A tyre found flat after a late film at Star City or on a van in a Nechells yard stays where it is. Send where it is and the size, and the fitter decides repair or replacement.
Nechells flats are found at the vehicle: leaving Star City after midnight, arriving at a unit off Heartlands Parkway in the morning, or stepping out on a Nechells Green street. The mistake is driving to a garage on a tyre with no air in it, even the length of the yard, because the rim crushes the sidewall on every turn and a repairable metal puncture becomes a replacement. Stay in the bay or the yard and let the fitter come.
Send the street, unit or car park entrance, the sidewall code and whether the flat wheel can be reached. The fitter comes to B7 and inflates the tyre to see where it is losing air, then takes it off the rim for a look inside. A tread puncture that meets BS AU 159 gets patched, a leaking valve gets replaced, and a tyre with sidewall damage gets swapped for one from the van. Both possible costs are given on the call, so the verdict at the vehicle brings no surprise.
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 Nechells as well.

Wherever the vehicle stopped legally: a Star City bay, a Duddeston or Nechells Green street with unrestricted kerbs, or a unit yard with permission. The parkways have no verge and the Expressway no hard shoulder, so neither counts.

Caught with a flat on Cuckoo Road (B4137) or Fort Parkway (A47)? Indicate early and turn into a residential street near Moor End Green instead of halting on the dual carriageway. Hazards on, stand well away from traffic, and phone us; name the road and the flat corner. Every extra mile on a flat makes a repair less likely.
Found a flat on a Nechells vehicle? Walk round and check the others, then examine the flat tyre for a screw, a leaking valve or a gouge from a kerb on the estate. Driving it to a garage, even along Nechells Parkway, grinds the sidewall until no patch could save it. Any skinny spare in the boot is a get-you-home crutch at modest speed, nothing more. Leave it on the Nechells Green street, the Star City bay or the unit yard where it was found, and call.
