Mobile tyre fitting
in Fairfield.

A fitter at your car
in Fairfield.

Fairfield is almost entirely homes, and that shapes the work. Nearly every call begins with a car sitting outside its own front door: a pressure warning on the school run, a tyre found flat first thing, or a bulge noticed while loading the boot. Much of the damage is collected elsewhere, on trips to Letchworth, Hitchin or the A1(M), and only makes itself known after the car is parked. Because the fitter comes to the address, nobody needs to nurse a damaged tyre down the road.

Drives, bays and car parks.

A private drive is ideal, and so is an allocated bay outside the house. A shared parking court works too, provided the fitter can reach the side that needs the wheel off and the neighbours are not boxed in for long. On-street parking is fine on a quiet road with the car close to the kerb. Soft verges and grass are unusable because a jack sinks into them, and so is any slope steep enough to let the car creep.

Postcodes here straddle a line. Most addresses are SG5, while some come under SG15 or SG6, so the full postcode is the surest way to find the right street. Calls come from across the village and from the settlements close by, Arlesey and Stotfold especially, with the Letchworth estates at The Grange and Norton a little further off. The streets are residential and the parking is mostly beside the homes, which usually leaves somewhere level to work. The spots to avoid are tight bends, places where the car blocks a neighbour's drive, and the verge of any through road. There are no shops or public car parks to meet at, so the address itself is the plan, and a car that has stopped elsewhere is best brought home slowly if the tyre allows it.
