Dorridge grew up around its railway station, and most tyre calls here start on the B4101, as Station Road or Grange Road. Rescue Tyres turns up with the new tyre at the car itself, on a B93 drive or the long-stay car park.

Tyre trouble in Dorridge?

A slow puncture in Dorridge tends to show itself in the morning, once the car has sat overnight on a drive off Grange Road and the tyre has sagged. Commuters meet the other version: a dashboard pressure alert on the homeward run from the platform, or a flat found in the long-stay car park after the evening train. Either way, note the size moulded into the rubber, pass on the B93 postcode, and the matching tyre goes aboard in north London prior to the trip up.

What we do in Dorridge
Tyre work in Dorridge.
Most Dorridge jobs are a replacement matched to the markings on the old tyre, or a nail pulled out of the tread. A repair is only offered where the puncture falls inside the area BS AU 159 sets out and nothing suggests the car went any distance on it deflated, which is why the tyre is dismounted and looked at from inside first. A blowout means a new tyre then and there. A locking wheel nut minus its key is removed by a method that leaves the alloy intact.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Dorridge
Drives, bays and car parks.
Driveways are the norm across B93, and a fitter is happy on block paving or gravel as long as there is room to walk round the wheel. The Dorridge station long-stay car park works for a commuter whose car has been left there all day: say which row it is in. The Sainsbury's car park is another open surface for a car that still drives. Grange Road outside the shops is not a place to work, with parked cars on one side and B4101 traffic on the other.
People ring from the roads flanking the station, from Bentley Heath and Norton Green, and from Darley Green out towards the lanes and Hockley Heath. Station Road and Grange Road both carry the B4101, and neither leaves room to jack a car at the kerb while traffic squeezes past, so a side street or a drive does the job better. The M42 is close by, with junction 4 at the Monkspath Interchange and junction 5 at Copt Hill beyond Knowle, which makes Dorridge a common place to pull into when a motorway tyre begins to fail. Knowle village is a mile and a half up the road. Solihull runs no clean air scheme, so nothing is payable for driving around B93.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Dorridge.
Night calls to Dorridge come from rail passengers stepping off a late service to a sagging tyre in the long-stay car park, and from motorists who left the M42 at Monkspath with a tyre failing and stopped on the first quiet road. Somebody picks up round the clock, and the charge for tyre plus callout is fixed on that conversation, ahead of the van leaving Brent Cross.

Dorridge FAQs
Questions from Dorridge.
Can a tyre be changed in the long-stay car park at Dorridge station?
That car park is one of the simplest places in the village for it. Leave the car in a normal bay, keep the parking paid up, and send the tyre size and the row. Everything happens in that bay, and the worn casing goes back to London in the van.
My tyre went flat on the M42 by junction 4. Will you come out to the motorway?
The motorway itself is off limits: nobody fits on the hard shoulder, in a refuge or in an emergency area. If the car still rolls, take junction 4 for the Monkspath Interchange, stop on a quiet Dorridge street and ring. Stranded and unable to move? Phone 999 or National Highways on 0300 123 5000 before anything else.
Do you cover Bentley Heath and Norton Green, or only Dorridge itself?
Both are on the round, as are Darley Green and the lanes towards Hockley Heath and Illshaw Heath. B93 spans a wide spread of addresses, so quote the complete postcode, not just the road. Ring or WhatsApp 07473 720871 and give it first.
The tyre pressure warning came on as I reached Dorridge. Is it safe to carry on home?
A pressure warning means at least one tyre has lost air. Stop somewhere safe and look at all four. If one is visibly low, do not drive far on it, because running a tyre underinflated damages the casing. Ring with the size and your B93 postcode instead.
