Does E8 mean you will arrive in a fixed number of minutes?

No. Traffic in east London, and how far the technician has to travel, set the time for E8. We tell you that time before you accept it.

What should I say when I call from E8?

Say the street in London Fields, the code E8, what the tyre looks like, and whether you have the locking wheel nut key. A photo helps if you can take one safely.

Can every flat tyre in E8 be repaired on the street?

No. A repair in E8 is only suitable when the damage is in the central tread and the tyre can come off the wheel for an internal patch. Sidewall cuts in London Fields are replacements.

One axle, not one corner

If the other tyre on the same axle in London Fields is much more worn, a single new tyre can upset braking in the wet. We will say so before you pay. The speed and load codes on the sidewall have to match what the car was given. E8 does not change the axle. It only changes the drive.
