Tyre trouble in Short Heath?

Erdington station is under a mile from Short Heath, so some cars here are left near Marsh Lane and Station Road while their drivers take the train, and that is often where a slow puncture shows itself. The driver comes back to a tyre that has sunk during the day. The rest happen on Streetly Road or on the run down Summer Road towards Six Ways. Wherever it is, the car can stay put: send the size along with the street name, and the tyre is brought to it.

What we do in Short Heath
Tyre work in Short Heath.
Short Heath jobs cover the whole range: a new tyre sourced to the car's own size and to whatever spend suits, a puncture mended from the inside of the tyre to the BS AU 159 standard when the hole is in a repairable spot, and a replacement after a blowout. A locking wheel nut that is seized, or whose key is missing, gets removed so the wheel is free. Van tyres are sourced in just the same manner as car ones. Seven days a week, night included, the callout line stays open.
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.
A drive first, then the street outside with the car straight against the kerb. Station parking is railway land, so work there needs the operator's blessing, and a road nearby is often easier. Machin Road Car Park, which is public, will do for a car still able to roll that far. The Spar and Aldi bays are short stay and cramped. Anywhere on Six Ways or on the Outer Circle is out.
Calls come from the streets between Streetly Road and Marsh Lane, from the roads leading towards Erdington station, and from the Stockland Green and Upper Witton sides. Plenty of homes have a drive; where there is none, the job happens on the street with the car parked tidily. The main roads are the limit. Marsh Hill and Reservoir Road on the Outer Circle, the A5127 Summer Road and the Six Ways junction all carry too much traffic to stop and jack a car. Around the station and the High Street the parking is tighter, so say whether the car is on a restricted bay. The Clean Air Zone is well to the south and has nothing to do with B23.

Short Heath FAQs
Questions from Short Heath.
Do you cover Short Heath in Birmingham, near Erdington?
This page is for the Short Heath in B23, next to Erdington, Stockland Green and Perry Common. Vans travel up from the lone base at Brent Cross, in north London. Ring 07473 720871 and an honest arrival time gets agreed with you there and then.
My car is parked near Erdington station with a flat. Can you come there?
Tell the fitter exactly where it is standing. On a residential street near the station the work can usually be done where it is. If the car is in railway parking, it may need moving to a road outside, provided the tyre still holds some air.
Can you repair a tyre on Streetly Road?
Streetly Road carries through traffic, so it depends where the car is. Tucked into a side road or pulled onto a driveway, the car can be worked on. Stopped on the main road with traffic brushing past, it needs moving a short distance first, if the tyre allows it.
Can a Short Heath car with no locking nut key still have its tyre sorted?
Mention it when you ring. The locking nut is removed with specialist tools so the wheel can come off and the tyre can be dealt with. Knowing the make and model helps the fitter bring the right kit along.
