Tyre trouble in Dollis Hill?

The hill itself does some of the damage. Streets here climb and drop between the Edgware Road and the North Circular, and a rim clipped against a kerb on some narrow turning tends to lose its pressure overnight rather than on the spot. The rest is ordinary: something sharp collected on the A5, a valve that has aged out, a tyre down to the wear bars. Photograph the sidewall so the size can be read properly, and the correct one is on the van before it leaves NW2.

What we do in Dollis Hill
Tyre work in Dollis Hill.
Work in NW2 divides simply. A tyre with a nail in the middle of its tread can usually be saved: the wheel comes off, the casing is inspected from the inner face and a bonded repair goes in where BS AU 159 says one may. A tyre cut in the sidewall, or run flat until the structure has gone, cannot, and a new one is fitted and balanced at the kerb instead. Locking nuts whose key vanished years ago come away without a scratch. The phone line does not close at night or at the weekend.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Dollis Hill
Drives, bays and car parks.
A drive is best, and a fair number of houses on this side of NW2 still have one. Where there is none, the fitter works from the pavement side of the car in its bay, which needs the kerb clear enough for a van to stand alongside. The car parks along the Edgware Road belong to the stores they serve, Wing Yip and the B and Q among them, so they only suit somebody who is shopping there anyway. The flyover and the A5 frontage are not options at all.
Most of what comes in is residential: the terraces and semis on the streets running off Dudden Hill Lane, the houses up towards Cricklewood, and the flats nearer Brent Cross West. Some have a drive and some do not, which decides the job more than anything else does. Two roads frame the district and neither is workable. The A5 along this edge is a red route with buses on it all day, and the Staples Corner flyover carries the A406 over the junction with no stopping anywhere on it. Take the next turning off either and park on a residential street. Dollis Hill lies inside the ULEZ like everywhere else in Greater London; the charge follows the wheels turning, not a car sitting on a jack.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Dollis Hill.
Being this close to where the van is loaded, Dollis Hill gets a fair share of the small hours work. Usually it is somebody walking out to a car before an early shift, or a driver just down from the North Circular who has turned into the first quiet street they saw. Ring at any hour; you are told the cost while the call is still running.

Dollis Hill FAQs
Questions from Dollis Hill.
Your base is in NW2 as well. Can I bring the car to you instead?
The address at Brent Cross is a loading point for the vans rather than anywhere a customer can wait, and the roads around Staples Corner are heavy industrial ones. It suits everybody better for the fitter to come to your street in Dollis Hill and do the wheel there.
Can a wheel be changed on a permit bay in Dollis Hill?
That is where a good part of this district's work is done. The car keeps its space, the permit needs to be valid for the zone, and there has to be enough room beside it for somebody to kneel out of the traffic. Say which street and the nearest house number.
My tyre is going down near Brent Cross West station. Where is sensible to stop?
Come off the main road and into the residential streets that sit behind the station, then leave the car there. Station forecourts are busy with drop offs and the approach roads are not built for standing. A quiet turning gives the fitter room and keeps you clear of moving traffic.
Could you do the wheel alignment at the same time?
No. Wheel alignment falls outside what Rescue Tyres does, and so do brakes, batteries and servicing. The work is tyres and wheels: replacement, repair where the tyre allows it, locking nut removal and balancing. Anything needing a ramp belongs at a garage.
