Mobile tyre fitting
in Newtown.
Newtown in Birmingham runs north from the Middleway along the A34 New Town Row and High Street. Rescue Tyres takes new tyres and puncture repairs out to the car, on the street, outside home or in one of the public car parks.
A fitter at your car
in Newtown.
The A34 carries a heavy load through Newtown, and the points where it meets the ring road at Newtown Middleway and New John Street West are hard on kerbs. Summer Lane and the estates around it bring trade vehicles and loose fixings onto the road. A tyre usually gives out on a side street or while the car is parked overnight. Pass on the tyre size and a pin, and that tyre is aboard when the fitter pulls up.

Tyre work in Newtown.
In Newtown, the tyre is bought in to match the sidewall and put on in the car park, the yard or at the kerb. Punctures are repaired to BS AU 159 where the hole is in the central tread area and small enough, after a check inside; anything else becomes a new tyre. Burst tyres are replaced outright, the wheel rim inspected before refitting. Without the key, a locking nut is taken off with removal tools and a standard nut goes on. Calls are taken all week.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
The public car parks are the stand-out option in Newtown: Hanley Street, Hanley Street and Summer Lane, Cecil Street, Cliveland Street and Lower Tower Street all have marked bays with room to work. Vans do well in an estate yard, with the owner's agreement. A residential street works for a legally parked car. The coach and lorry park is not used, and neither is the kerb of the A34 itself.
Calls in Newtown come from homes in the streets either side of New Town Row, from businesses on Summer Lane Industrial Estate and St Chads Industrial Estate, and from people using the public car parks at Hanley Street, Cecil Street and Lower Tower Street. Lozells and Aston are close to the north. Streets here can be packed with parked cars, so a fitter needs a legal space and room on the working side. New Town Row and High Street are main roads with heavy traffic and are not used for jacking a car. Newtown falls on the uncharged side of the Middleway; the charge is about driving in, and none falls on a Newtown car sitting still for its wheel change.

24 hours in Newtown.
After dark in Newtown, the ringing phone usually means a late shift in the city centre ending beside a flat, or a tyre gone soft on a car left on the street. There is always someone on the phone. The cost is agreed up front, and a realistic arrival is set during that conversation.
