A fitter at your car
in Stirchley.
The Pershore Road through Stirchley is lined with shops, short bays and bus stops, and the streets behind it are narrow terraces. That makes a flat tyre awkward to deal with on your own, with little room to kneel beside the wheel and traffic squeezing past. The fitter plans around it. Give the tyre size, the street and a sense of how much space there is around the car, and the job is worked out before the van arrives.

Tyre work in Stirchley.
Punctures picked up on the high street or in the terraces are dealt with by taking the tyre off and repairing it from inside, to BS AU 159, where the damage allows, or fitting a new one where it does not. Burst tyres are replaced and balanced on site. Losing or breaking the locking wheel nut key does not strand the car, because the nut can be taken off with the proper tools. Any hour, any day, the fitter works at the car.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
On a terraced street the car needs a little space around the flat wheel; if it is boxed in and can be moved safely, shift it a few yards to a wider spot. Driveways work well where they exist. The supermarket car parks and the Stirchley Trading Estate are the main alternatives. The Cadbury World car park is private ground. Pershore Road bays and bus stops are out, as is any narrow street that a raised car would close.
Most calls come from the terraced streets off Pershore Road and Hazelwell Street, both part of the A441 through the centre, and from the roads towards Bournville and Lifford. The high street itself has short bays and bus stops, which rule it out for a wheel change. Fordhouse Lane and Vicarage Road carry the A4040 Outer Circle through the area, and they are no places to stop either. The Stirchley Trading Estate and the Lemar Industrial Estate are where vans usually wait, and a yard on either is a good place to work. The Aldi, Lidl and Morrisons car parks nearby are useful if the car can cover a short distance. Stirchley is a long way from the Clean Air Zone, so that charge never comes into it.

Stirchley's night calls come from people in the terraces who find a flat after a late shift, and from passengers walking back from Bournville station. Ring, give the location and the tyre size, and settle the full price before the fitter leaves Brent Cross.
