A fitter at your car
in Dudley Priory.
The Priory mixes houses with some of Dudley's busiest visitor traffic, since the zoo, the castle and the Black Country Living Museum sit just down Castle Hill. The A459 at The Broadway and the A4168 Priory Road both run close, and most tyre trouble here comes off them: a nail in the tread, a sidewall scraped on a kerb when parking. Phone, explain which tyre and which street, and the van heads there.

Tyre work in Dudley Priory.
The fitter brings a new tyre in the car's size and fits it at the house or in the visitor bay. A puncture in the tread is inspected inside the tyre with the wheel off, and if BS AU 159 allows it, the hole is sealed with an internal repair. Blowouts mean a fresh tyre and a careful look at the rim. Security bolts whose key never turned up are prised free with a purpose made socket. The phone stays on through the night as well.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
Driveways around the Priory estate give firm, level ground, and most homes here have one. Failing that, the kerb on a residential road off Priory Road serves, so long as the van can stop close by. At the Tower Street car park, a bay is enough room once the ticket is paid. The attraction car parks are possible only with permission, and the A459, the A4168 and Castle Hill are ruled out for any tyre work.
Residents call from the estate roads off Priory Road and The Broadway, and from the streets around Priory Park. Visitors call from the zoo and museum car parks when a tyre gives up at the end of a day out. Those car parks are run by the attractions, so a tyre change there needs their agreement, and a quiet corner is best. The Tower Street car park in the town is public and a good alternative. The Castle Hill and Tipton Road stretch carries heavy traffic, with the Castle Gate Island and the A461 below, and no tyre work happens on any of them. Tipton station is the nearest railway station, a little way to the north east, if someone is meeting a commuter.

24 hours in Dudley Priory.
Evening and night calls from the Priory tend to come from residents who find a flat when going out early, and from visitors heading home after a late event near the castle. The phone is answered, and nobody drives over until the charge and a believable time for the van to turn up have both been settled.
