Maze Hill takes its name from the road and the station on the eastern edge of Greenwich Park, in SE10, and there is very little off street parking anywhere near it. Rescue Tyres works at the kerb where the car stands.

Tyre trouble in Maze Hill?

The tyre trouble in this pocket of SE10 is mostly slow and domestic. A car parked on the same stretch of Trafalgar Road or Maze Hill for a week picks up a screw somewhere in Greenwich and loses pressure quietly, and the owner finds it flat on a Saturday morning. Kerbs do the rest: the streets are narrow, visitors fill them, and squeezing an alloy into the last gap costs a sidewall now and then. The size is on the sidewall, so read it out when you ring.

What we do in Maze Hill
Tyre work in Maze Hill.
What arrives is a van carrying fitting and balancing gear and the tyre that matches your car, ordered off the sidewall markings before it sets out. A puncture in the tread is dealt with properly, by taking the tyre off the rim and repairing it from the inside where BS AU 159 allows, rather than plugging it from outside. A blown or kerbed tyre is replaced, with the rim given a look before anything goes back on. A locking wheel nut is taken off without its key. Nights and weekends are covered.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Maze Hill
Drives, bays and car parks.
A controlled bay is the normal working surface here and there is no shame in it: the car stays where it is, the meter or the app covers the time, and the fitter kneels on the road side. Where a house has a hardstanding, better still. For anyone who would rather meet somewhere with space, Park Row and Burney Street both have public car parks within easy reach of Maze Hill. Greenwich Park's own gates and the coach bays are not working spots.
Work in this corner comes from the streets between Maze Hill station and Trafalgar Road, from the Manchester Estate and East Greenwich beyond it, and from the roads running down towards Romney Road and King William Walk. Almost every bay is controlled, partly because of the visitors who leave cars here and walk into Greenwich, so the fitter wants the street, the house number and whether the bay is resident-only or pay-by-phone. The A206 along Trafalgar Road and Woolwich Road carries buses and lorries and is not somewhere to jack a car. Neither is the A102 slip towards the Blackwall Tunnel. This is Greenwich borough, so ULEZ applies at all hours, though nothing is charged on a car that is standing at the kerb with a wheel off.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Maze Hill.
Late calls in SE10 often come after an event over at the Peninsula, when somebody walking back to a car near Maze Hill station finds it sitting on the rim. Others are simply people who spot a flat before bed. Whatever time it is, ring; the figure is confirmed before the van rolls.

Maze Hill FAQs
Questions from Maze Hill.
Can you fit a tyre in the Park Row car park?
That one is public, a short run from Maze Hill, and roomy enough to work in without blocking anybody. It suits anyone whose car will cover the few hundred yards. Pull in well away from the barriers and say where you have stopped.
My car is in a pay-by-phone bay near Maze Hill station. Is that a problem?
Not at all, as long as the session has time left on it while the work happens. Top it up by phone before the fitter arrives. The car never leaves the bay: the wheel is raised, the old cover stripped from the rim and the replacement fitted there.
The tyre went down on Trafalgar Road. Can you come to me there?
Not on the A206 itself, which is busy with buses and has nowhere safe to stand. Turn off into one of the residential streets between there and Maze Hill and stop at the kerb. Should the car be immovable, say so on the call and the job is planned around it.
Do you carry run-flat tyres for cars around Greenwich Park?
Run-flat sizes are ordered the same way as any other, from the markings on the tyre already on the car, and brought out on the van. Read out the whole code when you ring, including the load and speed letters, plus the make if you would rather stay with it.
