How the job is done
Beyond repair in Solihull and the car is needed now.
A shoulder puncture from a Hampton-in-Arden pothole, a sidewall opened on a Dorridge lane kerb, a run-flat driven too far along the A45, a tyre run soft down the A41 bypass until the liner shredded: none of these is coming back. And the car has a job to do, whether that is the M42 to work, a flight from Birmingham Airport at junction 6 or a hospital appointment. In Solihull the replacement comes to the car, because driving to a depot on that tyre is not an option.
What the call needs is the entire code off the sidewall, including load index and speed letter, a note if it is a run-flat, and the car's location. Stock is checked while you are on the line, the tyre and the callout are quoted as one total, and the arrival estimate given is a truthful one. Fitted and balanced on the drive or in the bay, nuts torqued, the fitter then looks over the remaining tyres and the spare so nothing else lets go on the Stratford Road next week.
The same Brent Cross team also handles burst tyre replacement in Solihull and flat tyre help in Solihull, booked on the same call.
