The work
Seven jobs, and what each one costs in time
Every job below is done at the vehicle. The line under each is the honest one: most of the clock goes on the right size and a safe place to jack, not on the fitting.
New tyres
Most of the visit is the wait on the size, not the irons.
Read morePuncture repair
Finding the hole takes longer than sealing it.
Read moreLocking wheel nuts
With the key it is a short job. Without it, the visit stretches while the nut is drawn off.
Read moreRun-flats
They roll after a puncture. They still need a proper tyre before the next motorway.
Read moreVans
A commercial size is a longer lift, especially on twins.
Read moreJump starts
Cables are quick. A battery that will not hold is a different visit.
Read moreRecovery
The clock is the wait for a bed that fits the vehicle, not a promise in minutes.

A visit
How a fitting usually goes
Send the size
The numbers on the tyre wall, the job, and where the vehicle is. A photo of the sidewall does the same work.
The van comes out from Grays
Along the A13, the A127 or the A12, with the tyre already on the rack. A Lakeside bay and a Tilbury gate are different waits, so say which.
Fitted where it stands
Wheel off, tyre on, nuts torqued. If the spot is a live lane or under a height barrier, the vehicle is moved or recovered instead.
Straight answers
Before you send the message
The four questions that come up most. The rest are on the FAQ page.
Where is the business based?
Grays, RM17. Drivers work the Towns listed on this site from that one yard. There is no second office in Chelmsford, Southend or Colchester, and no page here pretends otherwise.
How long does a fitting take?
The wheel-off, tyre-on part is the short bit. What adds time is confirming the size, finding a bay that will take a jack, or waiting at a port gate. No arrival window is published here because nobody can see the A13 an hour from now.
Can my puncture be repaired?
Often, if the hole is in the tread and the tyre has not been driven flat. A cut in the sidewall or the shoulder, or a run-flat that has carried the car on no air, gets replaced. The van carries both options.
Do you go as far as Colchester or Burnham-on-Crouch?
Yes, and those pages say plainly that they are a long run from Grays. The tyre leaves on the van with the job; nothing is kept in a second store.

What the first message needs
- 1
The size. Three numbers on the tyre wall, such as 205/55 R16.
- 2
The job. Puncture, new tyre, locking nut, van, run-flat, jump start or recovery.
- 3
Where it is. Street, car park, gate or code. The more exact, the less time lost finding it.
- 4
The locking key. If the wheels have one, say where it is — or that it is gone.
Send the size
Four short answers. The size is the one that saves the most time.
