Found a tyre flat on your Shard End Crescent drive or at the kerb on Heathway? Leave the car exactly there and the fitter comes to it, finds the leak and repairs or replaces the tyre there.
People drive out of Shard End rather than through it, so a flat can be found before the journey starts: a car on its rim outside a house on Packington Avenue at seven, or one low on a corner after a night parked by the Shard End Crescent shops. The mistake is heading for the Chester Road to find a garage. A tyre driven flat even to the edge of the estate has had its liner scoured off and its sidewall crushed, and a repairable puncture becomes a replacement.
Give the crescent or close, the registration and the sidewall size, and say drive or kerb. At the car the fitter reinflates and listens, or strips the tyre if nothing is obvious, and finds the nail, the corroded rim seat or the tired valve. A tread hole inside BS AU 159 limits is patched from within; anything at the sidewall or a damaged wheel seat means a new tyre fitted on the spot. You get both prices on the call so nothing surprises you on the drive.
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 Shard End as well.
Other jobs we do at the car include broken tyre replacement in Shard End and puncture repair in Shard End.
Any drive or unrestricted kerb across the Shard End estate, the Heathway streets, the Tile Cross border and the closes off Cole Hall Lane, or a daytime spot in the country park car park. The bays by the crescent shops are for shopping, not fitting.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Shard End page
A flat on Coleshill Road (B4114), Hall Road (B4118) or Water Orton Road calls for a few calm steps: indicate, turn into a side street, stop on level ground and switch off. Do not drive on the rim to reach home. Walk round the car, look for a visible nail, and message us a photo with the road name; we confirm the likely fix and price before setting out.
Before ringing about a flat on a Shard End drive, look at the other three tyres, since a Cole Hall Lane pothole seldom picks just one. Then examine the deflated tyre for a nail among the tread blocks, a loose or split valve, and a kerb gouge from a tight close. Nobody should drive it to a Chester Road garage. The space-saver is meant for brief, gentle journeys under the limit printed on its wheel. The drive or an unrestricted estate kerb is the place to leave it.

"From start to finish, Hiwad was incredibly professional and helpful."
"Absolutely amazing service. First call-out for a replacement tyre after hours and I was amazed."
Flat on the crescent or Heathway, the Shard End car stays put and the fitter comes.
