A tyre found flat in the Lea Hall station car park, where allowed, in a Garretts Green yard or on a Glebe Farm drive should stay where it's, because the fitter comes to it and decides repair or replacement there.
Kitts Green flats can turn up at the end of the day or the start. A commuter back at Lea Hall station on the Coventry line finds a tyre on its rim in the car park; a van driver at a Garretts Green unit finds one down before the afternoon deliveries; a Tile Cross resident finds one soft at seven. The wrong answer is to nurse it along The Meadway to a garage, which grinds the liner off the inside and turns a patch into a new tyre.
Say where the vehicle is, the bay, the unit or the street, with the registration and sidewall size, and the fitter comes to it. At the vehicle the cause is tracked down, a screw, an offcut from the estate, a weeping valve or a corroded bead seat, and you hear whether it qualifies for a BS AU 159 repair or needs a replacement. The wheel is off and refitted within one visit. Both prices are given on the call.

A Lea Hall station bay away from the drop-off, a Garretts Green yard or the lane in front of it, and home drives or kerbs anywhere from Lea Village to Tile Cross. Not The Meadway, and not the short-stay bays on Kitts Green Road.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Kitts Green page
Spotting a flat on Yardley Road or Wharfdale Road, both carrying the B4146 through Tyseley? First, signal and pull into a quiet street where the car is level. Second, keep passengers on the pavement. Third, check the tyre for a visible object and photograph it with the size code. Send those over and we judge from the pictures which fix looks likely.
Discovering a flat in Kitts Green, first look at the other three, since a Meadway reservation kerb can catch both nearside wheels. Then check the flat one for a screw or swarf in the tread, a bent valve stem, or a kerb scar on the wall. Driving it to a garage along Kitts Green Road or the A45 wrecks it. A space-saver buys a short, slow trip with a speed cap printed on it. Leave it in the Lea Hall station bay, the unit yard or on the drive.

Flat at the station, the unit or the drive, the Kitts Green vehicle stays put and the fitter comes.
