Mobile tyre fitting
in Smith's Wood.

A fitter at your car
in Smith's Wood.
Smith's Wood is a residential estate, and the typical call is about a tyre that let itself down overnight. The Chester Road, the B4114 here, runs close by, and Collector Road on the A452 is the bigger route out towards the wider road network. Any of them can leave a screw in a tread. Phone through the size and the street, attach a picture of the damage if there is one, and the fitter judges with you whether a repair is likely or a new tyre is due.

Tyre work in Smith's Wood.
At night the work is the same as by day. A tyre that has gone flat is checked first: a tidy hole near the middle of the tread qualifies for an inside repair to the rules of BS AU 159, while damage elsewhere means a replacement. New tyres come in the size read from your sidewall. Any rim that has carried a blown tyre gets a dent check before refitting, and security nuts can still come off when nobody knows where their key went.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
A drive, a parking bay in front of the house or a shared court behind a block all work. The fitter needs level ground and enough space to walk right around the wheel. Supermarket car parks such as Aldi or Morrisons can be used with permission from the store. Collector Road, the Chester Road and junction mouths are not places to stop; neither are grass verges, where a jack will sink into the soil.
Calls come from the houses and flats across the estate, from the Kingshurst edge, and from the streets towards Water Orton and Castle Bromwich. Many homes have a drive, and the rest have parking bays or kerb space out front. Blocks of flats often have shared courts, which work well when the ground is level. Collector Road carries the A452 traffic, so a driver whose tyre gives out on it should leave it for an estate road rather than stop. Firms at Castle Vale Enterprise Park and Hayward Industrial Estate are within reach too. Solihull has no clean air zone, so a tyre fitted here involves no charge of that kind.

Night calls here come from people on early and late shifts: someone leaving at four in the morning to find a flat tyre, or someone home after a late finish at a warehouse. There is somebody on the phone around the clock, and the cost is fixed together before the van is on the road.
