Tyre trouble in Hawkesley?

Two kinds of call come from Hawkesley. The first is local: a screw from Redditch Road or the trading estate found on a drive, or a sidewall caught on an estate kerb. The second arrives off the M42, from drivers who felt a tyre go and took the junction 2 exit towards Hopwood before stopping. Both are handled at the car. Read the size off the tyre, say whether it is still holding air, and give the postcode, and the fitter brings a matching tyre.

What we do in Hawkesley
Tyre work in Hawkesley.
A new tyre is ordered in the size shown on your sidewall, and it is mounted and balanced on the Hawkesley drive. Punctures across the middle of the tread are checked from inside the casing and mended to BS AU 159 with a plug and patch. A burst on the A441 or the M42 is replaced once the car is somewhere safe and the rim has been inspected. Lost or broken locking nut keys are dealt with using proper removal tools.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Hawkesley
Drives, bays and car parks.
A Hawkesley driveway is ideal, and the estate has many. Legal kerbside parking on an estate road is the next best, with space beside the flat tyre. Hopwood Park services at M42 J2 suits a motorway driver who has made it off the carriageway into a parking space. A yard on the Kings Norton Trading Estate is fine with permission. The A441 Redditch Road itself, and any hard shoulder or emergency area, are never used.
Most Hawkesley calls come from the estate roads, where driveways and wider kerbs make the job straightforward, and from houses along the Redditch Road edge. Walkers Heath and Kings Norton village are close by, and the Kings Norton Trading Estate brings working vans with it. The A441 is the problem road: it is busy, carries buses and has little verge, so a tyre that fails on it should be taken into the first estate road rather than changed at the roadside. The motorway is a firmer line still. On the M42 there is never any tyre work on a hard shoulder, a live lane or an emergency area; the driver leaves at J2 for Hopwood Park services or a side road, and if the car cannot move, calls 999 or National Highways on 0300 123 5000 to be recovered.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Hawkesley.
Night calls from Hawkesley come from residents with a flat before an early start, and from motorway drivers who came off at J2 with a failing tyre. Whichever it is, the call gets answered, the location confirmed as safe, and the price agreed before the van leaves Brent Cross.

Hawkesley FAQs
Questions from Hawkesley.
A tyre has failed on the M42 by Hopwood. Will you come out?
Not on the motorway itself. Leave at J2 and pull into Hopwood Park services or a side road, then call us. If the car cannot be moved, call 999 or National Highways on 0300 123 5000 and wait to be towed clear, and the fitter comes to wherever the recovery truck leaves you.
Can you fit a tyre on a Hawkesley estate road?
The estate roads usually suit a mobile fit well, especially where there is a driveway. If the car is at the kerb, it should be legally parked with room on the flat side. Give the full B38 postcode so the fitter lands on the right street.
I have a flat on Redditch Road in Hawkesley. What should I do?
Get off the A441 into the nearest estate road if the car can be driven slowly and safely, then park and call. A slow leak can reach a side street, but a tyre that has burst should not be driven, so stop where it is safe and ring for help.
Is a keyless locking wheel nut a problem on a Hawkesley drive?
The fitter carries a removal kit for exactly that, and it takes the nut out without damaging the alloy. Tell us about the lost key when you first call, with the make and model, so the right sockets and extractors come along.
