Mobile tyre fitting
in Goddington.

A fitter at your car
in Goddington.

Very little goes wrong with tyres in Goddington itself, because there is hardly any through traffic to cause it. What happens instead is that damage collected elsewhere, on Court Road, at Nugent Retail Park or out on the A224, turns up at home. The pressure warning lights up on the drive, or the car is found sitting on its rim in the morning. That is the simplest sort of call there is: the vehicle has not moved and does not need to.

Drives, bays and car parks.

Drives, plainly. Most houses here have one and a level drive is the simplest working surface there is, with the car untouched from start to finish. Where a property has only kerbside space, a turning off the main roads is fine, with the car parked tight in. Priory Gardens in Orpington is the nearest public car park if a meeting point is needed. Court Road carries steady traffic and is not used. Grass verges are no good under a jack.

This is off street parking country, which decides how nearly every job goes: the car sits on its own drive, the fitter parks alongside, and no permit or bay is involved anywhere. Calls come from the roads towards Ramsden and Cockmannings, from the Orpington edge, and from the Chelsfield side where addresses shade between BR5 and BR6. Court Road and Spur Road are the two A roads on the doorstep and neither is a place to stand a jacked car. Junction 4 of the M25 is a couple of miles south, and nothing at all is done on the motorway. ULEZ reaches out here, as it does to every London address, although a car left standing is not charged.
