Mobile tyre fitting

A fitter at your car
in Finham.

Most Finham tyre calls begin on the trunk roads wrapped around it. The A46 Kenilworth Bypass, thA45444 towards Festival Island and the A45 Stonebridge Highway all lie within half a mile, and a screw collected on one of them usually lets itself be known overnight, as a tyre visibly lower than its partner by breakfast. Note the sidewall size, text it along with your postcode, and the van leaves north London carrying a matching tyre, so every part of the job happens beside your own front door.

Drives, bays and car parks.

A block-paved or tarmac drive does the job, and so does the apron in front of a garage with room to swing a wheel. A car left on a quiet residential road with a firm kerb is workable too, provided it is not parked across a neighbour's access. Van drivers based on the Stonebridge Trading Estate or at Middlemarch Business Park get their tyre changed in the yard, as long as the gatehouse or office has been warned. The bypass slips, the approaches to St Martin's Roundabout and any grass verge are ruled out.

Finham is almost entirely houses with their own drives, laid out either side of St Martin's Road and Howes Lane, the two B roads that carry traffic between the bypass junctions and the rest of south Coventry. Addresses split between CV3 and CV8 because the suburb runs right up to the Kenilworth side of the boundary, so the whole postcode is worth more to the fitter than a street name. Finham has no public car park or supermarket of its own, which makes the drive the natural place to work, and it is the one most households have anyway. Nobody sets up on the carriageway of St Martin's Road or on the verges by the bypass slips, where a raised car would sit beside moving traffic. Coventry never adopted a clean air charge, so no Finham car owes a penny for being driven, whatever its age.
