Tyre calls from Cofton Common are split between commuters and home. With Longbridge station under half a mile off, plenty of people find the flat when they get back to the car, and plenty more on the drive before work. Groveley Lane and Longbridge Lane carry traffic through between the A38 and the A441, and whatever a tyre collects on either tends to show up later. Share the size and the location, and the tyre that turns up will be the right one.

What we do in Cofton Common
Tyre work in Cofton Common.
Cofton Common gets the full set of mobile tyre work. Worn or failed tyres give way to new ones ordered in the car's own size, then fitted and balanced. Most tread punctures can be repaired, and the fitter does it the way BS AU 159 sets out, from inside the tyre after an inspection off the rim. A burst is dealt with by swapping the tyre and checking the rim. A missing locking wheel nut key is solved on the spot. Calls are taken all night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Cofton Common
Drives, bays and car parks.
Drives and quiet kerbs on the B31 streets are the usual working spots. For a car that can still get there, the Sainsbury's car park at Longbridge is close, with the store's agreement, and the M&S car park is another option. Kings Norton Trading Estate has yards that suit a van, so long as the people on site have been told to expect a fitter. Not usable: the carriageway of Groveley Lane, the A441, and any part of the station forecourt.
Most calls come from the houses around Groveley Lane and the streets towards West Heath and Turves Green, all in B31. Cofton Park brings visitors in, and a visitor who returns to a soft tyre can ring from wherever they parked. The Longbridge town centre car parks, including Sainsbury's, M&S and the Town Centre Car Park, are close for a car that still drives. Longbridge station's parking is the railway's business, which is why a road close by tends to be easier. Van drivers ring from Kings Norton Trading Estate. The A441 Redditch Road and Birmingham Road are busy main roads with no room to stand beside a car, so a car that fails there moves first. The city's Clean Air Zone is nowhere near B31.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Cofton Common.
A commuter off a late train into Longbridge, walking back to a car that has sagged on one corner, is a typical night call from Cofton Common. Ring the line and say where the car is, and before the fitter goes you will already know the cost and a realistic time to expect him.

Cofton Common FAQs
Questions from Cofton Common.
Can you fit a tyre near Longbridge station for me?
A residential street near the station is the usual answer, because railway parking is run by the operator and vehicle work there needs their say-so. Move the car to a nearby road in Cofton Common if it is safe to drive, then give the road name when you call.
I parked at Cofton Park and have a flat. Can you come there?
Ring and describe where the car is. If there is room around it and nothing prevents the work, the fitter can deal with it there. If not, the streets off Groveley Lane are close by and usually quieter for changing a wheel.
Do you cover Kings Norton Trading Estate?
Vans and cars on Kings Norton Trading Estate are covered, and a yard with clear ground on all four sides suits best. Get the site's blessing first, then pass on which unit, the plate, and the whole size as printed on the tyre.
Is Cofton Common inside the Birmingham Clean Air Zone?
It is well outside it. The zone applies only within the A4540 Middleway, and B31 is a long way from there. Even inside the zone, a parked car being given a new tyre would not attract the charge, since it is not being driven.
