The A452 is the road most people here use to reach Kenilworth, and it is where a tyre usually picks up the screw that shows as a soft wheel the next morning. Balsall Street, Alder Lane and Waste Lane carry the B4101 through the village and out into open country towards Knowle and Burton Green. Send the sidewall size and your CV7 postcode, and the fitter loads the correct tyre before leaving north London, so there is no second trip.

What we do in Balsall Common
Tyre work in Balsall Common.
Tyre choice for Balsall Common runs across budget, mid-range and premium brands, ordered to the exact sidewall size: winter and all-season patterns, EV and performance sizes, van and 4x4 fitments, and run-flats all included. Fitting and balancing kit rides in the van, so the new tyre is mounted and spun true on the drive. A tread puncture gets an internal patch repair to BS AU 159 if the hole is somewhere that standard permits. Blowouts get swapped, a missing locking nut key is sorted, and calls are taken around the clock.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Balsall Common
Drives, bays and car parks.
A driveway is where most jobs here are done, whatever the surface, as long as the car is not wedged tight against a garage door. Balsall Common Library parking and the Aldi car park are both open enough to meet at, provided the car can reach them without running on the rim. The church car park is private and not somewhere to arrange a fitting. The A452 carriageway and the tighter stretches of Waste Lane are ruled out, since a raised car there would be parked in moving traffic.
Phone calls arrive from the housing each side of Kenilworth Road, from Kelsey Lane and the streets towards Berkswell station, and from the houses scattered along Waste Lane. Most of them end on a driveway, which is the best outcome for everyone. The A452 through the village is busy, so a car that has pulled up on it with a flat is better driven slowly into a side road before the jack goes under it. The library car park and the Aldi and Co-op car parks give open ground if the car can still be coaxed a few hundred yards. Temple Balsall, Barston and Bradnock's Marsh sit on the same round. Balsall Common belongs to Solihull, and Solihull charges nothing for clean air.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Balsall Common.
Once it is dark, calls tend to come from drivers on the A452 who heard a tyre start to flap and turned into the village, and from households who discover a flat while setting off before sunrise. Every hour of the night is covered, and the total for the visit and the tyre is agreed with you before the van moves.

Balsall Common FAQs
Questions from Balsall Common.
Can you fit a tyre in the Aldi car park in Balsall Common?
Aldi is fine as a meeting point, so long as the short hop there will not wreck the wheel. Choose an outer bay rather than one by the doors, and send the row and the tyre size. The fitter does the work at the car and takes the old tyre away afterwards.
Does Balsall Common count as Solihull or Coventry for your service?
It is in the borough of Solihull and uses CV7 postcodes, which is why people sometimes assume Coventry. It makes no difference to the visit. The fitter drives up from north London either way, and the first conversation settles a realistic time for the fitter's arrival.
Do you cover Temple Balsall and Barston as well as the village?
Both are on the same round, as are Bradnock's Marsh and the houses out along Waste Lane. On the lanes the fitter needs a gateway, a drive or a verge wide enough to stand clear of passing cars, so say which of those you have when you call.
Can a winter or all-season tyre be brought out to Balsall Common?
It can, once the size and load rating have been read off the sidewall so the right one is ordered. Some drivers prefer all-season tyres for country lanes through the colder months. Fitting them in pairs on the same axle is the sensible rule.
