A flat tyre found on a Moseley street at breakfast is not a reason to limp to a garage. Leave it on Church Road or in the Highbury Park car park and call.
Flats in Moseley are usually discovered, not felt: the car spent the night on Chantry Road and one corner is down by morning, or you return to the Highbury Park car park after a walk and find the tyre on the rim. A slow leak from something collected on the Alcester Road, a valve gone brittle, or a bead knocked loose by a kerb all look identical from the pavement. What they share is that driving on them turns a repair into a replacement.
Tell the fitter where the car is, what size is on the sidewall and whether you heard or felt anything before it went down. The tyre is pumped up beside the car and watched for the leak, then taken off the rim if there is a hole. A repairable puncture is patched from inside; a split, a bulge or a leak at the sidewall means a new tyre goes on. Either way the figure is agreed on the phone and the decision is made beside the wheel.
On run-flat tyres? They behave differently once deflated, so check the handbook's limits and read our page on run-flat tyres; we fit replacement run-flat tyres at the car in Moseley as well.
Other jobs we do at the car include broken tyre replacement in Moseley and 24 hour tyre repair.
Any Moseley drive, the streets around Moseley Park and Pool, the council car parks at Highbury Park while it is light, and side streets off the Alcester Road. Moseley Bog's lanes are too narrow, so a nearby residential road is better.

Flat on Swanshurst Lane or School Road? Both carry the B4146, so the first few moments matter: signal early, lose speed gently and tuck into the closest side street, perhaps towards Yardley Wood station, instead of halting in the flow. Leave the wheel alone if the nuts are tight or the jack is missing. Note which road you turned off and what is nearby, then call or message 07473 720871.
The morning a Moseley car is found sitting on one rim, give all four corners a look before phoning, since one clumsy kerb on Chantry Road can hurt two wheels together. On the deflated tyre, search for the glint of a nail, feel whether the valve wobbles, and scan the sidewall for a white scuff. Resist nursing it to a garage down the Alcester Road. A space-saver, if the boot has one, is a slow, short-hop wheel only, so staying put is usually the wiser call.
