Mobile tyre fitting
in Moor Pool.
Moor Pool is the residential pocket of Harborne a stone's throw from the High Street, B17, with Metchley Lane and Harborne Park Road close by. Rescue Tyres shows up carrying the correct tyre and does the whole job beside your parked car.
A fitter at your car
in Moor Pool.
Moor Pool cars mostly do short local runs: to the High Street, along Harborne Park Road towards the hospital, out to the Hagley Road. A small nail from one of those trips, or a sidewall scuffed while parking, is the usual cause of trouble. Because the car is normally outside the house, the job is done there. Text over the sidewall size and your address, and the van comes up from north London already carrying the tyre.

Tyre work in Moor Pool.
Most Moor Pool jobs are for household cars. A new tyre is brought in the car's exact size, fitted, then balanced at the kerb. A slow puncture in the centre of the tread can often be saved, with the repair made from inside the casing under BS AU 159. A tyre damaged beyond that, or burst on the Hagley Road, is replaced after a check of the rim. A missing locking nut key is sorted without harming the alloy, and the service runs twenty-four hours.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
In Moor Pool the fitter works at the car outside the house or on the drive, as long as there is space to reach the wheel and the van can stop without blocking the street. Legal kerbside parking suits most jobs. A store car park off the High Street works with the store's permission. Busy stretches of the A4040 and B4129, bus stops, and any bay where the parking time would run out mid-job are best avoided.
Callers in Moor Pool are nearly all residents, parked outside their homes or on drives in the streets between the High Street and Metchley Lane. Some parking near the High Street is short-stay or under a permit scheme, so tell the fitter if the car sits in a restricted bay and whether it may stay there. Nursery Road and Metchley Lane on the B4129, and the A4040 along the High Street and Harborne Park Road, carry heavier traffic and are not where a fitter sets up. Supermarket car parks near the High Street belong to the stores and need their agreement. Moor Pool, like the rest of Harborne, sits beyond the Birmingham Clean Air Zone and its A4540 Middleway edge, so the zone never touches a car serviced here.

Late calls from Moor Pool tend to come from hospital staff home after a shift, or residents who need the car before the High Street wakes up. Somebody answers whatever the clock says, and the whole cost is pinned down in that call before the van is dispatched.
