Can anybody recommend a cheap helpful little garage reasonably near Grove Lane/Dog Kennel Hill Road?

I'm visiting my daughter (only recently moved here - she's the one registered on this forum) and the car I borrowed has a flat tyre. the car is not covered by the AA.


Thirty odd years ago I would have changed it myself, but at nearly 70 it is beyond me.

I went there for a new tyre.. They told me they would have to order one and it could take some time

as my tyre was not gerally available..


I drive a Ford Escort Encore 1.6. Not exactly a specialist car.

Most tyres can't be repaired if you drive on them flat for even a short distance, as the sidewalls break down. So, Kwikfit get to sell you a new one in most cases. It's really quite clever.

Melbourne Tyres sounds really nice over the phone, but cannot come out as he works on his own.

The local Kwikfit says they cannot come out - I have to contact the national Kwikfit Mobile Service.

And they want details of existing wheel and tyre sizes.

A tomorrow job. Sigh.

they have always been decent when i go in - changing over a full set of wheels for one I had obtained elsewhere for free & a puncture repair for nowt, apart from a fiver or whatever for a "drink". pretty sure they have some kind of company policy to do small bits and pieces for free.

    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.

    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
