Tyre trouble in Solihull Lodge?

in Solihull Lodge.
Solihull Lodge is almost entirely homes, so a tyre problem here is usually discovered at home. The car was fine on the Stratford Road, then sat on the drive overnight and lost its air. Or a sidewall caught the kerb on a tight turn into a close. In both cases the car need not move. Tell the fitter the street, photograph the tyre wall markings, and a matching tyre is found before the long run up the M1.

What we do in Solihull Lodge
Tyre work in Solihull Lodge.
Tyres of every grade arrive in the size your old ones show, go on at the house, and are balanced using the van's machine. A puncture near the centre of the tread is mended from inside to the BS AU 159 method, provided the hole is small enough and the tyre was not driven flat. Burst tyres are replaced once the rim has been examined. If the locking nut key is lost, the nut is taken off without damaging the alloy. Calls are answered around the clock.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Solihull Lodge
Drives, bays and car parks.
A drive is the everyday working surface in Solihull Lodge, and most jobs finish on one. Failing that, a side road is fine if it is lawful to park there and the fitter can get around the flat. Retail park and supermarket car parks near Shirley are an option for a car that can be driven, subject to agreement. The Stratford Road frontage, bus stops and anywhere the car blocks a junction are not usable, however short the job.
Calls come from the avenues between the Stratford Road and Haslucks Green, from the edge of B28 where Solihull Lodge meets Yardley Wood, and from streets near Shirley station. Drives are common and they are where the work normally happens. Where there is none, a side road with the car parked legally and room on the wheel side is fine. The A34 is the busy one, the retail strip through Shirley, so trouble there means crawling into a residential road instead of stopping at the roadside. Both retail parks off towards Shirley are within reach while the car still moves, and supermarket car parks such as Asda or Tesco suit with the store's agreement. There is no clean air charge in Solihull.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Solihull Lodge.
Night calls from Solihull Lodge tend to be the car that crept home off the Stratford Road on a failing tyre, and the flat discovered before a dawn start. Pick up the phone whatever the time, and the tyre size, location and price are sorted on that call.

Solihull Lodge FAQs
Questions from Solihull Lodge.
Is Solihull Lodge covered even though it borders Birmingham?
Both sides of the boundary are covered: the B90 streets in Solihull and the B28 edge towards Yardley Wood. Since the fitter drives up from Brent Cross, ring first, and a sensible idea of when the van might reach you is given before you agree.
Can you fit a tyre on the Stratford Road in Shirley?
Not at the roadside, where the traffic and the bus stops make it unsafe. Crawl into a residential turning or one of the retail park car parks, leave clearance around the flat, and the work happens there.
Do you bring the tyre to Solihull Lodge, or do I buy it first?
The tyre comes with the fitter. Read out the markings and name a grade, whether budget, mid-range or premium, so that tyre is loaded ahead of the journey. There is no need to buy one elsewhere and have it waiting.
Can you meet me near Shirley station?
Residential roads by the station make good meeting places, where parking is permitted and nothing blocks access to the flat. Pass on the road name, the tyre markings, and whether it still drives.
