Mobile tyre fitting
in Fordbridge.

A fitter at your car
in Fordbridge.

Fordbridge mixes homes with working ground, and the working ground produces tyre problems of its own. Screws, broken fixings and swarf on the yards of Waterloo Industrial Estate and Griffin Business Park end up in van tyres, which then lose pressure slowly over a shift. Birmingham Road and the A452 Chester Road take most of the traffic in and out. Give the unit, the full size including the load index, and whether the van is still driveable, and the correct tyre is loaded.

Drives, bays and car parks.

An industrial yard is ideal when the business agrees: it is level, wide and away from passing traffic. Park the van where it will not block loading doors or forklift routes. At home, a driveway or the kerb in front of the house does the job. The supermarket car parks nearby can be used with the store's permission. Birmingham Road and the A452 Chester Road are no good for lifting a vehicle, so turn off into a side road first.

Fordbridge calls split two ways. On Waterloo Industrial Estate, Griffin Business Park and Ace Business Park, firms ring about vans, pickups and staff cars standing in their yards. Residents in the streets towards Kingshurst and Bacon's End ring about the family car on the drive. Both are straightforward. An estate yard is private land, so the fitter needs the site's permission before starting there, and a loading bay in use is off limits. On the residential side, drives and unrestricted kerbs make most jobs simple, and a car parked across a neighbour's dropped kerb just needs nudging along first. Fordbridge falls within Solihull, well clear of the Birmingham zone, so there is no clean air fee for any vehicle here.
