“We were in need of an emergency mobile tyre. After getting ripped off high prices we phoned LTC and were given a great price, simple with no hidden costs. Dan arrived fast and was truly amazing. After being really worried that the alloy wheel might have been damaged, Dan inspected everything and took the time to show me and talk me through it, assuring me my wheel was fine, which was a big relief. Brilliant customer service and brilliant all round.”

Questions After an A491 Pothole Impact

Amblecote Buckled Wheel, Tyre Damage & Alignment Q&A

These questions focus specifically on pothole damage, busy-road call-outs and follow-up checks after an impact around Amblecote.

How can a pothole damage both the tyre and alloy wheel at the same time?
A hard impact can compress the tyre against the wheel and road surface. This may damage the tyre while also bending or flattening part of the alloy rim. Debbie's Corsa suffered both tyre damage and a buckled wheel in the same incident.
What does a buckled alloy wheel feel like after hitting a pothole?
Depending on the severity and location of the buckle, you may notice vibration, steering disturbance, loss of tyre pressure or simply find that the wheel does not rotate correctly when inspected. Some buckles are easier to identify on specialist equipment than from looking at the wheel on the vehicle.
Can you attend a damaged wheel on the A491 in Amblecote?
Subject to the exact location, safety and mobile availability, we can assist drivers around Amblecote. Debbie was attended on the A491 High Street outside Glasshouse College during a busy Friday afternoon.
How did Matt safely remove Debbie's wheel during Friday rush hour?
The vehicle first had to be positioned and secured so the wheel could be removed safely. Road and traffic conditions are assessed on each call-out, and work is only carried out where it is safe and suitable to do so.
Why was Debbie's wheel taken back to Stourbridge instead of repaired at the roadside?
Buckled alloy wheel straightening requires specialist workshop equipment. Matt therefore removed the wheel and transported it to our nearby Stourbridge branch, where the alloy could be professionally straightened before a new tyre was fitted and balanced.
Can a buckled wheel be repaired instead of replaced?
Many suitable alloy wheel buckles and flat spots can be professionally straightened, although this depends on the type, position and severity of the damage. The wheel must be inspected before deciding whether repair is appropriate.
Why was a new tyre fitted after Debbie's wheel was straightened?
Debbie's tyre had also been damaged by the pothole impact, so it was not simply a wheel repair. A new 195/55R16 91V XL Maxxis HP6 was fitted to the repaired wheel and then balanced before the wheel was returned to the vehicle.
Why did Debbie come back for wheel alignment a few days later?
A pothole impact can affect wheel geometry as well as the tyre and alloy. Debbie later returned to our Stourbridge branch for a second tyre and had the Corsa's wheel alignment checked and adjusted.
How close is the LTC Stourbridge branch to Amblecote?
Amblecote is very close to our Stourbridge branch. In Debbie's particular case, the workshop was approximately 1.5 miles from the A491 High Street location, which is around a five-minute journey in normal traffic.
Does Debbie's £168 first repair mean every Amblecote wheel repair costs the same?
No. Debbie's initial £168 total was specific to her Vauxhall Corsa and included a £30 mobile call-out, £60 wheel straightening and £78 replacement tyre. Prices vary depending on the wheel damage, tyre required and work involved.
