Mobile tyre fitting
in Finchfield.

A fitter at your car
in Finchfield.

Finchfield sits between two busy corridors. The A454 Compton Road West takes traffic towards Compton and the city, and the B4161 links Finchfield Hill with Broad Lane and Penn. A stray screw from either one can end up in a tyre, and a clipped kerb at a junction can bruise a sidewall. Usually the outcome is a Finchfield car sitting on its drive, one tyre sagging. The fitter brings a replacement in the correct size, or repairs the old one where the damage allows.

Drives, bays and car parks.

Home driveways are the standard here, and almost every job happens on one. A side street off Finchfield Hill with the car parked neatly at the kerb is the backup. Shop car parks can be used if the store is agreeable and the bay is out of the way of other drivers. The A454 and the B4161 carriageways are never used, whatever the time of day or night, and nor is a grass verge or a pavement.

Calls in Finchfield come from both postcode districts, WV3 on the side nearer Penn and WV6 towards Tettenhall and Tettenhall Wood. Most Finchfield homes have a drive, which is where the tyre gets swapped. Compton Road West and Compton Road form the A454, a trunk road heading into the city, so their kerbs are ruled out for any wheel work. Finchfield Hill is the same story on a smaller scale: it is the B4161 through the middle of the suburb, and a jacked car there sits too close to passing traffic. Side streets are the answer when there is no drive. If the car is still happy to move, the Lidl and Co-op Food are the nearest shop car parks, though a level drive at home beats either of them.
