Mobile tyre fitting
in Richmond.
The Richmond meant here is the London one, where the A316 sweeps round Richmond Circus and George Street clogs by mid-morning. Rescue Tyres turns up wherever the car is standing in TW10 and deals with the tyre on the spot.
A fitter at your car
in Richmond.
Around here, the harm is mostly done in the town centre. Red Lion Street, George Street and The Square are tight and one-way in places, so a wheel meets a kerb at walking pace more often than anything happens at speed. Further out, Lower Mortlake Road and Twickenham Road carry the A316 traffic that throws up debris. Either way the car usually gets home, or as far as a side street off Paradise Road, before anyone rings. That is where the fitter meets it.

Tyre work in Richmond.
Four jobs account for nearly everything asked for in TW10. Fitting a new tyre, matched to what is stamped on the one coming off, be that a small hatchback size, a run-flat, a van, EV or performance fitment. Mending a tread puncture, which means breaking the tyre away from its rim and patching it internally in the way BS AU 159 demands. Swapping a tyre that has already let go, once the rim itself has been looked over. And extracting a locking nut once its key has disappeared.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
A driveway is the exception rather than the rule in the older streets, so most jobs end on a resident bay with the car sitting square to the kerb. The two public car parks, Paradise Road and Friars Lane, suit anyone whose car still drives and who would rather not narrow a busy road further. Parking at Richmond station is railway property, so its operator has to be happy about a wheel coming off in there. Old Deer Park replaces neither.
Calls come from the streets between Richmond station and Sheen Road, from the residential roads running down towards Petersham, and from East Twickenham on the far side of Twickenham Bridge. Nearly all of TW10 is controlled parking, so a car on a resident bay is workable as long as the permit is current and somebody tells the fitter which bay. Paradise Road Car Park and Friars Lane Car Park are public and open enough to swing a jack in. What is ruled out: the carriageway at Richmond Circus, Lower Mortlake Road, and the climb to Twickenham Bridge, each carrying A316 traffic with no room to stand clear. TW10 lies in the ULEZ like every London postcode, yet nothing is charged to a parked car having its wheel taken off.

24 hours in Richmond.
Two sorts of caller ring from TW10 after midnight. One has come home from the town centre and found the tyre flat on the bay outside the house. The other is due out early towards the A316 and does not fancy the trip on something soft. Somebody picks up either way, and you are quoted for tyre and callout plainly, before a van is sent.
What drivers say.
"Called them to repair my tyre. 20 minutes and they came and changed it, very reasonable price. So happy with the service."
