What happens
A repair in Balsall Heath that cannot wait.
Plenty of Balsall Heath punctures can sit until the weekend. Not these: the car is down on Edward Road with children to deliver across the district, a restaurant shift on Ladypool Road starts at noon and the buses on the Moseley Road will not get you there with the stock, or the hospital is expecting you and the boot holds a can of sealant. The puncture is ordinary; the timing makes it urgent, and a kerbside repair this morning beats a garage next week.
A repair price, visit included, is agreed on the phone; if the tyre proves unrepairable a replacement figure is given at the car. Say it is urgent, give the deadline, the street in B12 and the tyre size; the arrival window you get is realistic rather than reassuring. The fitter carries the kit over from where the van stops, removes the wheel, confirms the hole is tiny and well inside the tread, and closes it from inside under BS AU 159 before the wheel goes back on balanced.
If the job turns out to be different, see new tyres fitted, puncture repair or emergency tyre replacement in Balsall Heath.
