Mobile tyre fitting
in Oakham.

A fitter at your car
in Oakham.

Oakham is mostly houses on sloping roads, and the trouble here is usually quiet: a slow puncture noticed on the drive, tread worn to the legal minimum, a sidewall rubbed on a kerb when parking. The heavy stuff comes from the A4123 below and the A4033 Dudley Road West. Because most homes have space off the road, the fitter can nearly always do the job where the car already stands, without it moving an inch.

Drives, bays and car parks.

Your own drive is the surface to use in Oakham, and nearly every job here ends on one. A level space on a quiet residential road will do if there is none. For a car that is still moving, the Oldbury Green or Birchley Island retail park car parks are the obvious meeting points. Church and business car parks, the A4123 and the A4033 are not, and neither is any verge beside those roads.

Calls come from the residential streets that climb away from the A4123, from White Cross on one side and towards Tividale and City on the other. Driveways are common, which makes most jobs straightforward. Where a car is parked on the street, the fitter wants the flat on the pavement side and room for the van nearby. Oakham has almost no public car parks of its own: the car parks named on maps nearby are business yards and church land, not places for tyre work. The New Birmingham Road and the Wolverhampton Road carry heavy traffic and are not for stopping. Birchley Island Retail Park and Oldbury Green Retail Park are the nearest open car parks if the car can limp that far.
