Tyre trouble in Austin Village?

in Austin Village.
In Austin Village a tyre problem is usually discovered outside the house. The streets are quiet, with driveways, and the damage has almost always been done elsewhere, on the A38 Bristol Road South or Longbridge Lane, before the car was parked up. Slow punctures and nails in the tread that let the air go overnight are the usual finds. Tell us the tyre size and which street you live on, and the fitter arrives with the right one.

What we do in Austin Village
Tyre work in Austin Village.
Work done in Austin Village is what a quiet residential street needs. A new tyre is ordered to the sidewall size and fitted outside the house. If a nail or screw has pierced the tread in the repairable area, the tyre is dismounted, looked over inside, and is sealed from the inside to the BS AU 159 specification. When a tyre has been torn apart, the rim gets a look before its replacement goes on. Locking nuts with a lost key are removed. Calls are answered day and night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Austin Village
Drives, bays and car parks.
Your own drive comes first in Austin Village, and a quiet kerb in the same street is the second. Aldi and Sainsbury's in Longbridge town centre give level car park space if the store agrees and the car can get there. For vans, a yard at Frankley Industrial Estate or Arden Business Park works once the site is told. Unusable spots: the A38, Sir Herbert Austin Way, and any street position where the van would block a neighbour's drive.
Calls come from within the village itself and from Turves Green just across the way, as well as from West Heath and Northfield a little further out. The streets are quiet with driveways, which makes most jobs straightforward. Two stations are within reach, Longbridge and Northfield, and commuters are best meeting the fitter in a nearby street rather than on railway land. Longbridge town centre, built on the old works site, has the Sainsbury's and Aldi car parks for a car still able to be driven. The A38 and Sir Herbert Austin Way are far too busy for roadside jacking. The Clean Air Zone is a city-centre scheme and does not reach B31.

Austin Village FAQs
Questions from Austin Village.
Can you do the job outside my house in Austin Village?
Most jobs here happen exactly there, on a drive or at the kerb. The fitter needs enough level space to jack the car and set the wheel down, and the van should not block the road or a neighbour's drive, so mention anything unusual about the spot.
I found a flat at Northfield station. What now?
Station car parks are run by the railway, which limits what can be done there. If the car will roll carefully, move it into a nearby residential street and call from there. If the tyre has come away from the rim, keep the car put and phone for advice instead.
Lost the key for the locking wheel nuts in Austin Village?
That is a routine job. The fitter uses dedicated removal tools designed for the purpose, working to leave the alloy undamaged. Mention the missing key when you ring, along with the car's make and model, so the right kit comes out with the van to Austin Village.
Which postcode is Austin Village?
Austin Village is in B31, the same district as Turves Green next door. Quote the whole postcode along with your door number when you ring, since the fitter navigates by the postcode rather than the village name, and several nearby streets look alike on a map.
