The A316 accounts for a good deal of what goes wrong with tyres in TW2. It runs straight and quick past the edge of the district towards Hospital Bridge Roundabout, and debris shed by a lorry there lies in the lane long afterwards. Drivers collect something, carry on down Hounslow Road, and find the tyre soft outside the house. That version is simple: the wheel is lifted on the drive and the tyre either mended there or swapped for a new one.

What we do in Whitton
Tyre work in Whitton.
The work is tyres and wheels and nothing besides. New covers arrive in the size already on the car, read off the sidewall marking, budget up to premium, with run-flat, all-season, EV and 4x4 fitments available. A tread puncture is cured from the inner face, to BS AU 159, never with an outside plug. A blowout means a new cover and a careful look at the rim edge before anything is refitted. With the locking key mislaid, the nuts still come away and plain ones take their place. The callout line does not close, weekends included.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Whitton
Drives, bays and car parks.
Driveways take most of it. Second best is a side street off Hounslow Road or Whitton Road where the car can sit still and the fitter can kneel out of the traffic. Parking at Ivybridge Retail Park is public and normally has room at the far end of the rows. The station's own parking is railway land, and what happens on it is the operator's call. Not usable: Chertsey Road, Hospital Bridge Roundabout, or any spot where the car overhangs a bend.
People ring from the streets between Whitton station and The Green, from the Kneller Road and Hospital Bridge Road side, and from the roads running down towards Strawberry Hill and Twickenham. Most have a driveway, which is the whole answer. Where they do not, a quiet residential road with cars parked either side slows everything passing and leaves room to work at the kerb. The one place nothing happens is the A316 itself, roundabouts included: a jacked car there is a hazard to everybody in it. Ivybridge Retail Park is near enough to serve as a rendezvous when the car will still roll. Richmond upon Thames comes under the ULEZ as every London borough does, and a parked car pays nothing under it.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Whitton.
Late calls from TW2 tend to be someone in from a late shift finding the car low on one corner, or a driver who has left the A316 with air going and stopped in the first residential turning. Either is fine. Phone or WhatsApp 07473 720871 and give the road name and the size.

Whitton FAQs
Questions from Whitton.
Can you meet me at Whitton station?
The car park belongs to the railway, so a fitter working in it rests on the operator being happy with that. Many people find it easier to leave the car in a turning off Whitton Road and give us the road and the number of the house you are outside instead.
Which Whitton is this one?
The London one, TW2, in Richmond upon Thames, between Twickenham and Hounslow with the A316 running along one side. Several places share the name across the country, so mention your postcode on the phone and nothing gets mixed up.
A tyre let go on Chertsey Road. Where should I get to?
Off the dual carriageway and onto an ordinary street: Hospital Bridge Road, or one of the turnings off Hounslow Road. A jacked car on the A316 puts everyone in it at risk. Stop somewhere calm, then phone through the size and the street you have ended up in.
My car is on a drive near The Green with a nail in the tyre. What happens?
A drive is the ideal surface. Off comes the wheel, the cover is parted from its rim and read from within. A tread injury within the bounds BS AU 159 sets is patched internally; anything past them and the tyre is renewed instead.
