At the car
Beyond repair in Ladywood and the car is needed now.
Past saving, in Ladywood, means a tyre run flat from Five Ways back to the estate, a sidewall opened up by a Hagley Road pothole, or an inside edge worn down to fabric by years of Reservoir kerb parking. If the car is a taxi working Broad Street tonight or the school run from Spring Hill tomorrow, waiting is not possible. The fitter needs the size from the sidewall, and common sizes are often on the van.
Text the full code, the car park or street, and which wheel. The fitter reaches B16 or B1 with the tyre, gets the dead one off, fits the new one, balances it and torques the wheel. Before leaving the bay the other three are checked for tread depth and pressure, since a car that has just shed one tyre in Ladywood tends to have another close behind. The old casing leaves in the van, and the price agreed on the call is the price at the car.
You can book burst tyre replacement or puncture repair in Ladywood on the same call.
