What happens
Beyond repair in Hall Green and the car is needed now.
Repair is off the table when the sidewall is split from a kerb at a Stratford Road lay-by, when a tyre has been driven flat from Yardley Wood to Highfield, or when the hole is too near the edge to patch. A Hall Green driver with a job to get to or a child to collect from school does not have time for a depot queue. The replacement has to come to the drive, and the size has to be correct first time.
Text the tyre code with a photo of the damage. The fitter replies with the choice in that size, one total, and an honest estimate of the journey from Brent Cross to B28. Then the visit: new tyre fitted, balanced and torqued on the drive, a quick pressure and tread check on the remaining three, the old tyre loaded into the van. The car is ready to leave the drive as soon as the van does.
The same Brent Cross team also handles burst tyre replacement and flat tyre help in Hall Green, booked on the same call.
