N5 service area
Four places in a very small district, all of them within walking distance of each other and all of them permit-parked.
Highbury Fields is the open ground and the roads around it are Georgian and Victorian terraces with narrow bays and high kerbs. Wheels get scuffed reversing into spaces that are barely longer than the car.
Drayton Park and the streets by the stadium are quiet most of the week and impassable on a match day. That is worth saying plainly rather than pretending it makes no difference.
The practical constraint in N5 is space, not difficulty. Nearly every job is at the kerb with cars in front and behind, so we will often ask you to move the vehicle a length before anything gets lifted.

Kerbed reversing into a tight bay
Damage from reversing goes into the rear wheels, which are the ones nobody inspects. Once a season, turn the car so you can see the rear inner shoulders, or ask us to look while we are there for something else. It costs nothing and it is where the surprises live.
N5: 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.
