"Had a rapidly deflating tyre. Rang Rescue Tyres, they had it in stock and I was back on the road within an hour."

A fitter at your car
in Walsgrave on Sowe.
Much of the tyre trouble here is found at the end of a long day. Visitors return to their car at University Hospital Coventry to a tyre that has gone soft, and people working at Cross Point Business Park find the same after a shift. Homes off Hinckley Road and Woodway Lane get their share too, usually a slow leak that started with debris on the A46. Nobody needs to move the car; the fitter brings the tyre and kit to it.

Tyre work in Walsgrave on Sowe.
Hospital and business park jobs are mostly punctures and worn tyres noticed at the end of a shift. The punctured tyre is removed and checked inside; if the hole lies in the zone BS AU 159 treats as repairable, it is sealed with a patch and plug, whereas damage in the shoulder or sidewall means replacing it. Replacements are matched to the size already on the car. Blowouts on the A46 end with a new tyre and an inspection of the rim, and a missing locking key holds nothing up.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
At home, the drive. At the hospital, a bay in a public visitor pay car park, away from the ambulance routes and the main entrance, with the parking paid as normal. At work, the forecourt of the unit you work from at Cross Point Business Park. Warwickshire Shopping Park and the large supermarket car parks nearby suit a car that can be driven there. Hinckley Road and Brinklow Road are not places to work at the kerb, and the A46 is never an option.
Callers come from the streets around Hinckley Road and Coventry Road, from Clifford Park and the roads towards Wyken, and from the units at Cross Point Business Park and Walsgrave Triangle Business Park. Postcodes are mostly CV2, with CV3 in parts. The hospital sits on Clifford Bridge Road, and its public pay car parks can work for a tyre job, but staff-only and blue-badge bays are not ours to use. The A46 is out entirely: it is a dual carriageway with no place to stop, and a tyre that fails on it needs to be nursed to the next junction and off onto a side road. Warwickshire Shopping Park, off the same bypass, offers open parking for anyone whose car still rolls.

Walsgrave's night calls are dominated by the hospital. Somebody leaving late finds a flat in a visitor car park, or a driver gets off the A46 at the next junction with a tyre going. There is always someone to answer, and the total is worked out with you before the fitter drives up.
