and the A412 Uxbridge Road near the Ebury Roundabout is busy in both directions.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Chorleywood West.
Late work in this corner of WD3 tends to be a car found flat on a drive, or somebody home off the A412 who has heard something go on the way. Neither has to wait for morning. What the job will cost is settled when you ring, and payment waits until the wheel has been torqued up again.

Chorleywood West FAQs
Questions from Chorleywood West.
Is Chorleywood West the same as Chorleywood?
They are separate pieces of WD3. Chorleywood village sits nearly two miles west, while Chorleywood West covers Loudwater, the Cedars Estate and the roads nearer Rickmansworth station. Both are on the round, so the name matters less than the postcode you give on the phone.
There is no drive at my house. Where does the work happen?
On the estate road outside, provided the car blocks no gateway and is not left on a bend. Failing that, drive it the short distance to the Rose Garden or Ebury Road car park at Rickmansworth and the fitter will meet you there.
Can the new wheel be balanced here, or does it have to go somewhere else?
Balancing is done at the roadside, because the van carries the balancer as well as the fitting machine. The wheel comes off, the new tyre goes on, weights are set and the wheel is torqued back up before anybody leaves.
How close is M25 junction 18 to Chorleywood West?
Under a mile, with 17 at Maple Cross a little further on. That is handy for the van and unhelpful for tyres, since damage done at motorway speed often only shows once the car is parked up on an estate road here.
