Mobile tyre fitting
in Hillfields.
Hillfields in Coventry sits just outside the A4053 ring road, where Sky Blue Way and Jimmy Hill Way carry traffic away from the centre. Rescue Tyres handles the job at the car, kerbside or in a public car park.
A fitter at your car
in Hillfields.
Hillfields tyres take a beating from the roads that wrap round it. Ringway Swanswell and Ringway Whitefriars bring the short, kerbed merges of the A4053, while Sky Blue Way and Jimmy Hill Way carry the A4600 and A444 out of town. A rim nicked on a slip or a screw collected near the city centre often shows up as a slow leak later on. Pass on the car's location and the sidewall numbers, and the right tyre is on board.

Tyre work in Hillfields.
The work in Hillfields runs from a single new tyre fitted in a car park bay to a set of four swapped on the street outside a house. A puncture is only repaired after the tyre has come off and the inside has been checked, and then only when BS AU 159 allows it, meaning a small hole within the middle band of tread. Kerb damage from the ring road more often means a replacement. Lost locking keys are sorted with a removal tool and a plain replacement nut. The callout line runs through the night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
Gosford Street (Long Stay) Car Park, Grove Street Car Park and Lower Ford Street Car Park are all usable if the car can reach them and the chosen bay gives space all round the wheel. A kerbside space on a wider street works too, and a drive, where there is one, is easiest of all. White Street coach park is for coaches, not a place to leave a car for a tyre job. The ring road slips and Sky Blue Way are never used.
Calls come from the streets between Walsgrave Road and the ring road, from students and staff at Coventry University parked nearby, and from the business parks on the fringe, including Cyan Business Park and Bishopgate Business Park. The postcode is CV1 nearer the centre and CV2 further out. Parking is tight in places. Some streets close to the centre are permit-controlled, so mention any permit bay, and a car cannot be lifted safely where the road is barely wide enough for traffic to pass. The ring road, with its junctions packed close together, is somewhere to leave before stopping, never somewhere to wait. No clean air charge exists in Coventry, so driving in along London Road or Binley Road costs nothing extra.

24 hours in Hillfields.
Hillfields stays busy late, with students and shift workers on the move around the ring road. A flat found at midnight on Walsgrave Road or in a long-stay car park is exactly the kind of call that comes in, and the phone call fixes what tyre and visit will cost first.
