Tyre trouble in Smithfield?

in Smithfield.
Most tyre trouble in Smithfield belongs to people passing through. A commuter steps off a train at Moor Street or New Street to find the car sitting low, or a shopper discovers a nail collected on the approach to the Queensway Tunnel. The worst move is driving on it: every street inside the Middleway is in the Clean Air Zone, and a flat ruins a rim long before it reaches the ring road. Stay put, send the tyre size and the car park name, and the work happens beside the car.

What we do in Smithfield
Tyre work in Smithfield.
Smithfield work is mostly the urgent kind. A tread puncture from city debris gets its tyre dismounted and inspected inside; a small hole within the central band qualifies for a BS AU 159 repair, and anything else becomes a new tyre in the matching size. A blowout on the A38 means a replacement, then the rim gets checked for a bent lip. A lost locking nut key is overcome with proper removal tools rather than guesswork, and the phone is staffed all night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Smithfield
Drives, bays and car parks.
Edgbaston Street Car Park and Coventry Street Car Park are the sort of places a Smithfield job gets done: level floors, room beside the car, and a barrier somebody can lift. Multi-storey decks only work where the van clears the height limit, so mention it if the car is parked high up. Side-street pay-and-display works as well, so long as no wheel strays over the painted lines. Red routes, taxi ranks and the station drop-off lanes are ruled out.
Calls here come from three directions. Rail passengers leave cars in Moor Street Car Park or on the streets behind the station. Visitors to the Chinese Quarter park around Edgbaston Street and Bristol Street. Drivers heading south along Suffolk Street Queensway pull off when the steering starts to tug to one side. The postcode is B5 almost throughout, yet in a centre this dense a car park name tells the fitter far more than a postcode can. Pay car parks are the realistic working ground, provided the operator has no quarrel with it and the van can reach the level. Loading bays, bus lanes and the kerbs of the A38 are not usable, and nobody jacks a car inside the Queensway Tunnel. A non-compliant car pays the zone charge for being driven here, not for standing still while a wheel comes off.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Smithfield.
After the last trains leave Moor Street and New Street, the calls come from people who returned to a flat tyre and have no other way home. Ring 07473 720871 whatever the hour. The van sets out from north London only once the price and a realistic arrival time have been pinned down together.

Smithfield FAQs
Questions from Smithfield.
Can you change a tyre in Moor Street Car Park?
Usually, provided the van can reach the level the car is on and the operator raises no objection. Tell the fitter the floor and the bay, and whether the barrier needs a ticket. If the car sits above the height the van can clear, the fitter explains the alternatives before setting out.
Does driving a flat tyre out of Smithfield bring a Clean Air Zone charge?
A non-compliant car driven inside the Middleway is charged for that day, and Smithfield is well inside it. Getting the new tyre put on in the parking space adds no charge at all, and it also spares a rim that the trip would grind down.
My tyre went down in the Queensway Tunnel. Where should I stop?
Keep rolling gently and leave the tunnel before stopping, because there is nowhere safe inside it. Once out, pull off into Edgbaston Street Car Park or a quiet side road, hazards on, and send the location. If the car cannot move at all, ring 999.
Is Smithfield covered even though the van comes from London?
It is. Rescue Tyres covers the stretch from London up to Birmingham, and the city centre sits inside that patch. With a long run between Brent Cross and B5, any arrival time given over the phone is an honest estimate rather than a hopeful guess.
