Great service, very professional approach. I will recommend it to anyone who need to service their car rather than going to dealership.
Looking for a tyres Croydon inspection? Smith’s of London has you covered.
Your vehicle’s tyres play a crucial role in maintaining a safe connection between your car and the road, keeping you safe as you drive. Worn or poorly maintained tyres can negatively affect your safety and your car’s overall performance.
As tread depth decreases, the tyres lose their ability to grip the road effectively. This can result in increased stopping distances, reduced traction, and a higher chance of skidding or aquaplaning.
Additionally, tyres in poor condition are more likely to suffer from punctures or blowouts, which is the last thing you need as you’re driving.
At Smith’s of London, our team of experts has extensive experience working with all makes and models. We have the skills and expertise to thoroughly check the condition of your vehicle’s tyres and replace them if needed.
Call Smith’s of London today for all your tyres Croydon needs.
What are the minimum tread requirements? And how do I measure this?
In the UK, the law requires tyres to have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm. While a tread gauge is the most accurate way to measure this, the 20p coin test is a simple alternative.
Place a 20p coin into the part of your tyre with the lowest tread depth. If you can see the outer rim of the coin, it’s time to have your tyres inspected immediately.
Driving with tyres that don’t meet the legal tread depth is dangerous and illegal.
To avoid fines and remain safe on the road, call Smith’s of London today for all your tyres Croydon needs.
I can't find my locking wheel nut, what should I do?
If you misplaced your wheel nut key, don’t panic; our experts can help.
Using specialised tools and techniques, we can safely remove the locking wheel nuts without causing any damage to your vehicle.
Contact Smith’s of London today, and our experts will take care of it for you.
I've damaged my wheel. Can you fix it?
At Smith’s of London, our experienced technicians can repair most types of wheel damage.
However, if the damage is too severe to fix, we’ll help you find the best alternatives to ensure your vehicle stays safe and roadworthy.
Contact our team today to book your car tyres assessment.
How to check your tyre pressure?
Start by finding your vehicle’s recommended tyre pressure. This information is usually located inside the driver’s door frame or inside the fuel cap.
Next, remove the dust caps from each tyre. Attach your pressure gauge to the tyre valve to check the current pressure.
Compare the reading to your vehicle’s recommended levels. If the pressure is too low, adjust the settings on the air machine and inflate the tyres to the correct level.

Full service/MOT carried out
Darren called and emailed to discuss some items discovered on health check which I was unaware of, 2 of which were safety related
They quoted for the work which I accepted and was pleasantly surprised when the bill was reduced because the items took less time than anticipated. Nice to see fairness these days, very rare.

I had been Liam’s customer for 3 years to service my DS3 and later Suzuki Swift, and have been very impressed by their efficiency, transparency and passion on the cars. The first time I came for an MOT and service Liam made a video on the underside of the car explaining what his concerns are. I never had that before and it really added my confidence in the transparency. I can’t recommend... Read More

Another thoroughly efficient and professional procedure.

We have only great things to say about Smith's of London. Liam is always extremely helpful and is always very honest with you. Just wondering if they are ever going to reopen as it would be a shame to lose such a wonderful car garage service centre in London.

Dissatisfied with the major service done on my car - 2006 Clio - I sought a second opinion.

Wonderful team and excellent service at Smith's. Fixed the aircon (diagnosis, new condenser and replaced o-rings) for much cheaper than one of the big chain garages quoted. Felt very transparent as they talked me through the process, and kept me updated with progress along the way.
Will return for future MOTs and services. -
Smith’s of London is the best mot and service garage I have ever used.
I have been with them two years now for mot and services and other problems with my car.
They are so helpful with advice and they do not do any work until I receive a breakdown of work to be done and cost.
I will be using these guys for every car issue I have, trust them completely. Told friends and... Read More -
The high rating is not a coincidence. Clear communication, excellent diagnostics and so generous with their time. Really can't speak highly enough of Liam and the team. Won't be using another garage in London if I can help it.
