When a Longbridge tyre is past saving, split by a works site kerb or bulged on Lickey Road, the right size can come out to the car the same day and the other three are checked.
Not every Longbridge tyre is patchable. A sidewall opened on the new kerbs across the works site, a bulge from the potholes on the Lickey Road bends, a puncture in the shoulder, or a tyre that was driven flat from the A38 to Austin Village: all of these are replacements. When the car is needed for a shift, a train from Longbridge station cannot be missed, or there are children to collect, the answer has to be a new tyre today, fitted where the car is.
Read every character off the sidewall, including the load index and speed letter, and give the street in B31 or B45. We confirm whether the size is available that day and give tyre plus visit as a single figure before the van sets off. The fitter mounts and balances it at the car, torques the wheel, checks the other tyres for the same damage and removes the old one. If a rare size has to be ordered, you are told that straight away.
If the job turns out to be different, see burst tyre replacement, van tyre fitting or 24 hour tyre repair in Longbridge.
Rednal, Austin Village, the works site estate roads, the park-and-ride at the station and the surface car parks by the shops, where the operator allows it, are all fine. The A38 dual carriageway and any M5 hard shoulder are excluded; get off the road first.

Emergency tyre replacement explained →Emergency tyre replacement on the Longbridge page
A replacement near Longbridge might begin on Shenley Lane or Middleton Hall Road, which both carry the B4121. Find a spot clear of the bus stops, ideally a street in Shenley Green, and read the size printed on the sidewall. With that size, the road reference and a landmark, the fitter brings a suitable tyre and swaps it there.
A Longbridge replacement is right first time when the call carries every sidewall detail, the size plus its load and speed code, and any XL stamp or run-flat mark. The axle partner matters too, so note its brand and tread. The stock question you will be asked is simple: exact make only, or the nearest equivalent in that size and rating if that is what the van holds? Room for the van beside the car comes easily on an Austin Village drive or in a park-and-ride bay.
