A fitter at your car
in Cradley.
Two kinds of call come out of Cradley. From the housing off Colley Lane and Park Lane it is a slow leak or a kerbed sidewall, found on the drive before work. From the units down by the river it is a van that has picked up swarf or a screw in a yard and has a delivery waiting. Both are handled where the vehicle stands. Share the sidewall size and postcode, and a matching tyre rides up from north London with the fitter.

Tyre work in Cradley.
In Cradley the fitter carries what the job needs. A new tyre is sourced to the sidewall markings, then fitted and balanced at home. A screw lodged in the tread of a van from the business park is looked at from inside the casing, and if it sits within the zone BS AU 159 allows, it is plugged and patched there instead of the tyre being scrapped. Blown tyres are replaced after the fitter has looked the rim over. For a lost locking key, an extractor comes out, never a drill. The callout line is staffed round the clock.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
A drive off Colley Lane or Park Lane is the ideal spot, flat and out of the traffic. Estate yards come next: Cradley Business Park and Lodge Forge both have hardstanding where a wheel can come off a van without anyone squeezing past, provided the unit or site manager is told first. A legal spot in a residential street will also serve. The A458 at Windmill Hill or Drews Holloway, and any estate gateway that lorries need, are not usable.
Most Cradley callers live in the streets running between the B4173 Colley Lane and the B4174 Park Lane, or around Nether End and Windmill Hill, where a driveway is often available. The rest are at work. Cradley Business Park, the Lodge Forge Industrial Estate and the Hayes Trading Estate sit down in the Stour valley, with yards where a van can be jacked on level ground once the site agrees. The A458 through Colley Gate and on to The Hayes carries the through traffic, so nobody sets up at its kerb. Cradley has no public car park worth sending you to, which is why the drive or the yard comes first. With no clean-air scheme anywhere in Dudley borough, an older diesel draws no charge here.
