Mobile tyre fitting

A fitter at your car
in Wood End.

Most tyre calls from Wood End start on the estate itself: a slow puncture spotted on the way out to the car, or a sidewall scuffed against a kerb turning off Henley Road. The B4109 through Bell Green and Alderman's Green carries the buses and delivery traffic that leave screws and glass in the gutter, and those tend to show up a day later as a soft tyre. Send a photo of the sidewall numbers with the street name, and the van loads that size before it leaves.

Drives, bays and car parks.

Where a Wood End house has its own drive, that is the simplest spot of all. Failing that, a side street on the estate with space alongside the car does the job perfectly well. Riley Square Shopping Centre has parking close to the shops, so a motorist able to crawl there on a soft tyre can meet the fitter, ideally in a quiet corner away from the entrance. Bus stops, pavements and the Hall Green Road carriageway are unsuitable for jacking.

Calls come from the houses around Manor House and Henley Green, the homes nearer Riley Square, and the roads feeding Bell Green Road. Much of the parking on the estate is on the street, so the fitter often works at the kerb outside the door, which is fine on a quiet side road with a little room around the wheel. A tight row of parked cars is harder: if the flat wheel is hemmed in, shifting the car along to a corner or a gap helps. Henley Road and Hall Green Road are through routes with buses on them, so a car stranded on either is better nudged into the nearest side street before anyone jacks it up. Coventry has no charging clean air zone, and a parked car getting new rubber is never billed for it.
