Mobile tyre fitting
in Keresley.
Keresley sits where Coventry gives way to open country, strung along the B4098 as Keresley Road becomes Tamworth Road. Rescue Tyres drives out with the tyre and fits it at the house, the van parked up beside the car.
A fitter at your car
in Keresley.
Out on the edge of the city, a flat tyre is more awkward than it is in town, because help is not just round the corner. Most calls from Keresley are about a tyre found soft on the drive, or one that picked up a screw on Tamworth Road or Long Lane and just about made it home. There is no need to drive anywhere on it. Give the fitter the size and your address, and the tyre comes to the house.

Tyre work in Keresley.
A tyre sourced to the size on the sidewall is brought out and fitted on the drive, then balanced on the van. A screw in the tread is investigated with the tyre off the rim, and repaired from the inside wherever the British Standard for repairs, BS AU 159, allows it. A burst Keresley tyre is renewed and the rim checked for dents. Locking nuts are no barrier even without the key, and calls are answered every hour of the week.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
A driveway is the working surface for almost every Keresley job. Failing that, a residential street, the car parked straight, away from a bend, with space on the road side for the fitter. There is no public car park in Keresley to fall back on, so if the car still rolls, the nearest big open car park is Alvis Retail Park, nearer the city. The verge of Tamworth Road, Long Lane or Coundon Wedge Drive is never somewhere to jack a car.
The calls come from homes along Keresley Road and Tamworth Road, from the streets towards Coundon and Whitmore Park, and from the scattered houses out by Keresley Green, Brownshill Green and Hawkes End. The whole area is CV6. Most jobs are done on a drive, which is the natural surface out here, and a quiet residential street works where there is no drive. The B4098 carries through traffic with little room at the edge in places, so a car with a flat on it should be taken into the nearest side road before it stops for good. Coundon Wedge Drive and Long Lane offer nowhere sensible to stop either, and a tyre that goes on either is best nursed on to a residential turning.

24 hours in Keresley.
Night calls from Keresley are usually somebody who has come home late along Tamworth Road with the pressure warning on, or who finds the car sitting low on the drive before an early start. Whoever rings reaches a person at any hour, and the tyre and callout are priced plainly on that first call.
