Wheel damage near Monkspath, Solihull — same-day recovery
Wheel damage does not care what postcode you are in, but the fix does. In Solihull (B90/B91/B92) the deciding factors are usually parking on modern office campuses, the width of the approach off A45, and whether the vehicle still rolls. If you can see M42 Junction 5 from where you are standing, the driver already knows the approach. Loading on A34 needs a safe run-off; near Touchwood shopping centre that usually means the side road. It keeps the job to one visit, which is the whole point. Trade sites we visit most: Monkspath and Cranmore.

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.
Getting a truck to you in Solihull
The aim is a boring recovery — in, loaded, gone. That approach is why Solihull repeat callers ask for the same driver. Distances we work to here: 12 miles from the Oldbury yard, 7 to the city centre. Because Solihull is only 12 miles from base, jobs here are single-truck with no relay.
The likely cause
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
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.

Solihull questions
Can a cracked alloy wheel be repaired in Solihull?
Sometimes, depending on the severity and location of the crack — a specialist wheel repairer can advise, and we can recover you to one.
Can you get a transporter into Monkspath?
Usually yes, but tell us the unit and gate before we set off. Some yards around Monkspath 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 Solihull?
It's worth having the tracking and suspension checked, since a hard impact can knock these out even without visible wheel damage.
Is it safe to drive on a tyre with a bulge in Solihull?
No, a bulge indicates internal damage and the tyre can fail suddenly, so it shouldn't be driven on even for a short distance.
Is Solihull closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 12 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 7 miles from the city centre, so we come to you directly rather than routing through town.
