Chester Road is the busy line through New Oscott, and plenty of tyre trouble begins there, with a nail picked up in traffic that turns into a flat later. College Road and Jockey Road, both on the A453, bring more cars past the edge. Whatever the cause, ring with the size and a location, and a tyre comes out in the van. A damaged tyre is safer left where it is than driven round looking for help.

Tyre work in New Oscott.
New Oscott callouts are a mix. A nail through the tread is put right to BS AU 159, with the tyre lifted off the wheel so a patch can go on from inside. A replacement tyre is matched to the size and speed rating of the original. A burst on Chester Road is dealt with once the car has reached a safe side street. Lost locking keys are no barrier; the nuts come off with an extractor. Help is available at any hour, weekends included.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
A drive, or a quiet residential street off Chester Road, is the simplest place to change a tyre in New Oscott. Princess Alice Retail Park has space if the car is parked on the edge, away from the entrance. The Aldi, Lidl and M&S Foodhall car parks can also be used for a driveable car, with some care over where it is left. Chester Road and the College Road junction are not usable for the job.
Calls come from homes in B23 and B73 on either side of Chester Road, from Boldmere and Short Heath close by, and from shoppers at Princess Alice Retail Park. Commuters who leave a car near Wylde Green or Chester Road station are covered too. On Chester Road itself there is no room to lift a car beside the traffic, so turn off into a residential street before you stop. The supermarket car parks, Sainsbury's and Tesco Extra among them, have space for a car that can crawl there. Clarke Industrial Estate and Holford Industrial Estate are near enough for working vans. New Oscott is far outside the A4540 Middleway, so the Birmingham Clean Air Zone charge does not apply to anyone here.

24 hours in New Oscott.
Night calls come from drivers who get home to B23 or B73 late and notice the tyre, and from shift workers heading out early. There is always a person on the other end of the line, and you hear the full cost before saying yes to anything.
