Mobile tyre fitting

A fitter at your car
in Northwood.

Tyre damage in HA6 is nearly always collected on an ordinary errand and noticed long afterwards. Something small goes into the tread by Church Road or up at Northwood Hills Circus, the pressure holds for a day or two, then the dashboard lights up outside the house. That is the simplest sort of call, since the car has already parked itself somewhere sensible. Read the size off the sidewall, name the road, and the matching rubber is loaded before anyone leaves.

Drives, bays and car parks.

A drive is the obvious answer and most Northwood addresses have one, with room enough for the van to sit alongside. Green Lane Car Park works for a car that will still drive, and it is easy enough to describe down the phone. Oxhey Woods Car Park works the same way for anyone at the northern edge. The Waitrose customer car park is usable if whoever is running the shop is told first. The kerb of High Street is not, and neither is the approach to the station, which is too tight to work in.

Calls come off the streets between Northwood station and Green Lane, from the roads climbing towards Duck's Hill Road, and from the Northwood Hills end where Joel Street joins. A driveway settles most of them, and there are plenty of those here. Where a house has none, a quiet residential road will serve, so long as nothing is left on a bend or blocking a dropped kerb. The one road nobody should suggest is the A4125: High Street and Watford Road run busy from morning until late, with no space beside them for a fitter to stand. This is Greater London, which puts Northwood inside the ULEZ at all hours, weekends included; a stationary car losing a wheel to a jack owes the zone nothing.
