Mobile tyre fitting

A fitter at your car
in Castle Vale.

Castle Vale tyre damage comes from two directions. Heavy traffic circles the estate on Kingsbury Road, the A38, and on Chester Road, the A452, and the Tyburn House Island and Spitfire Island junctions leave debris in the lanes. Inside the estate, tight corners and raised kerbs catch low-profile sidewalls. Either way the tyre tends to give up in a Castle Vale court rather than out on the road. Quote the size and the block, and a replacement is aboard when the van pulls in.

Drives, bays and car parks.

Driveways and the parking courts behind the blocks are the normal places to work on the estate, on level ground with room to lift the car. Castle Vale Retail Park and Ravenside Retail Park have large public car parks, worth using if the Castle Vale car can manage the short trip at a crawl. Yards on Castle Vale Enterprise Park work for vans with the owner's permission. The island junctions and the A38 carriageway are never an option, however close they are to home.

Calls come from across the estate: households with parking courts behind the blocks, cars on driveways and vans at Castle Vale Enterprise Park. The shared courts are fine to work in provided the raised car leaves a way out for everyone else. Kingsbury Road and Chester Road offer nowhere safe to stop, so a car that fails on either should come off into the estate. The M6 is a firm no: nobody is sent onto the motorway, its slip roads or the hard shoulder near junction 5. If the car still drives, take junction 5 off; if it is stranded, dial 999 or National Highways on 0300 123 5000, let recovery take it somewhere safe, and then call. No Clean Air Zone charge reaches B35; that scheme stays inside the Middleway.
