Mobile tyre fitting
in Kevington.

A fitter at your car
in Kevington.

Three A roads crossing in one place gives this corner more than its share of damaged tyres. The A232, the A233 and the A21 all funnel through, and a vehicle that clips a kerb on the turn or runs over something dropped from a lorry will often carry on for a day before the pressure gives up. Trade vehicles feel it worst, because a van standing idle costs a working day. Read out the sidewall code and the BR2 postcode and the replacement travels with the fitter.

Drives, bays and car parks.

Yards first, since so much of the local work is commercial: a unit at Invicta Works or Elliott Works gives flat ground, room round the vehicle and nothing passing. Home drives are just as good and take the rest. A quiet residential turning will do when there is no drive, with the car parked hard against the kerb so the fitter can work from the pavement side. The A233 and the A21 are not options at any hour.

Work here splits between homes and units. The houses are along Croydon Road and the roads between Keston Mark and Bromley Common, nearly all of them with space to park off the road. The units are at Invicta Works, Elliott Works and Glebe Farm Business Park, where a yard is as good a working surface as a drive as long as the site knows a van is coming in. What is not on is the carriageway of the A21 at Hastings Road or Farnborough Common, or the A232 at Crofton Road, all of which move too much traffic for a jack to be put under anything. ULEZ applies here as it does everywhere inside Greater London, and no charge falls on a car that is standing still.
