Tyre trouble in Colindale?

Two sorts of tyre job turn up in Colindale. One arrives off the motorway: a car leaves the M1 at Fiveways Corner, gets as far as Colindeep Lane and stops because the tread has let go. The other is domestic, a slow leak found on the drive after a week of topping the pressure up. Both finish the same way. Read out the size, the load and speed letters and the postcode, and the fitter turns up carrying that tyre rather than an approximation of it.

What we do in Colindale
Tyre work in Colindale.
Tyres are ordered against what the vehicle already wears, size with load index and speed rating together, at budget, mid-range or premium level, and that spread takes in run-flats and EV fitments, van and 4x4 sizes, winter, all-season and performance rubber. Punctures in the tread earn a repair from inside, BS AU 159 settling that once the casing has been read. A tyre past the point of repair is replaced and the rim looked over. Locking nuts whose key has vanished are extracted. Wheels are balanced before they are bolted home, whatever the hour.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Colindale
Drives, bays and car parks.
Best is a drive or a private bay where the car already stands. After that a quiet residential street, with the vehicle fully in the space and room alongside for the fitter to crouch. The Asda car park belongs to the store and is meant for customers, so a word with them first saves an argument. Both retail parks are out, as is anything on the A5 Edgware Road. A car that cannot be moved off the M1 has to be recovered before a wheel is touched.
The calls spread from the roads around Colindale station out to Kingsbury Road, down Colindeep Lane towards The Hyde, and up to Burnt Oak Broadway. Where an address has parking behind or beneath the block, that is usually workable, provided there is headroom and a jack will go under the sill; older streets have drives instead. Failing both, a residential kerb does, provided the car has not been left with two wheels up the footway. Colindale Retail Park and Silk Bridge Retail Park are privately managed and do not permit fitting on their tarmac. Burnt Oak Station Car Park is the railway's to decide about. The A5 and the A1 at Fiveways Corner are through routes, so nothing is jacked on either.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Colindale.
Night work in NW9 tends to follow the motorway. Somebody comes down off the M1, feels the steering go, and stops in the first lit turning they reach. Others ring before dawn having walked out to a flat. The number is manned at every hour, and what the job costs is settled on that call rather than on the doorstep.

Colindale FAQs
Questions from Colindale.
Can you fit tyres in Colindale Retail Park?
That car park is private land and the people who run it do not allow mobile fitting on it. The same goes for Silk Bridge Retail Park. A residential street nearby, or your own parking space, gives the fitter room and keeps everyone out of trouble.
I came off the M1 at Fiveways Corner with a flat. What now?
Get clear of the motorway and its slip roads first, then stop somewhere ordinary, a turning off Colindeep Lane for instance. Hard shoulders and emergency areas are places nobody should work. A car that will not budge, with you sitting in traffic, is a 999 job, or National Highways on 0300 123 5000.
Are run-flats available for cars in NW9?
Run-flats are ordered from the markings stamped on the tyre already fitted, exactly as any other size is. Give the make and model and read the whole code out on the phone, so the right one is aboard before anybody sets off.
Is there anywhere public to park near Colindale station for a tyre change?
Station parking sits under railway control, so consent has to come from whoever operates it. Most callers find it simpler to put the car on a nearby residential street and pass on its name, which takes the question away completely.
