St Giles is the few blocks where New Oxford Street, Shaftesbury Avenue and Charing Cross Road meet, with Seven Dials and Covent Garden on the doorstep. Rescue Tyres works on the vehicle in place, since nothing here can be driven far.

Tyre trouble in St Giles?

A tyre problem in St Giles is a parking problem first. There are no driveways in WC2H and very little public space, so a car with a flat is stuck in whatever bay it occupies, and that bay is where the job has to happen. Punctures show up after a run through the junctions on St Giles High Street and Bloomsbury Way. Send the sidewall size along with the precise spot on the street.

What we do in St Giles
Tyre work in St Giles.
Everything happens at the parked car. A replacement tyre in the size and rating printed on the sidewall, ordered before the van leaves so nothing is guessed at. A puncture pulled off the rim and inspected, then mended from within if BS AU 159 permits that. A burst casing swapped over, with the rim examined as it goes. A locking nut taken off and a plain one put on. The phone is covered right through the night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in St Giles
Drives, bays and car parks.
The surfaces here are few. A paid or permit bay with room behind the car is the usual one, and it is enough for the jack and the wheel. Basement parking below one of the office blocks works when the building agrees and the ramp is high enough. After that there is little: no driveways, no forecourts, no retail park. Pavements stay crowded from morning to night, which puts every one of them out of the question.
Calls come from the flats above the shops, from staff at the businesses packed into these blocks, and from drivers who parked near Covent Garden or Leicester Square and returned to a soft wheel. Every space is a controlled bay, and the district has no sizeable public car park of its own, so the two to aim for while a car still drives are Bloomsbury Square Car Park and the one under Oxford Street. Shaftesbury Avenue and Charing Cross Road are bus and taxi routes, no place at all to jack a car. St Giles falls under the ULEZ, with the Congestion Charge over it as well while the charge runs, and a car going nowhere owes nothing under either.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in St Giles.
Nights around here belong to the theatres, bars and hotels by Seven Dials, so a car wanting a tyre in the small hours usually belongs to somebody working. Call or send a message, and the tyre, the callout and any night element are added up before a van moves.

St Giles FAQs
Questions from St Giles.
Is St Giles covered separately from Covent Garden?
Both are on the round, with Seven Dials, Soho and Holborn beside them. The van comes out from Brent Cross in north London. What matters more than the district name is the street and the bay, since these blocks have so few workable spaces.
There is no car park on my street. Where should the car go?
While it still drives, try Bloomsbury Square Car Park, or the one under Oxford Street: both are a short run off and roomy enough to work in. If it does not drive, leave it where it is and the work happens in the bay. A tyre off its bead stays put.
Can a wheel be changed near Tottenham Court Road station?
Not on the station frontage, which is too busy and offers a van no legal space. A bay in one of the quieter streets behind offers more room, and the fitter talks you round to it once you describe where the car is.
Do the charging zones add anything to the bill?
Nothing at all. The ULEZ and the Congestion Charge apply to vehicles being driven, and a car parked in WC2H with its wheel off is going nowhere. The figure agreed on the phone covers the tyre and the fitting itself.
