Tyre trouble in Old Hill?

In Old Hill a tyre problem tends to surface at the worst moment: back at the car at the station in the evening, or leaving the house early along Halesowen Road. Most are nails and screws in the tread, picked up on the A459 or the A4100, plus the odd kerbed sidewall from squeezing into a space. Leave the car put. Pass on the sidewall size and which street it is in, and the tyre is repaired or replaced beside the car.

What we do in Old Hill
Tyre work in Old Hill.
Old Hill jobs are mostly for the everyday car. A new tyre comes in the size printed on the old one, and goes on and is balanced by the car. A tread puncture means the tyre is dismounted, inspected inside, and repaired by the BS AU 159 method when the damage falls inside the permitted zone; outside it, a new tyre is the honest answer. After a burst, the wheel is checked over and a new tyre fitted. A mislaid key for the locking wheel nuts holds nothing up either, and callouts run round the clock.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Old Hill
Drives, bays and car parks.
The station car park is the usual answer for commuters: a paid bay gives the fitter room at the wheel, and the car need not be moved first. Drives on the residential roads off Halesowen Road and Reddal Hill Road come next. A quiet side street works too. Ruled out: the A459 carriageway, bus stops, and anywhere on Highgate Street where traffic would have to swing out around the van.
Old Hill is part of Sandwell, and calls come from three directions. Commuters use Old Hill station and leave cars in its car park or the streets around it. Residents live along and off Heathfield Way, Halesowen Road and Highgate Street on the A459, and up Reddal Hill Road and Powke Lane on the A4100, with Cherry Orchard and Plant's Green close by. Working vans come from the Waterfall Lane and Corngreaves trading estates. The station car park works for any car left in a marked bay, and the side streets are fine where there is room for the van behind. The junctions around Highgate Street are too busy to stop at, and Sandwell makes no clean-air charge.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Old Hill.
Late trains bring the typical Old Hill night call: a commuter stepping off the platform to a car sitting on its rim, with no wish to walk home. Ring or message, say which bay, and the charge is settled before a spanner is packed.

Old Hill FAQs
Questions from Old Hill.
Can you fit a tyre in the Old Hill station car park?
A car in a marked, paid bay at Old Hill station normally stays where it is for the whole job. Describe roughly where it sits and what it looks like, and leave the locking nut key reachable if you are heading off to work.
Is Old Hill in Dudley or Sandwell?
My van picked up a screw at Waterfall Lane Trading Estate near Old Hill. Can it be repaired there?
A screw through the tread that has left only a small hole usually qualifies, and the tyre is repaired from inside in the yard. Tell the fitter the unit, confirm the site is happy, and give the van's full size including the load rating.
Do you come out to Old Hill at weekends?
Every day of the week, weekends included, with calls answered through the night. Setting off from Brent Cross, the van is a long way from B64, so you get a straight answer on timing during the call.
