Emergency fitting in Small Heath
The workshop comes to Small Heath.
An emergency fitting is a full tyre change done without a workshop. The van brings a machine that pushes the old bead off the rim and seats the new tyre, a balancer powered from the van, an air line, a calibrated torque wrench and a stock of everyday sizes. That means a Somerville Road terrace, a yard behind the Coventry Road shops or the Small Heath Park car park becomes the bay, and the car never joins the Highway traffic on a bad tyre.
Tell us where the car is and send the sidewall size. If the van cannot pull alongside on a packed terrace, the fitter carries the kit along the pavement to the car. Wheel removed, worn tyre prised off, the new one mounted, inflated and spun on the balancer, then the wheel returns and each nut is torqued. The worn tyre leaves in the van, and the price was fixed on the call.
