Tyre Trouble on the Alcester Road?
Kings Heath grew up along the A435 Alcester Road, about four miles south of central Birmingham, and the High Street is still the spine of the place. Traffic squeezes through it on the way in and out of the city, buses stop and start, and the residential roads either side are lined with parked cars. It's a suburb where a puncture tends to be discovered at the kerb rather than on an open road.
That's exactly where we work best. A mobile fitter drives to your street, swaps or repairs the tyre beside the car, and leaves. No booking a slot at a garage across town, no driving on a flat. We take calls at any hour and aim to be with you within 60 minutes in most cases, depending on where you are and how busy the A435 is.
Supermarket and shopper car parks off the High Street are fine too. As long as there's room for the fitter to reach the wheel and work safely, we can usually get you sorted before you've finished your shopping, or at least before the parking ticket runs out. Night calls are welcome as well, whether you've just got back from a late shift or found the tyre flat before the morning school run.
From Your Call to a Roadworthy Car
- Give us the basics. Your street or postcode, the car registration and the tyre size if you can see it on the sidewall.
- A fitter nearby takes the job. We have more than 100 mobile fitters across England and Wales, so it goes to whoever is closest to south Birmingham.
- The work is done at the roadside. Balancing is included free, your old tyre goes away with the fitter at no charge, and new tyres come with the manufacturer's guarantee.
- You pay when it's finished. Card, cash or bank transfer, with no hidden fees added on.
Services for Kings Heath and Moseley Drivers
- Mobile tyre fitting: new tyres in premium, mid-range or budget brands, fitted on your road so you keep your parking space.
- Puncture repair: where the hole is small and in the middle of the tread, a proper repair gets you going again without buying a new tyre.
- Van tyres: for couriers and tradespeople working the terraces of B14, so a flat doesn't wipe out a day's drops or jobs.
- Breakdown recovery: when the wheel or suspension is damaged and the car needs to go elsewhere for repair.
South Birmingham Streets We Know
We cover Kings Heath from end to end, including the High Street, Alcester Road South and the neighbouring Brandwood area, plus Moseley just to the north along the A435. Hall Green lies a short way east of the suburb and is within easy reach too.
Our fitters also work in nearby Selly Oak, Shirley and Solihull, and across the rest of Birmingham.
After a Pothole or Speed Hump: Look for a Bulge
Suburban roads mean speed humps, worn patches and the odd deep pothole, and hitting one too fast can pinch the tyre between the road and the wheel rim. The damage doesn't always show as a flat. Instead, the cords inside the sidewall break and a lump appears on the side of the tyre, sometimes days later.
After a hard knock, turn the steering to full lock and run your hand and eye along the outer sidewall of the front tyres, then check the rears as best you can. A bulge, blister or split can't be repaired and means the tyre may burst, so replace it before your next long drive. A steering wheel that sits off-centre afterwards is also worth getting checked, as the alignment may have shifted.
