Sorted in Billesley: wheel damage handled 24/7
If wheel damage has stopped you in B13, the practical questions are how far the vehicle has to travel, where it is going, and what it is standing on. From Billesley that is typically a short run inside West Midlands. From the yard it is 9 miles to Billesley, mostly dual carriageway. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck. Typical drop points from here: garages in B13, storage in West Midlands, or Kings Heath. Fuel type matters before we tow: EVs and hybrids from B13 go on the deck, not on a rope.

We attend kerb and pothole damage across Birmingham, Solihull, Sandwell and the Black Country, checking the wheel and tyre on scene to establish whether it's safe to continue on a spare or whether recovery is the sensible option.
Billesley in practical terms
The commercial spine of Billesley runs through Yardley Wood Road trading units, with Trittiford Mill Park as the obvious landmark. If you can name either when you ring, the dispatcher can place you inside B13 immediately and brief the driver on the approach.
Common causes we see
Checking for hidden damage
A hard kerb strike can also knock the wheel alignment (tracking) out or damage suspension components even if the wheel and tyre look fine. If the steering feels off after the impact even once the wheel's sorted, it's worth having the tracking and suspension checked at a garage.
What to look for after a hard impact
A visible crack in an alloy wheel, a noticeable bulge or lump on the tyre sidewall, a new vibration through the steering wheel at speed, or the car pulling to one side can all indicate wheel or tyre damage from an impact. A bulge on the tyre is a particular concern since it indicates internal damage that can lead to a sudden blowout.
Why a bulge in the tyre is serious
A sidewall bulge means the internal structure of the tyre has been damaged, even though the tyre may still be holding air. There's no reliable way to know how close it is to failing completely, so a tyre with a visible bulge shouldn't be driven on, even for a short distance.
- Sidewall bulge — stop driving on it, risk of sudden blowout
- Cracked alloy wheel — can worsen and cause a slow air leak or sudden deflation
- New vibration after an impact — have it checked before continuing
- Car pulling to one side after hitting a kerb — could be wheel or tracking damage

Billesley questions
Is it safe to drive on a tyre with a bulge in Billesley?
No, a bulge indicates internal damage and the tyre can fail suddenly, so it shouldn't be driven on even for a short distance.
What does wheel damage cost in Billesley?
We quote a flat figure on the phone based on the actual distance, the vehicle and the access. At roughly 9 miles from base, Billesley is a local job — no per-mile meter, no call-out fee bolted on afterwards.
Can a cracked alloy wheel be repaired in Billesley?
Sometimes, depending on the severity and location of the crack — a specialist wheel repairer can advise, and we can recover you to one.
Is Billesley closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 9 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 5 miles from the city centre, so we come to you directly rather than routing through town.
Can you get a transporter into Yardley Wood Road trading units?
Usually yes, but tell us the unit and gate before we set off. Some yards around Yardley Wood Road trading units have height barriers or a tight turning circle, in which case we bring the spec-lift and winch out to the access road instead.
Will you fit my spare wheel on scene in Billesley?
Yes, if you have a usable spare and the wheel nuts aren't seized, we can fit it to get you to a tyre fitter.
Before you call from B13
We cover Billesley every day, not occasionally. That is why this page talks about Trittiford Mill Park and Yardley Wood Road trading units rather than listing every town in West Midlands. Callers from B13 usually describe one of three places: a street, a car park, or a unit. Neighbouring cover runs to Kings Heath, Acocks Green, Birmingham, all on the same rota. Locked wheels, missing keys and flat tyres all change the kit list for a B13 job. That is why the dispatcher asks for the street name in Billesley and not just the town.
