Tyre trouble in Meriden?

Much of the tyre trouble around Meriden comes off the A45. The Meriden Bypass carries heavy traffic, and a tyre damaged there usually gets nursed into the village before the driver looks at it. Main Road, Hampton Lane and Fillongley Road account for the local mileage, with the B4102 heading out into open country on either side. Phone with the tyre dimensions and your CV7 postcode, and the van leaves north London with the correct tyre on board.

What we do in Meriden
Tyre work in Meriden.
Drivers here mostly need a replacement tyre after damage on the A45, or a repair for a screw collected on Main Road. The tyre is taken off before any repair so the inside can be examined; if the hole is in the part of the tread BS AU 159 permits and the casing is sound, a combined plug and patch seals it from within. Blowouts are replaced. Losing the locking nut key does not strand the car, since the nut can be taken off carefully. The line runs day and night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Meriden
Drives, bays and car parks.
A driveway is the best answer, and most Meriden houses have one. A quiet residential street will do as well, with the car pulled up clear of any junction. Shop parking on Main Road is meant for customers, so it is not the place to plan a job, and hotel parking is for guests. The A45, the Meriden Bypass and the verges beside them are ruled out entirely: pull off into the village first and the fitter meets you there.
Calls come from the houses along Main Road and the roads off it, from Fillongley Road towards Pickford Green, and from Hampton Lane on the Solihull side. Four Oaks, Pinketts Booth and Pickford Green are all on the same round. The A45 is a dual carriageway, and nobody changes a wheel beside it; anyone who senses a tyre giving way should take the exit into the village and stop somewhere quiet. There is no public car park in Meriden worth naming, since the hotel car park is for hotel guests, so drives and residential side streets are where the work gets done. Main Road carries too much traffic for a jack at the kerb.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Meriden.
The A45 carries traffic all night, and late calls to Meriden usually come from someone who has left the dual carriageway with a tyre breaking up and stopped in the village. Anyone stranded somewhere dangerous should get clear of the car and dial 999. Otherwise the phone is answered, and you agree the price before putting the phone down.

Meriden FAQs
Questions from Meriden.
I had a blowout on the A45 near Meriden. What should I do?
Get the car off the dual carriageway at the first safe moment, even at a crawl, and stop on a village street clear of traffic. Put the hazard lights on, get everyone out on the verge side, then ring with the tyre size. Nobody fits on the A45 itself.
Is there anywhere in Meriden to meet if I am just passing through?
A quiet residential road just off Main Road is usually the answer, since there is no large public car park in the village. Give the fitter the road and a house number to aim for, keep the car well away from the junction, and it can be dealt with there.
Can you come to Four Oaks or Pinketts Booth near Meriden?
Both are part of the same round, along with Pickford Green and the lanes off Fillongley Road. A gateway or a drive is needed on the lanes, so describe what is around the car when you call, and the fitter will give a realistic arrival time.
Does Meriden fall inside Birmingham's Clean Air Zone?
It does not. Meriden is part of Solihull, where no clean air scheme operates, while the Birmingham zone covers only the city centre within the A4540 Middleway. A car having a tyre fitted on a drive here pays nothing to any scheme.
