Tyre trouble in Fox & Goose?

in Fox & Goose.
The crossroads here is one of the busiest points on the Outer Circle, and plenty of tyre trouble begins with a car coming off the M6 at Castle Bromwich and heading this way. A slow puncture picked up on the motorway or the A4040 often shows itself as the driver pulls in at the shops. Parking up and calling is the right move. The fitter arrives, checks whether the tyre can be repaired, and if not fits a new one on the spot.

What we do in Fox & Goose
Tyre work in Fox & Goose.
Work at the Fox and Goose covers the full set. A replacement is chosen to match the tyre already fitted, then mounted and balanced wherever the car is waiting. Screws and nails are judged with the tyre dismounted; damage inside the repairable area that BS AU 159 defines is plugged and patched, and anything outside it means a new tyre. Blowouts mean a rim inspection and then a fresh tyre. Missing locking nut keys are handled too, day and night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Fox & Goose
Drives, bays and car parks.
A supermarket bay close to the crossroads is the obvious place when a tyre goes down on the way to the shops, assuming the store does not mind and you pick a bay well clear of the doors. At home in B8, B36 or B34, a driveway or a quiet side road is best. Vans are easiest in a yard at the Fort Industrial Park. The crossroads, the bus stops along Washwood Heath Road and any spot on the Outer Circle carriageway are not usable.
Calls around the Fox and Goose come from shoppers at the Tesco and the Aldi, from drivers on the A4040 Outer Circle, and from homes on the roads branching off it towards Hodge Hill and Ward End. The crossroads itself is off limits for any work, as are Stechford Lane and Bromford Lane close to the junction, because traffic crowds every lane. Supermarket parking is usually the handiest spot if the car can reach it. Trade vans come from the Leviss Trading Estate and Fort Industrial Park. Junction 5 of the M6, the Castle Bromwich Interchange, is within a couple of miles: nobody fits tyres on the motorway, so leave at the junction and stop somewhere safe first. The Clean Air Zone is far off inside the Middleway.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Fox & Goose.
A good share of late callers here left the M6 at Castle Bromwich with a tyre losing air and nursed it to the Fox and Goose. If the car is stuck on the motorway, the calls to make are 999 or National Highways on 0300 123 5000. Once it is off and parked, ring us and settle the price before the fitter sets off.

Fox & Goose FAQs
Questions from Fox & Goose.
Can you reach my car on the M6 by Castle Bromwich with a puncture?
Only after it has left the M6. Rescue Tyres will not send anyone to a hard shoulder, and emergency areas are ruled out as well. Come off at junction 5 if the car still drives and pull in near the Fox and Goose. Stranded and unable to move? Dial 999 or National Highways, 0300 123 5000.
Can a tyre be fitted in the Tesco car park at the Fox and Goose?
A supermarket car park is usually fine for a car that can still drive in. Choose a bay on the edge, away from the trolleys and the entrance, and let the fitter know the row. It is polite to tell the store if the car will be there a while.
Is the Fox and Goose in Hodge Hill or Ward End?
It sits where the two meet, with the B8, B36 and B34 postcodes all close by. That is why the full postcode matters when you book: it tells the fitter exactly which side of the crossroads the car is on before the van leaves.
Do you fit van tyres at the Leviss Trading Estate?
Commercial tyres are matched to the load index and size moulded into each sidewall, and a firm estate yard suits the fitting well. Give the unit or gate number and say whether the van can be shunted away from the loading bays first.
