How the job is done
A repair in Great Barr that cannot wait.
Some Great Barr punctures can wait until the weekend and some cannot. A nurse due at a hospital across the city, a parent with two drop-offs and a Newton Road commute, a tradesman whose van is full of the day's materials and now sits on a Queslett avenue with a soft tyre. The screw from the parade is the same screw; the difference is that the car has to move today, and driving it to a garage on the A34 would ruin the tyre.
Mention the deadline and say where the car is when you ring, and the job is moved up the fitter's route through B43, B42 and B44 if the diary allows. On the avenue the tyre is dismounted, the hole checked against the repair rules, and the patch-plug goes in if it passes. If it fails, a replacement is fitted instead and you hear that cost first. There is one figure, agreed on the phone, and a realistic arrival time given with it.
Other jobs we do at the car include new tyres fitted in Great Barr and van tyre fitting in Great Barr.
