This is Soho in central London, the block between Oxford Street and Charing Cross Road under Westminster, not the Soho anywhere else. Rescue Tyres carries a matching tyre out to the car here, into whichever bay or basement it is sitting in.

Tyre trouble in Soho?
A fitter at your car
A fitter at your car
in Soho.
Hardly anybody drives in Soho by choice, which is exactly why a flat tyre here is such a nuisance: narrow one-way streets, crowds on every pavement and nowhere to limp to. A screw collected on Oxford Street or New Oxford Street shows itself when the car will not start its journey. Text over the markings from the sidewall with the street name, and the right fitment travels in with the fitter from Brent Cross.

What we do in Soho
Tyre work in Soho.
Soho jobs are a small handful, done at the kerb. A new tyre in the exact size, including run-flat and low profile fitments no shop nearby keeps on a shelf. A tread puncture meeting the BS AU 159 conditions, mended from inside the tyre after it comes off the rim. A burst tyre changed with the rim checked. A locking nut shifted when its key cannot be produced. Plus the 24 hour line, which in this district gets used.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Soho
Drives, bays and car parks.
A paid bay is the normal working surface and the car can stay in it. Basement parking under the offices works if the building lets a fitter in and the ramp is tall enough for a service van. Oxford Street Car Park and Bloomsbury Square Car Park are close enough to be the answer for anything still driveable. Pedestrian streets, the pavements outside the bars and the bus lanes on Charing Cross Road are all off the list.
Residents in the flats above the shops ring, so do businesses whose vans are parked up for the day, and so do people who left a car in W1T while they were out. Every kerb is controlled, plenty of streets are one-way or closed to traffic, and the fitter needs a street name and the nearest corner rather than a postcode on its own. Charing Cross Road and Tottenham Court Road carry buses and cycle lanes, which rules out standing a van beside a jacked car on either. The ULEZ runs here at all hours and the charge zone takes in these streets as well, but a vehicle parked up for a tyre change is billed by neither.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Soho.
Soho is busiest once everywhere else has shut, so a night call here is ordinary rather than an emergency: a car wanted after a late finish, a cab with a wheel down, a van due out at first light. Somebody picks the phone up whatever the hour, and the cost is agreed before a wheel is touched.

Soho FAQs
Questions from Soho.
Which Soho does this page cover?
The W1 one in central London, between Oxford Street, Charing Cross Road and Covent Garden, in Westminster. It is on the round seven days a week, and so are Fitzrovia, St Giles and Mayfair around it.
Can a tyre be changed on a street that is closed to traffic?
Not on a pedestrianised stretch, where a van cannot legally stand and there is no safe room to jack a car. The answer is a paid bay on the nearest open street, or a basement car park when the car happens to be in one.
Is there anywhere to park nearby if the car still drives?
Oxford Street Car Park is the closest of the sizeable ones and Bloomsbury Square Car Park is a short run east. Either gives space around the car. Drive gently on a soft tyre and stop if it begins to feel loose on the rim.
Can you help a van parked up in Soho during the working day?
Van tyres are carried in the common sizes and ordered in for the rest, and a vehicle in a bay is worked on where it stands. Read out the load index printed beside the size, since van fitments differ.
