Tyre trouble in Fox Hollies?

in Fox Hollies.
Fox Hollies is a place of semis, closes and short avenues, so tyre trouble here tends to be domestic. A slow leak found on a drive off Gospel Lane, a sidewall split against a kerb on a tight corner, a car that went soft on the Outer Circle and limped home. Each of those is sorted out at the house. The size printed on the sidewall and the postcode, B27 or B28, are enough for the matching tyre to travel with the fitter.

What we do in Fox Hollies
Tyre work in Fox Hollies.
Tyres are ordered to the size on the car, in the grade the owner picks, then fitted and balanced beside it. Nails through the tread are judged after dismounting, and a repair is offered only if the damage lands in the zone BS AU 159 permits. Blown tyres give way to new ones, with the rim inspected first. Has the locking nut adaptor vanished from the glovebox? Specialist extractors release it and the job goes on. The line is open all night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Fox Hollies
Drives, bays and car parks.
Driveways cover most of Fox Hollies and give the fitter a flat, private surface to kneel on. A quiet close off Gospel Lane also serves, provided the car sits neatly against the kerb with clearance around the problem tyre. Supermarket car parks are usable once the store is happy for the work to go ahead. Bus stops, the edges of Fox Hollies Road and the junction with the Warwick Road are not, because a lifted car in any of those spots sits right beside moving traffic.
The estate roads between Fox Hollies Road and Gospel Lane produce most of the calls, along with the houses near Olton Boulevard East and the streets running down towards Shaftmoor Lane and Hall Green. Parking is mainly on drives, and where a road is lined with parked cars there is usually kerbside space to work if the car has room on the wheel side. Fox Hollies Road is part of the Outer Circle and a busy bus route, so anything stricken there wants nudging round the corner into a quieter road before anybody kneels by it. Spring Road and Acocks Green stations are close for anybody who drove to catch a train. Shoppers sometimes ring from a supermarket car park such as Morrisons or Lidl, which is workable with the store's agreement. The Clean Air Zone lies inside the Middleway, well away from here.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Fox Hollies.
Fox Hollies rings after dark for two reasons: a tyre nursed home along the Outer Circle that has finally given up, or a flat discovered by an early starter at first light. Somebody answers regardless of the hour, and what it will cost is plain before anyone sets off.

Fox Hollies FAQs
Questions from Fox Hollies.
Do you really come out to Fox Hollies from London?
Fox Hollies is on the patch, although every journey begins at the Brent Cross base and heads up to Birmingham. Ring 07473 720871 and, before you commit to anything, you are told honestly how long the journey is likely to take.
My tyre went flat on Fox Hollies Road. Can you work on the car there?
Not on the Outer Circle itself, where buses and traffic run too close. Drive slowly into the nearest close or side road, park straight, and the tyre gets changed there. If the car cannot be moved safely, put the hazards on, stand well back from the road and call.
Can you fix a slow puncture in B28 rather than sell me a new tyre?
A slow leak caused by a screw near the crown of the tread usually can be mended. The tyre comes off and is inspected inside, then patched and plugged if the damage qualifies. If it sits too near the edge, or the tyre has been run flat, replacing it is the honest answer.
Could a tyre be fitted in the Morrisons car park near Fox Hollies?
Supermarket car parks round here can work if the store raises no objection and the bay leaves clearance by the flat. Mention the row on the phone, and have any locking nut key out of the glovebox ready.
