Wheel damage · Minworth B76
Minworth wheel damage callouts: what we do and what it costs
Under Birmingham City Council, Minworth mixes logistics parks with working units at Forge Lane trading area. Wheel damage in the first is a parking and access problem; in the second it is a downtime problem. This page deals with both. It is the difference between covering West Midlands and actually working it. If the vehicle is in a multi-storey, tell us the level: deck height rules out some trucks entirely. Postcode-level cover: B76, plus the ring of areas within a few miles. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck.

Clipping a kerb or hitting a deep pothole harder than expected can crack an alloy wheel, bend a rim, or damage the tyre without it being immediately obvious — sometimes the first sign is a vibration through the steering a few miles later, or a bulge appearing on the tyre sidewall.
Minworth in practical terms

What usually causes it
What we do on scene
We'll inspect the wheel and tyre and, if there's a usable spare and no other damage, can fit that to get you moving to a tyre fitter. If the damage is more significant, or there's no spare, we'll recover the car to a tyre or wheel repair specialist.
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.

Minworth questions
Will you fit my spare wheel on scene in Minworth?
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.
Can you get a transporter into Minworth industrial estate?
Usually yes, but tell us the unit and gate before we set off. Some yards around Minworth industrial estate have height barriers or a tight turning circle, in which case we bring the spec-lift and winch out to the access road instead.
What if the wheel looks fine but the steering feels different after hitting a kerb in Minworth?
It's worth having the tracking and suspension checked, since a hard impact can knock these out even without visible wheel damage.

No, a bulge indicates internal damage and the tyre can fail suddenly, so it shouldn't be driven on even for a short distance.
