Service area
N15 service area
Seven Sisters is where the A10 and the A503 cross, and it is busy in every direction at almost every hour.
Working here is about finding somewhere the van can legally stand. Red route restrictions run along the main roads, bus lanes are in force for most of the day, and the side streets are permit-only and full. In practice most jobs happen a street back from wherever the car actually stopped.
The failures are the ordinary urban ones — glass, screws, kerb strikes, and tyres that have simply run out of tread on cars doing high mileage in traffic. Stop-start driving in a district like this wears the front pair far faster than motorway miles ever would.
Tottenham Hale Retail Park at the eastern end has proper parking and space, which makes it one of the easier calls in the area. Middle distance from base.

Red routes and bus lanes
We cannot work from a red route and neither can you sit on one. If a tyre fails on the A10, get into the first side turning that is safe to reach and call from there. If the vehicle genuinely cannot be moved, say so — that is a different job and it is handled differently.
N15: give us the road and the tyre size
Call and tell us where the vehicle is standing and what is on the sidewall. If the size has gone with the tyre, the make, model and year will do. We confirm what we are bringing before the van moves.
