A fitter at your car
in Rednal.
Rednal is residential and quiet, so tyre trouble here usually means a car found flat on the drive or a slow leak that has finally beaten the compressor. Visitors to the country park also ring from Lickey Road with a warning light on. Groveley Lane and Rose Hill connect the streets to the A38, and that busy road is where a lot of the damage begins. Pass on the tyre size plus where you live, and the car never has to move an inch.

Tyre work in Rednal.
Rednal jobs are mostly domestic: a replacement tyre sourced to the car's size and fitted on the drive, with the manufacturer's warranty behind it. Where a screw or nail sits in the tread, the fitter dismounts the tyre, checks the inner lining, and repairs it with the patch and plug that BS AU 159 describes, provided the hole qualifies. Blown tyres are replaced and the wheel examined. Where the locking nut key has gone, the nut is extracted with care for the alloy. The phone is answered at every hour.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
A driveway is the easiest surface in Rednal and most jobs end on one. A level kerb in a quiet side road off Lickey Road will do when there is no drive. Where the car can still be driven gently, the Town Centre Car Park at Longbridge is close, and the Sainsbury's and M&S car parks are alternatives with the store's permission. The carriageway of Lickey Road, the Longbridge Island roundabout and anywhere the car cannot sit level are not workable.
Calls come from the streets along Lickey Road and Barnt Green Road, from the Rose Hill side towards Rubery, and from homes near Groveley Lane on the Cofton Hackett border. Most houses here have a drive, which is where a Rednal job normally takes place. Anyone parked for the Lickey Hills Country Park can ring from there, and the fitter will judge on arrival whether there is room to work. Commuters use Longbridge station, under a mile away, where a residential street nearby is usually simpler than railway parking. Longbridge town centre has public parking within reach of a car still able to drive. Longbridge Island and the A38 are no place to stop a car, and the hilly stretches of Lickey Road need a level spot found first.

At night Rednal is quiet, and the calls are usually from a household that needs the car early, or a driver back late from the A38 with the tyre sinking. The phone is answered, and you know the full charge and have accepted it before anyone leaves the base.
