Mobile tyre fitting
in Chapelfields.
Chapelfields lies just outside the Coventry ring road, between Hearsall Common and Allesley Old Road. the Rescue Tyres fitter arrives at the car with its replacement already loaded, whether it is parked on a CV5 street or near Coventry station.

Living this close to the A4053 shapes the tyre trouble in Chapelfields. Ringway Rudge and Ringway Queens feed traffic on and off at short slips, and a kerb clipped at one of those merges can leave a bulge in the sidewall that is easy to miss. The B4101 across Hearsall Common and the B4107 up Earlsdon Avenue North carry the everyday traffic. A photo of the damage, texted with the sidewall size, lets the fitter say on the call whether it looks like a repair or a new tyre.

Tyre work in Chapelfields.
Chapelfields jobs are mostly the ordinary kind. Replacement tyres are mounted kerbside, spun on the van's balancer and tightened to the maker's torque setting. For a tread puncture the casing is lifted clear of the rim and examined from the inside, and if the damage sits within the limits of BS AU 159 it is plugged and patched from within. Bursts are replaced once the wheel has been checked for a bent rim. Keyless locking nuts are removed with the proper socket, and somebody mans the phone around the clock.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
A drive or a quiet stretch of kerb is where most of the work gets done. Should the car be driveable, the Warwick Street Public Car Park and the Queens Road Public Car Park are public options near the centre, and the Alvis Retail Car Park has space away from the main road. A multi-storey deck is no good, because there is not room to lift a car safely between the lanes. The grass of Hearsall Common is not a working surface either.
People ring from the streets between Hearsall Lane and Allesley Old Road, from Queensland Avenue and Four Pounds Avenue, and from the Earlsdon side where the two neighbourhoods run into each other. Holyhead Road runs along one edge. A car kept on the street is no obstacle, as long as there is a stretch of kerb where the fitter can stand clear of passing traffic. The slips and carriageway of the ring road are no place to stop, so a tyre that goes on Ringway Rudge means driving gently off it before anything else happens. Parking inside the loop is mostly multi-storeys and permit streets, and a car cannot be lifted safely in a multi-storey lane. Postcodes are CV5 here, with CV1 closer to the centre.
