The A462 changes its name several times as it passes through Short Heath, and a good share of local tyre calls start somewhere along it: a puncture from the road, a kerb clipped turning off Coltham Road, or a tyre that loses air after a run down Essington Road. The rest are cars on drives and in side streets that went flat overnight. Tell us which stretch the car is on and the size from the sidewall.

What we do in Short Heath
Tyre work in Short Heath.
Short Heath is mostly household cars with some vans parked at home. New tyres come in the size and rating your car needs, sourced before the van sets off. A puncture in the tread is checked from inside the tyre and patched to BS AU 159 if it is in the repairable area. A burst WV12 tyre is swapped once its wheel has been checked for cracks. A lost locking key is dealt with using specialist removal tools, and callouts are taken at night and at weekends.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Short Heath
Drives, bays and car parks.
Drives come first in Short Heath, with the residential side roads off the A462 a close second. The Coltham Road Long Stay Car Park is a good public option for a driveable car, taking an end bay so the fitter has space to kneel and roll the tyre. Not usable: the A462 carriageway and its junctions, the A4124, a grass verge, and any bay on private business land without permission.
Calls come from the streets behind the A462 through Short Heath, and from the edges towards Lane Head, New Invention and Pool Hayes. Many homes have a drive; others leave the car kerbside on the residential side roads. The Coltham Road Long Stay Car Park gives a public option for any car that can still manage the short drive there. The A462 itself is not somewhere to stop: it is a through route and a stranded car should move into a side street. The A4124 Lichfield Road just to the south is the same. Walsall has no clean-air charge, and Short Heath is well outside the Birmingham zone, so nothing is payable for the car sitting still during a tyre change.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Short Heath.
Evening and overnight calls from Short Heath come from people finding a flat on the drive after getting home late, and from early starters who need the car working. A person rather than a machine answers at any hour, and the whole WV12 job is priced before the van leaves.

Short Heath FAQs
Questions from Short Heath.
Which Short Heath do you cover?
This page is for Short Heath in the Walsall borough, WV12, on the A462 near New Invention and Lane Head. When you call 07473 720871, give the full WV12 postcode, since other places in England share the name.
Can you fit a tyre at the Coltham Road Long Stay Car Park?
That long stay car park works for a car still fit to cover the short hop there. Pick an end bay, pay as normal, and message the fitter which corner of the Coltham Road car park you are in plus the tyre size.
My tyre is flat on Straight Road. What should I do?
If the car will move, get it into the nearest side street and stop with hazards on. Driving on along the A462 with no air shreds the casing and can spoil a puncture that was otherwise mendable. Ring from the side street with the size and the road name.
Is there a clean air zone in Short Heath?
There is no clean-air charge in Short Heath or anywhere in Walsall. Birmingham operates the only zone nearby, bounded by the Middleway ring road, and it matters to a WV12 driver only when heading into central Birmingham.
